Cómo construir frases en ALEMÁN desde CERO

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Today I'm going to tell you a little more about how you can get started with German, because many of you, I know, are starting from scratch and are saying, "How can I make my first sentence?" Uh, they're talking to me, but I don't understand. They talk to me, but I don't know how to react, do I? So that's what I'm going to tell you today and how we're going to take that first step, okay? Our lesson today is titled how to make your first sentences in German, even if you don't know anything. In other words, if we have people here who say, "Hey, I don't know anything, I'm not going to be able to follow the class." Don't worry, that's what it's made for. Okay? It's a very simple class, it's going to be very short, you know, so you can see that with just a little bit of time, but very little, you're going to make a lot of progress. Imagine if you do this little bit every day, where will you be in a year? This is the question and the key, isn't it?

[00:00:52]Ah, right, I have to put it through here.

[00:00:55]Okay, [sighs] first of all, I know that in every live stream someone says to me, "Hey, I was just scrolling through YouTube and you popped up. Who are you?

[00:01:04]What are you doing here? What are you telling us?" Well, first of all, uh, I'm Andrea, let me introduce myself.

[00:01:09]I'm from Madrid and I've been in Switzerland for 12 years. It says here, but no, I've been here for 13.

[00:01:14]And 6 years ago I started teaching German to Spanish speakers.

[00:01:20]I founded an academy because at first I was doing it all myself, but there came a point where I needed more help because there were a lot of people who needed a little support in Spanish when learning German. So I founded an academy here in Zich and all the teachers try to have a practical and approachable method.

[00:01:42]And I always tell you this, I wasn't born bilingual because a lot of people say, "Oh, you're Swiss." Well, I'm almost Swiss, but that's because of the years I've lived here, not because I was born here. So, I know how hard it is to learn... German, because it happened to me that I started learning German when I was 19, and it took years to reach C2 level. I mean, it wasn't like I just arrived here, already knowing a ton of German and having no problems, right? I arrived here with a barely passing A2 level, which, as you know, is difficult in practice. So that's why I decided to dedicate myself to this, and to this day, well, you know I do nothing but think about how else I can help, how else I can help. And here we are.

[00:02:35]First of all, many people tell me that the problem isn't—I mean, that the problem is German itself, right? And I'm not saying the problem is German itself; the problem is that you don't know how to construct sentences, right? You tell me, "I just do n't know how to make this sentence." Look, German has a structure, and that's both good and bad. German has many rules that can be followed. You shouldn't think in terms of isolated words. Don't study lists of Do n't just memorize vocabulary like that; always try to learn structures. For example, if the topic is doctors, it will always be "this hurts," "that hurts."

[00:03:18]So, it will always be the same phrases, and those patterns repeat. And that's what you have to try to do when you learn German.

[00:03:29]Today we're going to learn three things: how to construct sentences, how German works, and how to get started even if you're a beginner. I'm going to tell you at the very end— stay until the end—how to start this week. Someone here says, "Zora, this was Zoraida's question."

[00:03:52]My son Alexi wants to enroll in the course; he knows a little German. At what level can you start?

[00:03:57]Well, here's the great thing about the community: it doesn't matter what level you have because we have access to everything. So, there in the community you can learn from A1 to B1 for the time being, okay?

[00:04:12]So it doesn't matter if he's in A2 because he can see the previous one and the one about not having to choose just one level, you have access to everything there is.

[00:04:21]Remember that I also gave you access to guides, and by the way, there will soon be another one, learning guides. Uh, now when you ask me, I know you ask me a lot about exams, we are working in that direction as well. So, when he comes in, he can see what he's interested in learning, where he wants to pick things up again, because he can see the topics. So, the good thing is that you can also take a level test, of course, but I recommend that you look at the title of each of the topics or watch the videos, and say here, okay? So, Alexi, if you want to learn German in a way that I think is quite enjoyable, stay for this first class and then you'll see how the community works.

[00:05:07]First of all, I want to start by telling you that the basis of German is going to be this and you have to remember it because I know that in Spanish we are a little more flexible when it comes to saying words. In other words, we can start a sentence with the subject, omit the subject, which is what we usually do in Spanish, and then say a complement. In German, remember that we have to make this structure. If you don't know Spanish grammar, which I know many people say, "I don't remember what a subject means," don't worry, I always repeat everything in Spanish too. The subject is the one who does the action, the verb is the action that is done, and the complement will depend on the verb we have. For example, if I say ich de ich, I am going to give you the pronouns, learn study, deut German. [snort] So I can't say I'm learning German in German, no. I can't eat this child.

[00:06:10]I can't say "like in Spanish, I'm learning German, larm de" because the other person is going to say "there" to me. Who?

[00:06:19]I have to say who always. If it's you, then I'm going to say do learns, of the verb there it is, the subject, there it is, the complement, there it is. We have to say it always. So, this is super important in German, that I can't eat that subject, I can't not say who I'm talking about. Think of a sentence in Spanish.

[00:06:41]Tomorrow we're going to the park. I don't have to say who, but in German I just have to say Morgan and that's it. Where am I going? In the Park. The same thing happens.

[00:07:06]Today I work on one hand, I had a language and it's a temporary complement. That's why I say complement here because it can be an accusative of something, it can be a time complement, it can be a manner complement, how? So I'm leaving an addendum. And here comes the key, or let's say the most important rule, when we start learning German, especially when we see a lot of words and a lot of phrases and we don't yet understand what they mean. At the moment, I know that the conjugated verb will go in position two, so when I have this sentence, I know that the second word or the second position is the verb. So, I said before that "arbite" means to work.

[00:07:59]Well, referee is in second position. But here I'm not going to be as strict as I was on the first slide. I'm not saying that the subject has to be in the first position, it's that the subject can move. In German I can say arite ich, that is, the verb is the one that does not go to this time complement that we have said meant today, today it can go to the first position. In fact, many of you here, who already have classes with me, know what tecamolo means, right? I'm not going to explain it today, but who knows what tecamolo is? Tell me via chat.

[00:08:43]By the way, if you want to write to me in the chat and it won't let you, which you've sometimes told me after the live stream, I think you have to start your session on YouTube and then subscribe to the channel so you can write, I think.

[00:09:01]My question was this: can you say the ho in the first position and the ich in the third? Yes. And that's called it. Who tells me that I'm samo? It sounds Japanese, but it isn't Japanese.

[00:09:14][snort] Who knows?

[00:09:17]It is precisely this rule that I can move the hoite, but I cannot move the arbaite.

[00:09:24]Te camolo. Very good, Carmen. Temporal, causal, modal. Well, I'm missing one. T is going to be about the storm, the weather. C of the cause, of the causal. the way of the way and the place. In other words, we would be answering when, why, how, and where. That would be the structure they are telling us would be the most correct in German. But this tecamolo thing is a recommendation, not a rule. The rule is that the verb goes in second position, so I can have a context in which I want to say the place first and that's correct, but I can't have a context in which the conjugated verb in a simple sentence goes to another position. Burn this into your memory.

[00:10:22]Now, when I talk to you about German, I always like to compare it to Spanish. Spanish is much more flexible in terms of structures. I can have a phrase that I say tomorrow I'm coming with my mother or I'm coming tomorrow with my mother or I'm coming with my mother tomorrow. They all sound halfway decent to me, or I'll come tomorrow with my mother. But in German we need those structures. Remember that it is a language of structures.

[00:10:58]So let's always try not to get confused.

[00:11:02]First of all, the subject is always present, I always have to say who does the action, that is, ich, do, er, yo, tú, el and the conjugated verb in second position.

[00:11:16]This means that German functions like a formula. Today, or maybe yesterday, I was talking to someone in the community, and they were saying, "Oh, I get stressed because when you talk about grammar, well, no, I was an old-school teacher, um, I don't really feel like I remember much of it from school. I went into science, and now, remembering this... well, good news for science students because German works like a formula, I mean, it's pure math.

[00:11:47]There are things that will always be repeated.

[00:11:49]So, at first, this is a pain because you tell me, 'Wow, German has so many rules, but the rules are great because once you learn them, they'll always be repeated.'" The problem with languages ​​is when they have exceptions.

[00:12:04]What is a hide?

[00:12:06][snort] Excuse me, spring allergies. When a language has exceptions, it becomes difficult to understand. Because when you learn a language like English, we say, "This is how it is because it is," but here it is also because it is.

[00:12:20]In German, we will have few exceptions; we will have more rules than exceptions. So, remember that German works like a formula. If I have 1 + 1, it's always 2. Okay.

[00:12:39]Okay, today I want you to also take away some important verbs, and we're going to work a little with them in relation to what I'm telling you.

[00:12:51]Many times you come to me and say, "I want to know all the verbs in 'aú' and write them down like this, copying them so I can repeat them." Well, yes, repetition is very good, but not a translation like, "I'm going to learn how to say ' work,' 'work,' 'arbitrom,' ' learn,' 'learning,' no, in my opinion it's much better if you do what I call 'emergency phrases' in my classes. When I learn an emergency phrase, I always have that phrase ready, like I say, ' arbitrom,' followed by the name of my company.

[00:13:32]So, I'm not just learning the verb 'arbitrom,' but I 'm also relating it to my company, so I already know it's going to be the verb ' work.' And above all, I'm also going to learn that very important preposition that the verb 'arbitrom' takes, which is 'by.'

[00:13:49]In this way, with this learning approach, we're learning much faster than if I just take a list of verbs and memorize them. Today I'm bringing you four verbs that you're going to use today, that is, you're going to learn them with your examples, and with these four verbs you can talk about millions of things.

[00:14:12]It's like a set of verbs..." Okay, we don't need to learn 20 verbs today. With four, you can talk about a million things. So, first of all, well, welcome to those who are joining now, welcome! The verb "sign," this verb that, for us, the truth is, switching from Spanish to German is easier than from German to Spanish. When a German learns Spanish—I taught Spanish before I taught German here in Turin— the difference is very difficult. "Sign" means to be or to exist, but for us it's much easier. If I want to say "I am," " ich bin" is much easier for us, and it's going to be very useful. Furthermore, as we'll see, or as you'll see in the community, the verb "sign" will also serve as an auxiliary verb for the past tense, meaning it's a verb we're going to use extensively. It's very similar with "haven." "Haven" means to have, but it will also be an auxiliary verb when we use it in combination with the past perfect, so these two will also be... Verbs are super important. Oh, Jesus, " learn," what we're doing today, not "aprender" (to learn). Be careful here, because many times you want to tell me "de" (of) and I ask about German at university and you say, "No, no, I learn at an academy." Be careful, "learn" is the verb we use to say that we are learning German. "Estudiran" is only for university, that is, when we are doing university studies.

[00:16:02]And finally, "magen." "Magen" means to do or make. So, "hacer" (to do/make) means we can do everything. We can do homework, we can do sports, we can make food, we can do a million things. So we can ask others, "What are you doing today?"

[00:16:17]No. So, these four verbs are fundamental. I'm going to teach you how to conjugate them. You're going to help me conjugate one of them and we're going to practice. Are you ready? By the way, I know you're all paying close attention. Are you ready? Tell me with an emoji how ready you are for this, because I also need a little motivation as a teacher. Remember, I'm a blackboard teacher. And I need to hear my students. So, the way I'm listening to you here is through the chat. So, are you ready for the next part of the class?

[00:16:56]Good, Valentina.

[00:17:00]Who else is ready? Only Valentina.

[00:17:02]Evely, Evely [laughs].

[00:17:07]Veray, Jesús, Super Aducena, Mariluz, Penalope, Tanger. So, let's continue with the verb "sign." As I was saying, the verb "sign" means two things for now: " ser" and "estar." I say "for now" because later it will also be used in the past tense, right? Like "I have eaten," but we're not going to look at that today. Today we're going to focus on "ser" and "estar." " Ib," I am. So, it's an irregular verb, as we can see here, right? "Sign" has become "bin."

[00:17:52]Where does that "b" come from? Well, the verb "sign" is irregular, and we don't have to memorize it. I hate saying we have to memorize things; we should learn things through practice. So, after this class, I'm going to send you... Homework: write your emergency phrases, not just with "ich," but with all persons. Use " bin" and whatever you are, for example, your profession. Use "do beast" and a nice adjective for your partner, if you have one, and "is" and think about what your neighbor is like.

[00:18:30]And what are we or where are we?

[00:18:37]Jesus says.

[00:18:43]They are, and if you are "usted" and "ustedes" are, then it's clear to you that this verb doesn't follow a rule; it's an irregular verb. Yes, I'll give you two or three examples—sorry, Jesus took it right out of my mouth.

[00:19:10]Well, I'm not at home; I'm in my office.

[00:19:16]But if we say "I'm at home," we can change this, and instead of saying "I am," we say "do be in."

[00:19:27]Where I am. You can tell me where you are.

[00:19:31]Think of a sentence with the verb "time," it can be with any person. I'm putting it here so you can... Ah, the preposition "to house." Hm. That's right. Look, I said before, German has rules. Well, this is an exception because the preposition "su" is normally directional. towards, but in the case of "house," you have to use "to" with "house," we can't say "in house" or something like that. "To house" means at home, in my house, house, okay? And it has to be done that way. On the other hand, when I'm going home, " na huse," where "na" is normally used for directional "na," but countries or cities, that's another class, prepositions, but don't worry, I explain that in all the courses too. " Roman is bereit."

[00:20:35]Of course, he says "bright" and I say "he" or " she." Sorry, I can't see very well. " Se o del air east berit." I've already gone over and I don't say it anymore because now I'm talking about him or her. "East, Valentina is in." See? She says "bin" and I say "e" because we change that first person to a third person.

[00:21:02]Any other examples that resonate with you?

[00:21:08]Good. The verb "happen." Another fundamental verb in German. The verb "ha" is used to say that I have something, an object, for example, or I have Hunger.

[00:21:24]And have a hunger. I also have to say, I can say, but be careful because there's something here that isn't said with "have" in German and is said with "sign," which is age. I can't say, I have to say "tricare" because that's what I am. I am 30 years old.

[00:21:48]Well, I am a little older. I am 36, that is, I am 36 years old.

[00:21:58]So be careful here because this would be an exception; this isn't for age because the concept of having years is very Spanish, but in other languages, you know, in English you don't have years either, they aren't yours, they are, because you are already that age.

[00:22:16]But we can give other examples with " have," " hinke," " handire," "ich," which you have.

[00:22:50]So, what examples can we give? I'll give you a hint. Okay. "Happen," "have," I can say, I have time. "I have ich hunger." "Hungri." " Hunger." I can say it with both. If I say "hunger," then I say "hunger" as a noun. If I say "ichin hungrek," I say " hungrig" as an adjective. " Problem," I have a problem.

[00:23:30]Jesus has A gift for me, for me, says Valentina.

[00:23:36]I have my books.

[00:23:39]What, don't I? Cindy says, here's a good, a good phrase. She says, "You don't say 'I'm cold' either." That's it. You say, "It 's cold for me." "I can't say 'c' because I can't feel the cold." Okay, that's actually something I think is a bit strange in Spanish.

[00:24:01]Nan kinder kind.

[00:24:09]S.

[00:24:11]Now you're going to have to do a little more, not just make a sentence, but I'm going to teach you the conjugation of regular verbs like 'learn'. We've said that ' sign' and 'have' are irregular. They're super important, but they're irregular, meaning they can't be used as a model. We have to learn them by practicing with different sentences, but we can't use them as a model. But 'learn' itself. If we don't know the verb 'learn', which is regular, the 'regular', the 'mesic', we can use its structure to conjugate other verbs, most of them.

[00:24:50]So, here you can see that I've put in bold, I don't know if you can see it, the ending for each person, right? This also happens in Spanish. When I have a verb from the first conjugation, I always know that, for example, 'cantar' (to sing) will end in -o: yo canto, tú cantas, él canta. To play, I play, you play, he plays. That repeats itself; they are patterns. In this case, in German it will happen because we have three conjugations in Spanish, while in German they have one. So, verbs that are regular are regular.

[00:25:26]How can we conjugate them? We take " learn," which is the verb in the infinitive. We remove the infinitive ending, which would be -e and -n, and we add the present tense endings, that is, -e for the first person singular, -st for the second, -t for the third, -en which would remain the same as in the infinitive for the first person singular (we), -t for the second, -t for the third, -n which would remain the same as in the infinitive for the first person singular ( we), -t for the second, -vosotros ( you all), and -n for the third person singular and the formal ( you, formal) and (you all, formal).

[00:26:06]That is, I have l [clears throat] and yes, in capital letters, "learn." Remember, for those of you who do n't know, for those of you who have connected for the first time to a German class, in German we don't have gender in the pronouns. In Spanish we say nosotros, nosotras, vosotros, You all.

[00:26:36]We have "ellos" and "ellas." And in German, we're only going to differentiate the gender in "él" and "ella." "E" would be "él." "Sí" is "ella."

[00:26:48]Here I've put "es," which is neuter, but it would also go in the same row, let's say "er" and "sí."

[00:26:57]An example of this that you all have to learn is, okay? Because everyone here is learning, or soon you'll be saying, and we'll be saying to our classmates, "Do learn out." You're learning too because everyone here is learning "ale to."

[00:27:23]But now I don't just want you to observe, I'm going to give you a test. I don't know if you have paper or a pencil, if you're doing it with photos, if you have a great memory, but now I'm going to give you a test to see if you 've listened to me carefully.

[00:27:44]The verb "majen" is the verb "to do." I told you I was going to give you four verbs today, and this verb is also regular. So, if "learn" was regular, we conjugated it in the present tense, and now we have Maen, would you know how to conjugate it and then how to make a sentence with "magen"? " Magen" means to do, for example, " sport," I do sport.

[00:28:13]Okay, I'll give you a minute.

[00:28:16]Meanwhile, if you want, you can ask me questions in the chat and I'll answer any questions you have.

[00:28:23]Valentina says, "Hab and it doesn't let me see it."

[00:28:31]Yes, that would be in the past tense. Today we're still in the present tense, we haven't gotten to compound tenses yet, okay? Because everything I'm saying today has to do with the present tense, the position of the verb, the conjugation of regular and irregular verbs, and so on.

[00:28:48]Jesús Hidalgo is answering me here.

[00:28:50]Jesús Hidalgo isn't at a very low level because he knows his stuff, he's already answered several things for me, okay? The first person singular, be careful because it would be without an "n" would be " machen" and "machenruelia," and he simply says that coffee in German is " café" with a "k" and "f" and since it's masculine, in this case with the verb "magen," it would be a The accusative would be leeren café.

[00:29:40]Good. The important thing, Jesús, is that I understand you and that you've made yourself understood.

[00:29:43]So, perfect. Will and roll.

[00:29:49]S. That said, for those of you who may not have heard exactly how I said it, here's the conjugation of the verb magen. As you can see, the conjugation is the same as that of learn, so the verbs learnen and are regular.

[00:30:12]Some examples with these verbs would be ich de ma sport, ma house ofen, I do homework. You all have to do homework if you learn German. The cut, well, in my case I'll leave that as a secondary concern.

[00:30:29]Cindy has also written the correct conjugation of the verb imagen here. Good. Imagen house ofen. Be careful with that 'n' because I don't need it in the plural.

[00:30:43]And J Yuli tells me about hunt with a very well-done accusative, okay? Because hun is also masculine and the accusative is declined this way. Today we're not going to look at accusatives. Today we're with Veros.

[00:30:59]If you You've noticed, we've been here for 40 minutes, and well, five or ten of those have been spent uploading the slides and chatting with you all.

[00:31:11]And you don't need to know a ton, okay?

[00:31:14]I think you already know more in 30 minutes than you did 30 minutes ago. And that's kind of what I want to show you, too. You don't need to have 5-hour classes straight.

[00:31:26]You can learn a little bit every day. If you learn a little something like this every day, in a year you'll be very, very advanced. But, and this is what I tell all my students in any of the courses, you need structure, you need repetition, and you need continuity. It's no use signing up for a month, quitting, then picking it up again. No, it's better to do a little bit each day and know exactly what I have to do and how, right? One day I'll do this, no. You need a system. I'm getting tired of saying that word.

[00:32:07]A system is what makes the difference. Okay, but now, are you two or you? Uh, well, in Spanish we say "te toca do beast tran." Okay, write a sentence in the chat, okay?

[00:32:28]With something we've seen today or something new, but in the present tense, okay?

[00:32:36]Verb and Jesus Valentina, super 20 minutes every day.

[00:32:57]Jesus says, he has four brothers.

[00:33:05]Ui alien koncept dekliche is studying the German law book.

[00:33:21]You'd have to tell us why, because I'm left with a big question here.

[00:33:25]Who else wants to tell us a sentence in the present tense showing this verb conjugated in the second position? This is super important.

[00:33:37]Well, I'll leave you now. I know I'm behind.

[00:33:44]The verb is also regular, so it works the same as " arench."

[00:34:10]He says it has two e's, how do you say that in Spanish? " Wonderful goddaughters," says Evely, " I'm learning a lot of words."

[00:34:26]Jesus says, "Been al init al, why are you alone in Switzerland?" There are a lot of people, we live here, many of us. You have to speak in the groups we have.

[00:34:41]He's learning, there we have two verbs, but very good. Learn to play the piano. I have a cat.

[00:34:51]Lots of words, lots of phrases, lots of verbs. S. I'll leave you with four examples that I'm reading today.

[00:35:02]Deut. You 've taken quite a few examples.

[00:35:11]Well, you can start speaking German now. With this, you're all already making me one or two sentences in German, and that's what's important, okay? The important thing isn't having 1,000 vocabulary words—my iPad is going to die—or having 800,000 different words, right?

[00:35:35]The important thing here is taking it little by little, okay?

[00:35:41]And yes, really, you can start speaking now.

[00:35:46]I, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you. I told you, I'm going to tell you something at the end. What you're going to practice in the challenge.

[00:35:54]Those of you who know me a little know that I like to do a German challenge on WhatsApp from time to time.

[00:36:01]Why? Well, I want to show you that it is possible to put German into your routine, okay? I can't go to each of your houses and force you to... minutes, but I can send you a reminder via WhatsApp. Because everyone opens WhatsApp. I mean, opening an external application requires a little more effort, but who doesn't open WhatsApp at least once a day? I mean, those who don't have WhatsApp, right?

[00:36:32]Well, if you don't have WhatsApp, you can't participate because it's through WhatsApp, but I think most of you here have WhatsApp. So, the challenge is very simple.

[00:36:43]Every day from the 9th to the 13th—the 9th is Saturday, that's when we start—you'll receive a video with a PDF and an explanation.

[00:36:55]You have to listen to what I explain and do an exercise. It's a practical exercise, not something like fill-in-the- blank, no. It's something to start speaking, to start forming your sentences, because if one of you wants to make sentences about animals, then you'll make them about animals. And if another wants to make sentences about something else, the important thing is that you learn German in your own reality, right? So, the exercises are going to be practical and they're going to be for All levels are welcome, because I always try to offer three types of exercises. Obviously, someone at A1 or a complete beginner won't be able to write a sentence with two verbs. So, someone at a B1 level won't be able to write a one-verb sentence; they'll be able to do a more complex one, and it's free. In other words, the WhatsApp challenge is free.

[00:37:45]Everyone can participate. I don't know if you're already in the group. Are you in the WhatsApp group? In our WhatsApp community?

[00:37:51]Are you? Yes or no? What I mean by that is that you don't need to wait any longer because many people contact me every month, "Hi, I want to learn German, right?" "But in two months, because I don't have time now."

[00:38:10]Well, in two months, if you had done 10 minutes every day today, in two months you would have already progressed, maybe you'd be at the next level. The important thing isn't to do a lot every day, but a little bit every day.

[00:38:25]Yes, Valentina, I saw you in the community. I know several of you from the community are here. Valentina, Nancy, and someone else who wrote earlier that I know is in the community.

[00:38:35]Now, for those of you who aren't in it, well, I cut it a bit awkwardly, but anyway, to be able to join, because someone wrote earlier, I want to invite a friend. Okay, I'll give you a moment, take out your phone and what you have to do is scan this QR code with your mobile phone to be able to join the WhatsApp community, okay? One thing is the community where we learn German, the German community. And another thing is this free WhatsApp challenge. It doesn't cost anything to join because it's WhatsApp, okay? You scan it and you're in. Inside. So that's where you'll receive what I've told you about the challenge. A video from me with an explanation, a PDF with the explanation, an exercise you'll have to do, and notifications if there are free classes.

[00:39:25]For example, today we sent materials to class this afternoon if we have anything extra, and access to the challenge, which is live. Okay? You know that, also, from time to time, well, you see that I have a little time, I try to get online, and if you have questions, I try to answer them almost every time, so you can always write there.

[00:39:48]You know we have several groups.

[00:39:49]We have, that's what you mean, Jesús.

[00:39:52]We have one for announcements, which is the group where I'll be posting the challenge. There's a group for learning German, and another one, I think, is for topics we created so we can talk about other things. Wait, what's the third one called? I have it here. I'll tell you in a moment so I don't give you a general title; that's what we 've called it. Okay? So, I think if you scan, you'll go into the announcements group, which is where we always go. Send all the information. Then, if you want to join "Learning Together," that's where I usually do the 30 or 60 minutes of German Q&A, right? So, it's also good for you to join that group. And in general, look, just before, Jesús, you said, "I'm alone in Switzerland, right?" In that group you can write whatever you want. Let's meet up to do this. There was one week when people were writing a lot and I think they even met up to dance. That's what this group is for, so we can build a bit of community, okay? But those who don't want that, well, they can stay in the "we learn" section or even just in the " notices" section, you know, in the "notices" section only I can write. So your phone won't even be ringing 20,000 times because I'm the only one writing, and I only write once or twice a day at most.

[00:41:17]Have you understood that the problem isn't German itself, but rather the lack of a system for learning it? Because there's something that really hurts me, which is when you say, "Damn German, I hate German." And I say, "But why?" In other words, German itself isn't the problem; it's that you haven't worked with the system that's supposed to work for you.

[00:41:48]There are different systems, and well, everyone has to know which system fits their life. I started with an intensive course of 4 hours a day and I didn't learn much more, I didn't have time, right? But if you have the time, then great. And that's the great thing about our system. that's at your own pace. So don't worry, the important thing is not, I mean, the problem isn't German, but the problem would be not having a system.

[00:42:19]So, decide what your system is and if I can help you.
