Hello lemmites! I decided that a great way to get some use out of this community while it gathers steam is to have a mega thread where people can simply come and practice their German with people on similar skill levels. If you're a more fluent speaker, and see any mistakes in someone else's sentences, feel free to correct them and possibly explain why.

I'm thinking how it'll go is I'll have a prompt for the week that you can answer and I'll try to reply to you, or you can totally ask your own question, or just comment about whatever is going on in your life, or going through your head.

I'll get the ball rolling: Was ist deine Lieblingsstadt in Deutschland? Warum?

Meine Lieblingsstadt in Deutschland ist Düsseldorf, weil meine Familie von dort stammt.

 

Hey there everybody, I'm DVD.

I came to the Fediverse/Lemmy recently after the mass exodus from, competitors, like I'm sure many of you have.

I've been knees deep in learning the German Language since October, and I wanted a community to help myself and others along in this process of language learning, which I noticed Lemmy lacked, so I created c/German.

I should preface this community by saying that I am probably the least qualified person to run a community such as this. I would probably fail the Goethe B1 Exam for German, and I have never moderated any community before, not on Lemmy nor its competitors.

But, I saw the need for a place like this, and I stepped up to the plate. If you are seeing this and are interested, feel free to join. If the place isn't quite as lively as you thought it would be, try creating a post or commenting on some existing ones. I promise to work on community engagement as this place (hopefully) grows.

With that being said, also message me if you are interested in any moderator roles. I will gladly accept others who are willing to make sure this community stays on track, and remains toxic-free.
