Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?

Default German slang

I want to learn some German slang, preferably northern Germany (Berlin). So hopefully some native speakers or anyone who knows some can give me a few.

as a native I could teach you almost anyone except the allemannic dialects, but if you think berlin is northern and not eastern you need to improve your knowledge before you could start learning something above beginner level. and as some part of the british ethnicity mix is anglo-saxon and frisian, a dialect from northern germany might lead to a language that is very similar to english ..

I thought Frisian was similar to old english and there for nothing like modern english.

which type of frisian do you mean: frasch, fering, north-, west- or eastfrisian? and you probably were talking about old frisian and old english, but frisian is spoken at the western coast of germany, the northern part has much more dialects ..

Haha I guess it would be eastern then. Ok how about we take out the northern part and just leave it as Berlin. Luckily I am still in the beginning stages of German. My previous teachers really didn't stress all the different dialects so far. They have just differentiated between Northern and Bavarian. So how about throwing some Berliner slang at me or any other helpful words.

According to the article there are hardly any frisian speakers outside of the Netherlands. 350.000 in the netherlands and 12.000 in denmark and germany combined. Are those dialects considered frisian? Also none of them seem anything like (modern) english.

I know west frisian which is the bulk, is nothing like English, it's slowly becoming dutch.

don´t mix up the posts, you asked for frisian and I linked frisian. my original statement was that northern german dialects are close to english. no wonder no one speaks frisian then.

don´t let your strongest perception fool your logic ..

If you wan't slang, learn japanese. That language got so many dialects and so much slang its rediculous. German slang just sounds a-social and scruffy. German should be spoken as it is meant.

Thanks, BSK. Here I was thinking that learning a language and learning geography were completely independent!

If I learn all the state capitols maybe I can move onto verb conjugation! I can't wait.

Yeah man, if I go to new york I'll fit right in by saying "Oi lad, bootiful day init? Fancy a cup of tea? Wanna go on the piss tonight? " I mean they speak English so it must be the same.

Two different things are being talked about here. BSK was suggesting that knowing where cities were located was somehow related to studying German. It isn't. It's pretty natural for people to learn a lot about a country as they progress in a language, so...unless someone studied German to fluency and doesn't know a thing about Germany, it's not an issue. As for what you're saying: As long as you know a standard version of the language, then it doesn't matter what specific accent you speak with. If some non-native English speaker went to Buttfuck, Scotland and learned some strongly-accented form of English...that'd be strange, but hey, English is English.

will you guys ever stop this bullshit and quote the post from RIGHT above yours? useless redundancy, start to learn how to lead a conversation ..

and this thread is not about learning german. it´s about learning german slang and dialects. guess what, dialects are related to geography, just like skandinavian languages are found in skandinavia. you can´t compare american english dialects with a 200 years history to a culture that carved his weapons and plows into european ground for thousands of years. and if you don´t even know where the capitol city of this culture is located you are too far away from the level of learning a dialect ..

There are like 20 posts in this thread. If you quote who you are talking to, then it makes things simpler. Why the fuck are you complaining anyways? It's not like anyone is quoting several paragraphs for no reason here. Does the stupid bullshit from you ever stop?

I would not recommend learning English from a Scotsman, I wouldn't even recommend learning English from a Northerner. Learn it from an international school with an American accent, or from a school in London with a southern accent or a whole lot of people are gonna laugh at you when you come out with "Aye laddie, wha's t'weather leek this marnin?" I guarentee anyone outside of Scotland would find it incredibly hard to the point of failure to understand a man from Northern Scotland.

If someone learned a really colloquial, uncommon form of English (no matter what country its from), I agree, that's silly. Learning English in Scotland however, is fine. Schools always teach as neutral a form of a language as possible, and Scottish accents are no more strange than the accents you can find in England. Are you really trying to generalize all Scots as sounding like farmboys or Spud from Trainspotting? That's like me saying that all people from England talk like Chavs.

On a related note:I know a French Canadian that learned English in New Zealand and has an interesting Quebecois-New Zealand hybrid accent. It isn't a problem, and her speech wouldn't get made fun of any more than someone would make fun of a native New Zealander's.

I'm talking about heavy accent, most English people cannot understand a man from a rural northern part of Scotland, the point I was making was that you may aswell go for the most neutral choices if you're going to learn a language. If you combine lets say an eastern European accent with learning a thick Scottish accent you have got no chance in hell of being understood by the majority of the English speaking world.

I'm not generalising. However, I would go as far to say that the majority of teenage accents in Britain do sound distinctly Chavish by the way.
