Improving my German
So I decided i will learn a new German word per day and write it here. If you know intermediate-advanced knowledge on German vocabulary, please feel free to help me out learn new words :)
Day 1. knochenhart (adj, fam) : very hard (bread, stone); trainieren: very hard
@hardworkingBeechwood6063 Wow, what a great endeavor you have created for yourself! Unfortunately I do not know any German. But have you heard of Duolingo? It's a free app/website that helps you learn new languages. It might help you learn more than one new word a day, so that you can surpass your goal :)
@purplelady568
I used to have Duolingo when i was beginner level. I completed the course years ago :) but thanks for the suggestion anyway!
@hardworkingBeechwood6063 ohhh I see. You are no longer at beginner level! Well, that is pretty amazing. Keep up the good work, and have fun learning!

day 2. kommst du zu meiner Party? – Ehrensache vieni alla mia festa? – Ci puoi contare!
@hardworkingBeechwood6063 "Ehrensache" - ahhh haven't heard that expression in a while! You can use it like in your example, however, it is also commonly used in a situation where one person does the other one a favor... "Könntest du mir mit meinem Computerproblem helfen?" - "Klar, das ist doch Ehrensache!"
@creativeLion1989
Thank you for the explanation. Now the term is more clear to me. Danke schoen!
@hardworkingBeechwood6063 cool! I’m german ;)
@hardworkingBeechwood6063 Hello :) So great that you want to improve your language skills!! I am a German native speaker and can help you out if you want! What is your plan? Would you like me to give you some German phrases that can be used in smalltalk?
@creativeLion1989
i know the grammar and all, but what i lack is vocabulary. especially verbs. I also don't have much knowledge about slang words or commonly used phrases in daily speech. I would love for you to teach me some ! that would be awesome
@hardworkingBeechwood6063
also my weak point is speaking; like i could ace a grammar test but i get SO awkward speaking. That's also because i don't know any German people who I could talk to in real life. So i only practice it academically :(
@hardworkingBeechwood6063
und = and
ja= yes
nein= no
@hardworkingBeechwood6063
Freundschaftsbeziehungen (Friendship relations)
Streichholzschachtel (Box of matches)

@CalmCup43
Streichholzschachtel is a new word for me! thank you so much :)
