Salam Dear Brothers!

Do you know a few bascis? or shall we start from the beginning? Well, I was thinking of making some sheets - the very basics - for you. Or we could do this course interactively via instant messaging. If you have any idea, let me know I really want to help you, insha'allah!!

masalam!

I've created a little blog:

http://germanlanguagecourse.blogspot.com/


if it is okay, then I can publish lessons on that page. It is really no commercial or anything like that. I just want to share my knowledge

masalam!

 

[malayloveislam]

Thanks, I have no basic at all in German but this language is cool for me. I would like to check the blog and see what I can get before giving some opinions ya. I think many others are interested to learn German too, we really appreciate your help, Jazakallah.

Salaam Bruder Brasco

Ich habe Ihren blog angesehen. Ich wuensche Ihnen viel Erfolg dammit. Es waere gut wenn Sie das S Z und den Umlaut erklaeren koennten.

This "ß" (Eszett) is a tripple "S". There are couple of words that have this "ß". It is also called "Sharp S".

If there is a long vowel:

Fuß - Füße
grüßen - ihr grüßt
Gruß - Grüße


Short vowel:

Fass - Fässer
lassen - lässt

Insha'allah I could help you!!

Yes, I do have a German name. I am of German descent on my father's and mother's side.

I am pretty sure that you, too, have a name other than the one you use on this forum.
