>>25541881No, it's The Mystery of Nils. Nils is a name, like George, Carl, or whatever, so you can't say "the Nils".

>>25541773E du klar fø å lera alle norges dialekta?
>>25542376bare bokmål på nå, seinere nynorsk jeg synes. Norsk min er bare litt. Jeg lærer fordi av shitposters.
>>25542391Bokmål, nynorsk and all the million dialects are all different. Bokmål and nynorsk are written languages. Stick to bokmål. No reason to learn additional/separate spelling (nynorsk). And incorporate oral norwegian too as you need to get used to dialects if you ever want to communicate with someone irl.
>>25542451I'm not quite at the point where I can watch childrens shows or listen to the radio. Conjugation sucks and I pick out maybe one word in three due to pronounciation or lacking vocabulary. Memrise has helped a little, as have Pimsleur audiobooks - though I will not, ever, greet someone with 'god dag'.
>>25542491Just do anki for vocab. God dag is my standard greeting kek.
>>25542498Suggestions for decks? I've found some but they tend to be all mixed together in terms of complexity or use. I don't need to know how to identify 49 separate varieties of beer.
>>25542491>I'm not quite at the point where I can watch childrens shows or listen to the radioyes you are. you are meant to do it before you can understand it. you are getting more information than vocab you already know and can recognise. you are getting the stress, the phrasing, the rhythm of the speech. you learn what is a question even though you don't know what they are asking. it is valuable. it is the baby babble stage which adds greatly to the foundations of speaking and listening ability

Märe, f. s.Derived from the obsolete word Märe, which was a feminine, singular noun meaning "news," "story," or "rumor.">dim. affix chenIt was formed by adding the diminutive suffix -chen.

The Rule: In German grammar, all nouns ending in the diminutive suffix -chen automatically become neuter, regardless of what gender the starting root word was. The textbook references point directly to this rule.>why in the nomin., Gr. 367, §. 9; El. p. 165why in the nomin.: Explains why the word Märchen appears in the nominative case (the subject form) within the specific sentence on page 9 of the reader.

I've noticed that "natural language" books are really multiple different kinds of books.1) books which attempt to make you learn vocabulary and grammar "inductively" through the words themselves2) books which are meant as a script for a teacher to read from while saying "this is a red book" and holding up a red book3) books which use pictures to do the job of the gesturing teacher and the props4) Books which are conversational in tone, but there isn't much of "induction", ie detective work, but rather it's like a teacher is talking in a continuous flow explaining things, illustrating through examples etc. I have found that this method is not limited to language teaching. It seems like maybe Jane Marcet's book Conversations on Chemistry started this trend. I think language learning books that are like this are fun but not great for absolute beginners.https://archive.org/details/2562029R.nlm.nih.govhere are some other books using the same methodhttps://archive.org/details/conversationsonv00marchttps://archive.org/details/chemicalcatechis00parkuofthttps://archive.org/details/scientificdialog00joyc_0https://archive.org/details/conversationsonc01ostwrichMany natural method books are a mix of these four types of text. Worman's natural method books are mostly category four.https://archive.org/details/erstesdeutsches00wormgoog

This doesn't have the extensive grammatical annotation but it's still pretty cool.It has one part that's conversation, one part that's reading, and a third part that's grammar.
