Chat forums for practicing German language

[rajneesh 0]

Is there some specific forum to excercise German language? Maybe from Germans themselves? Or any existing thread on this site?

Toytown Germany

Germany's English-speaking crowd

 

Humm.. Nope, I don't think so...

[Keydeck 9,248]

Well the English-speaking crowd would be the ones who most need to practice their German.

 

There's nothing on this site, but just go to any German forum and ask a few questions about something. That's your practice right there.

[Timmeh 828]

Tis not a bad idea though. It'd be cool to have a thread here on TT where peeps can practice their German. I reckon I would.

[Guest]

Isn't there a website in England for German ex-pats? I can't find the link. That'd be a cool one to log on to! Find out what they moan about!

 

Oooh, I found it: www.deutsche-in-london.net/forum

[HelterSkelter 30]

Well, there is the translation forum...

[Panama 26]

There is no part in TT where you can write in german, but more or less every two weeks or whenever there is the german stammtisch which is just going out for drinks or eating and all conversation goes on in german. That may be something that could be of interest to you.

 

It just seems that there isn't any planned in the near future, but just stay aware for the next one.

what, you mean so people can learn each other's mistakes? ehem, sorry, I mean learn FROM each other's mistakes?

 

i really don't think a German language thread or sub-forum would work on TT. The first person to write something incorrect would be ripped to shreds by the TT spelling and grammar police thus killing anyone else's desire to post.

You missed a capital "I" there, O.G..

[Timmeh 828]

I dunno, if it's a thread to help people learn, I don't think it'd come across as very cool if the posters are ripped to shreds for trying to learn, I reckon it'll just make the person doing the ripping look like a cock (or more of a cock than they already are)

[Eleanor Rigby 1,934]

Yeah, I was about to pipe up that I thought it would be a great idea as well but on second thought I think maybe you're right.

 

Too many pedants on this forum

 

EDIT: it might work as a subscribe only type forum though where people get kicked out if they act like twats.

For practising German you could try to find someone on MSN, I think it´s a nice possibility to practise a language, I do this as well to practise my English and Spanish. I can add you if you like :D

[interplanetjanet 177]

Best way to practice your German is by buying and selling on ebay.de - especially when you end up having to argue with people via email.

Oh my god,I thought all of the members with German locations were actually real germans that speak really good english,but you are english persons just living in germany?

Now,that explains why the rule on this forum is English only. I was confussed why germans wanted only the english language,now I understand kays reactment to my first post,lol.

 

Back to topic.For the Original poster, I am a member of a German Titanic forum full of real germans that speak the german language (they also speak english if need too) That might help you're request.

Ah, the penny finally drops.

 

Also perhaps take a look at the Forum Usage Guidelines:

 

TT is not a language school

 

All fluent native-standard English-speakers who live in Germany are welcome to join the forum. If your ability at English is weak, or you don't live in Germany (and have never lived in Germany or never plan to move to Germany) then sorry, this forum is not for you. The forum is not intended to be an English language practice school for Germans or anyone else.
