Eh, it's pretty easy. You just need to get used to the word order. |

I know some Italian. Once I am in high school, I am taking an Italian class. I was using a translator. I feel terrible. But I did learn alot of new words. |

Well, German, like most European languages, has similar vocabulary to us. However, there is one thing that they have distinct from use : Conjugations.
Conjugations are the building blocks of the languages west of the Caucuses. In English, we tell what happened by word order. For instance:
Joe hit Seth.
You can see Joe is the one who hit because he is in the first part of the sentence -- the Subject. You can also see that Seth was receiving the action because he was at the predicate.
In german however, you tell who did what through the way the verb sounds. Now, if you plug "Hans hit Adolf" into the translator, you get:
Hanser Adolf Hit
See, the German word for hit it "hit". Since Hans hit Adolf, it gets the nominative ("The action noun) ending of er. Adolf becomes accusative, and hit goes to the end of the sentence. |
|
|
English is a Germanic language so it is easier to learn the sentence structure. |
