Hallo! Guten Tag! Ich male gern.
So, recently, I've decided to learn German. I'm doing fairly well on Duolingo and reading German Short Stories on KU but I also want to be able to ask questions to a real person. My biggest weakness is grammar and knowing when to put things in what order in a sentence. Or when to use certain phrases. For instance, what is the difference between "Sind Sie ___?" and "Bist du ___?" ("Are you ___?"). Is it simply formality? Does it change based on who you are asking or the thing you are asking them? I asked this question in a few of the learning German groups I'm in on FB but the mods haven't approved my questions and I'm kinda tired of waiting for answers on that.
So! I thought I would ask here if there's anyone who knows how to speak and write in German who would like to be a chat buddy on Discord with me? I just want to be able to approach someone one on one who can tell me simple things, like the difference in phrasing and why you might say "schwimmt" "schwimme" or "schwimmst" at different times. Because Duolingo is great for me memorizing specific phrases but not in explaining why the usage changes for certain circumstances.
And really, I'd just like to have a buddy that I can practice on. I promise, it'll be amusing and cringey as I stumble through trying to think of the right words to impart what I am trying to say. You might get a kick out of it.
Ich bin sehr aufregend! Hoffe, bald jemanden zu finden!
