I´m open to your suggestions (as long as they are not too individual) and will try to satisfy your needs. If you have any wishes or needs of topics that should be treated here, please don´t hesitate to contact me via a comment field. For being a passionate videographer I´m trying to do this more and more by videos. So now my (second) job is to feed you with information, exercises, vocabulary, grammar and stories about Germany and German language. A few months later the whole blogging thing came up and I was lucky to be a part of it. I just had a break from work and by coincidence I produced some cultural videos in French. I first got in touch with Transparent Language when my family and I used to live in France a couple of years ago. For example learning languages! And that´s where we are at the moment. But that´s one of the main reasons why nowadays there are quasi no more limits in the internet and so it can be used for all imaginable types of things. Whereat today almost every school kid does. This is my job since over a decade so I´m quite familiar with the web and its tools. My profession is being a project manager at a company that creates digital media (first of all internet related things). My name is Jan and I live in the south west of Germany. But anyway, use the comment fields to practice and share your solutions!

I guess the exercises are pretty simple, that´s why I will spare the solution. Ich beeilte mich weil ich möglichst pünktlich nach Hause kommen wollte.ĭie Sportlehrerin die uns begleiten sollte zählte alle noch einmal durch.ĭas Gepäck das wir am Hoftor gestapelt hatten lag den anderen im Weg. Sie war einverstanden und wollte nur dass ich um 6 wieder nach Hause komme.Īls ich auf die Uhr sah war es schon 5 vor 6. Ich fragte meine Mutter ob ich gehen könne. Try to set the missing commas… (And try to translate, if you want!)Īuf der Wiese grasen vier Kühe zwei Pferde sechs Schafe drei Lamas und eine Ziege.ĭer Regen prasselte der Wind pfiff durch die Ritzen ein Blitz schlug in der Nähe ein und der Donner krachte ohrenbetäubend. (According to my opinion, dogs and cats should play cat-and-mouse together.) Meiner Meinung nach sollten Hunde und Katzen zusammen Katz-und-Maus spielen. (Fortunately, my dog likes cats and vice versa.) Glücklicherweise mag mein Hund Katzen und umgekehrt. …after adverbial phrases at the beginning of a sentence (My dog, my cat and I are going to the veterinarian on Friday.)ĥ. Mein Hund, meine Katze und ich gehen am Freitag zum Tierarzt. … in listings (but not in front of “und” and “oder”) (My dog, a brown dachshund, is scared only of the mailman.)Ĥ. Mein Hund, ein brauner Dackel, hat nur Angst vor dem Postboten. (She is quite lazy, though once a week she goes hunting for mice.) Sie ist ziemlich faul, doch einmal in der Woche geht sie auf die Jagd nach Mäusen. …in front of sentences or parts of sentences with “aber”, “jedoch”, “doch”, “sondern” (My dog sleeps next to the spot where my cat sleeps.)Ģ.

Mein Hund schläft neben dem Platz, an dem meine Katze schläft. (The food that my dog likes most is available in the supermarket.) (When my animals are sad, I don’t go.)ĭas Futter, das mein Hund am liebsten frisst, gibt es im Supermarkt. Wenn meine Tiere traurig sind, gehe ich nicht. – in front of subordinating conjunctions (“dass”, “weil”, etc.) Hopefully you will use them more successful than me 🙂 For being a lazy comma user myself, I will try to show you the most important comma rules in German.
