Thanks! "Les" sounds a little better to me, too, at least based on what Assimil has taught me. Assuming "je m'enseigne" isn't something correct that I picked up n'importe où, I bet it was a guess based intuitively off of Yiddish, where the way to say "to learn" is to make the verb "to teach" reflexive (and the verb "to teach" is close cognate to the German verb "to learn," making the whole business extra crazy complicated to keep straight). And for our viewers at home, this little discussion we've been having here is a nice illustration of why you can't obsess about getting everything absolutely perfect BEFORE you start using a language actively. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Looking at this a day later, two things jump out at me: I definitely didn't mean "angreifen." Probably what I meant was "zugreifen auf..." And "ausgerechnet" was wrong, too. I meant something like "ausgenommen." I was going for the opposite of "eingerechnet," but apparently that instinct was wrong in this case. There may be some errors in word order and endings, but nothing that I can both immediately identify and provide a definite fix. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Mein heutiges Schreibstück werde ich zuerst mit Papier und Tinte schreiben, und nur danach in einem Blogpost verwandeln. Ich nehme dafür ein bisschen mehr Zeit, aber überhaupt nicht so viel wie man bei einer Prüfung wie dem TestDaF erlaubt wäre. Es ist mir heute schon wieder klar geworden, dass ich bei meiner Arbeit wegen des Deutschen Grammatiks noch viel zu tun habe. Ich bin ziemlich weit forgeschritten gegenüber meinen vorherigen Fähigkeiten und Kentnissen, aber die Grundarbeit habe ich noch nicht zum Schluss gebracht.

FWIW, I don't think lang-8 is working that great for German learners. I didn't get any corrections there for my last few entries, and when I posted the text I just wrote here, I saw that the last 15 German entries by other people also hadn't gotten any corrections, and at least one of the entries was by someone complaining about not getting any corrections. At least there appear to be French corrections coming in for people, and Dutch, too.

Yeah, I usually get my French corrected on the same day I post it. Shame to hear it doesn't work so well for some other languages. Edited by tastyonions on 22 January 2013 at 7:54pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Well, lang-8 is also a pretty good TOOL. Finding the people can be up to you. There are probably very few Germans there who're asking for corrections in English, but you never know. Maybe some old people or university students who need to work on advanced subtleties. Is it even possible to choose Yiddish as your entry's language, btw? Maybe some people actually post in it but have to tag it as German. Try to find some Germans learning Yiddish maybe.

Perhaps, though I was surprised to find that Dutch entries were getting far more attention than German entries, because what you said above should go double for Dutch, no? 1 person has voted this message useful |
