Primary level:
It is almost impossible to think at the primary level in German, but you can try to exercise. German beginners usually construct a complete sentence in Chinese when expressing a meaning, and then translate it word for word. Of course, if words can't convey meaning, there will be many mistakes and omissions.
The suggestion is, first of all, don't conceive sentences in Chinese, but think clearly what you want to express and find out the key words in your existing vocabulary (or through a dictionary). The so-called keywords are the core content of your whole sentence. Generally speaking, it is difficult for beginners. The next step is to apply the example. Because of the immature stage of grammar and language sense, it is very dangerous to make your own sentences, and the probability of making mistakes is extremely high. So it is better to find suitable examples to apply. This not only ensures that there will be no mistakes, but also increases the proficiency of the application. Put the key words in the example, and then understand them to see if the meaning is clear. In this way, at the beginning of the German term, thinking in German is a good foundation.
1, first know what you want to say, choose a suitable word according to your vocabulary, make sentences according to the example of this word, and finally get the sentence you want. Remember not to directly translate Chinese sentences into German.
Intermediate level:
During this period, you have mastered many common words and basic grammar. First find out your keywords according to the primary school, but don't directly apply examples, but try to relate your keywords to the sentence patterns and grammar you have mastered. In this process, a lot of practice is essential.
It is also important to use the different parts of speech of words flexibly. This refers to a word that expresses a meaning. In many cases, there are noun forms, verb forms and adjectives. Such as kommunikation, kommunizieren, kommunikative. Change the nature of the words you need to use according to your own needs. Then, when constructing sentences, we should start with simplicity, construct the subject first, and then consider modifying it with clauses or attributes in appropriate positions.
Generally speaking, intermediate level is the bottleneck stage of German learning. Many people usually experience this bottleneck after learning German for about 2 years. Once we break through, we will make rapid progress immediately. But I want to tell you that this stage is actually very boring and painful. You have lost the novelty of the primary level, but you have no mastery of the advanced level. There are many problems in front of you, and there are many things that can't be sorted out. Besides, you have no shortcuts. At this time, only a lot of practice and a lot of study can improve. So this stage is a hard process. More, it is to accept a lot of information and do a lot of exercises.
2. Make clear what you have learned and mastered, and on this basis, expand your vocabulary and carry out a series of memorization exercises.
Advanced level:
First of all, congratulations on breaking through the bottleneck and entering a new world. But you face more challenges. From now on, try to really think in German! Get rid of keywords and really start to express yourself independently and casually in German. Here are two views to share:
1, what it feels like to learn German first.
In fact, the steps we take to speak are to think first, then think about how to say it, and then say it. The same is true of Chinese. This mind refers to our emotional response to things. If you want to really bypass Chinese and think directly in German, you have to start from scratch.
When you hear a sentence, or something happens, feel him directly in German. It's like giving you an apple You don't consider China apples, but Apfel comes first. Or you are sad, but the first thing that comes to mind is not sadness, but Traurig. In the process of turning feelings into thinking, don't go around Chinese, forget Chinese completely, and directly turn feelings into German sentences in your head and say it again.
2. Think in German order.
Why do Germans put verbs last (modal verbs, clauses, etc.) in many cases? )? In fact, the word order of a language is probably the order in which people in this country think. Especially when speaking a long sentence, many people don't immediately think about how they will end and what words are at the end of their sentences. We also speak Chinese. We speak by feeling, and we don't need to struggle with grammar, because we are too skilled. The same is true of German. At the beginning of a sentence, when you use the first person, you will automatically use the appropriate verb to continue, and then say what your subject wants to express. Suddenly I feel that my description of a concept is not enough. Ok, add a clause, and then the content of the subject is finished. Naturally, we can judge what kind of verb is appropriate according to the words (subject, object) used in front. End of sentence. On the premise of advanced German, even if you think and make sentences naturally, the probability of making mistakes is not very high. Of course, if you have written it, you must read it again and correct the grammatical mistakes.
In communication, many times, the listener is not concerned about whether one of your endings is correct, but whether your meaning is clear enough. Gradually, you will find that the scenes in your dreams are all in German. You received a phone call from a German classmate in your sleep, and you could answer it like a flood. But sometimes, you will be surprised to find that a German word spoken from your mouth has been forgotten in Chinese for a long time. This may be the only shortcoming of German thinking practice.
3. With a vocabulary, I have done a lot of preliminary exercises and entered a new world of German learning. This means that you must really think in German. Continue to read articles and speak German words, and try to omit the links from Chinese to German. Read more, write more, watch more and listen more, and correct grammar mistakes. The point of entanglement is not whether the suffix is correct, but whether you can express the sentence clearly, so as to achieve barrier-free communication.
In fact, these methods are inseparable from constant practice and continuous learning. No language learning can escape this barrier. I hope I can bring some hints to you who are learning German.
