안녕하세요! Today we have a short lesson about a useful structure that’s used for talking about what doing an action requires: -는 데(에). Let’s start!
-는 데(에) is used for talking about what it takes to do an action. This will become clearer in the examples, but let’s start with a formula:
[verb stem] + 는 데(에)
The -에 is optional.
This is not to be confused with -ㄴ/은/는데, which does NOT have a space between -ㄴ/은/는 and 데!
Here are some examples:
커피를 한 잔 사는 데에 천원이에요. = It is 1,000 won to buy a cup of coffee.
This example talk about what it takes to do the action of buying a cup of coffee, which is 1,000 won.
떡볶이 만드는 데에 떡고 고추장이 필요해요. = In making tteokbokki, you need rice cakes and red chili paste.
When the verb stem ends in ㄹ, drop the ㄹ!
한국어를 배우는 데에 매일 연습해야 돼요. = You have to practice everyday when learning Korean.
This example talk about what you need to do to learn Korean, which is practice everyday. Notice how you can say you need to do an action or you need a noun when using this structure!
에쎄이를 쓰는 데에 일단 주제에 대한 연구해야 돼요. = In writing an essay, you first have to do research on your topic.
That’s about it for this lesson – I hope it was helpful! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions :) 다음에 또 봐요!
This directly translates to “I love you”. However, you wouldn’t say that to someone you like.It’s okay to say Ich liebe dich to someone you are close to. For example: your significant other. Saying Ich liebe dich shows that you trust them.
,,Ich hab’ dich lieb/ Ich habe dich lieb”
Is an innocent way to tell that you love someone. You’d use this when talking to a friend or parent. It directly translates to “I have love for you”. However, some native speakers might explain it as someone being a part of all the love they have. You can also use this phrase when you are not quite ready to tell your crush about the feelings you have for them.
,,Ich mag dich”
Directly translates to “I like you”. You’d use this in a more platonic context. It’s sometimes used as a way to indicate romantic interest.
Example: “We share the same humour, Ich mag dich.”
,,Ich habe mich in dich verliebt.”
Translates to something like “I have fallen in love with you.” You’d use this when you are 100% sure about your feelings. It shows that the “process” of falling in love is complete. If you are in the middle of falling in love, you’d use ,,Ich bin in dich verliebt.” (=I am falling in love with you”)
I came across this sitewhich teaches you the alphabet for over 40 languages, with audio and it even lets you test yourself afterwards The site format is super simple and did I mention the 40+ languages!
The biggest struggle of learning vocab is that you remember the most outrageous shit, like “ghost” or the century old word for “king”, but keep forgetting the word for an everyday item like “pencil”.
So you’ve probably noticed I’ve been offline for some days…
Well, I just moved to a new flat with my boyfriend and it’s taking incredible amounts of time to set everything up (and, anyway, until last Saturday we didn’t even have internet…)

Wir sind zum Mond geflogen We flew to the moon Haben Pyramiden gebaut Buit piramids, Haben nie die Neugier verloren Never lost the curiosity Und sind durch Meere getaucht And dived trhough the seas Wir haben Tränen vergossen We shed tears Wir haben gelacht und geweint We laughed and cried Wir haben Frieden geschlossen We lost friends Und uns wiedervereint And reunited
Doch alle diese Dinge sind zu klein Still all these things are so small Denn das Größte was wir können Because the biggest thing we can do Ist Mensch zu sein Is being human
Und wir gehen den Weg von hier And we go the way from here Seite an Seite ein Leben lang Side by side, a lifetime Für immer Forever
Denn wir gehen den Weg von hier Because we go the way from here Weiter und weiter ein Leben lang Go on and on, a lifetime Für immer Forever
Wir haben Welten entdeckt We discovered worlds Die wir vorher nicht kannten That we didn’t know before Wir haben sprechen gelernt We learnt to speak Und uns Liebe gestanden And been in love Wir haben Lieder geschrieben We wrote songs Wir haben getanzt und gesungen We danced and sang Wir haben Geister gerufen und Dämonen bezwungen We called spirits and defeated demons Es ist nicht immer einfach zu verzeihen It is not always easy to forgive Doch das Größte das wir können But the biggest thing we can do Ist Mensch zu sein Is being human
Und wir gehen den Weg von hier And we go the way from here Seite an Seite ein Leben lang Side by side, a lifetime Für immer Forever
Denn wir gehen den Weg von hier Because we go the way from here Weiter und weiter ein Leben lang Go on and on, a lifetime Für immer Forever
Wir sind sicher nicht perfekt We surely aren’t perfect Doch wer will das schon sein But who wants to be? Wir haben alle kleine Fehler We all have small flaws Und sind damit nicht allein And we aren’t alone Nicht allein, nicht allein Not alone, not alone
Und wir gehen den Weg von hier And we go the way from here Seite an Seite ein Leben lang Side by side, a lifetime Für immer Forever

Flewent- translates a certain % of your article in your target language ReadLang - translates the words you click on and adds them to a flashcards deck Linguarana - same as ReadLang but it also translates expressions
Read as much as possible daily. Try to set a certain amount of pages daily/weekly.
When you listen to music, find the lyrics and follow the singers while they’re singing.
Use wattpad if you like fanfiction. The site/app allows you to receive stories in a certain language if you look at the settings. Bonus:if you add the story to the library, you can read offline on your phone.
When you watch movies, find subs in your target language; regardless the language of the movie.
Find an app/site with manga. Many apps/sites have a pretty large selection when it comes to languages and if you are a fast reader, you can read quite a lot in 10-15 minutes. Bonus:many apps allow you to read offline.
Beelinguapp is an app with fairytales in different languages. It’s pretty useful for beginners or for people who don’t feel confident enough to try something else.
Use audiobooks. If you want and have time, try reading the book at the same time. If you listen and read at the same time, you have more chances to remember the words and their spelling, pronunciation.
Choose a song in your target language. Read the lyrics and their translation once or twice. Then sing the song trying to remember the lyrics. Optional: listen to the song with the lyrics. I wouldn’t really recommend this because you might focus too much on the spelling and less on the pronunciation at some point.
Many movies and videos. It will be frustrating at first but after a while, you will get used to it and focus on what you know so you can guess what’s the meaning of what you don’t know.
Try using audiocourse or courses that focus a lot on interaction and listening like Pimsleur.
Use apps like HelloTalk, Tandem, Skype, the audio messages on Facebook etc. if you want to practice with natives.
When you learn vocabulary, try to find the pronunciation on Forvo or just choose resources with audio.
Apps/Sites like 50languages, awabe, duolingo, memrise, busuu, babbel, lingodeer etc. have audio for most of their languages so they are worth your time.
Change the speed of the videos you are watching. Youtube has such a setting.
Writing
Read a lot. When you read you pay attention to what kind of structures are used in a text and the more you read, the more you get a “feeling” if the spelling of a word is right or if the strutcure makes any sense. If i ask an advanced learner why they write “i think of” they won’t be able to explain why “of” is there and not something else but they will know at any time that it’s a construction that need to be like that.
I don’t care how many people speak it. I don’t care if it’s already a dead language and only those who study it in uni will properly understand it. I don’t even care if it’s a fictional language.
You want to learn a new language? GO FOR IT.
And don’t let bigots convince you that it is useless. Because IT IS NOT.

Keiner weiß, wies dir geht. Nobody knows how are you Keiner da, der dich versteht. Nobody here who understands you Der Tag war dunkel, und allein. The day was dark and lonely. Du schreibst Hilfe, mit deinem Blut. You write help with your blood. Obwohl es immer wieder wehtut. Although it hurts again and again. Du macht’s die Augen auf, und alles bleibt gleich. You open your eyes and everything stays the same.
Ich will nicht stören, und ich will auch nicht zu lange bleiben. I don’t want to disturb, and I don’t want to stay for too long neither. Ich bin nur hier um dir, zu sagen. I’m here only to say to you
Ich bin da, wenn du willst. I am here, if you want Schau dich um, dann siehst du mich. Look around then you’ll see me Ganz egal, wo du bist. No matter where you are Wenn du nach mir greifst, dann halt ich dich. When you reach for me, I hold you.
Dein Leben sinnent leert, deine Schatten tonnenschwer. Your life is meaningless, your soul is tons heavy. Und alles was du jetzt braucht’s, hast du nicht. And everything that you need, you don’t have it. Du sucht’s den Regenbogen. You look for the rainbow, Es liegt tot vor dir, am Boden. It lays dead in front of you, in the ground. Er hat solang es ging gestrahlt, nur für dich. He beamed as long as he could, just for you.
Ich will nicht stören, und ich will auch nicht zu lange bleiben. I don’t want to disturb, and I don’t want to stay for too long neither. Ich bin nur hier um dir, zu sagen. I’m here only to say to you
Wenn du die Welt nicht mehr verstehst, When you don’t understand the world anymore, Und jeder Tag im Nichts vergeht. And every day turns to nothing Wenn sich der Sturm nicht mehr legt, If the storm doesn’t stop Und du die Nacht nicht mehr erträgst. And you don’t tolerate the night anymore Ich bin da wenn du willst, ganz egal wo du bist. I am here if you want to, no matter where you are.
An deiner Seite, nur eine Weile. By your side, only a while
Ich bin da, I am here, Ich bin da, wenn du willst. I am here if you want to. Ich bin da, ganz egal wo du bist. I am here, no matter where you are. Ich bin da, schau in dich rein dann siehst du mich.

I ch bin da wenn du willst, ganz egal wo du bist. I am here if you want to, no matter where you are.
