This is because i am studying GCSE German (i am kind of regretting it at the moment) and the biggest reason really why i feel i am not doing too well is because i do not understand the cases entirely and this hinders me from writing more complex things and prevents me from learning how to say complex things.

If anyone does - please don't hesitate to say, and maybe suggest how i could learn easier.

Thanks,

Blaze

I'm learning German right now. Just completed first semester at university and got a solid A. Just German 1 so that's not fluent, but I'd say about 2-3 years worth of what I did in Highschool all in that one semester. But I wouldn't call myself fluent by any means. Depends on what you're doing. I can do some past tense verbs, separable prefix and dative case (I assume that's what you mean by case. So like I can do nominative, accusative, and dative cases but not Jenative yet.)That's about all of it though.

chemnitz is a really good online ger-eng dictionary with sample sentances a lot of times too. It helped me out with my writings for my german journal this past semester Smile

Thank you and yes - i have trouble learning the cases as you said - accusative, nomanative etc and i find it hard to learn and remember all the different endings for like possessive things and mein, meine etc.

Is there anything specific about it that you need help with? Do you know the genders for the nouns you've learned? That's really key in being able to conjugate correctly. Only "die" words (either feminine nouns or nouns that are plural...all nouns change to "die" when they are plural) change to meine in the nominative case. So you just add the 'e' for "die" nouns. All other nouns are just 'mein' in the nominative case. In the accusative case, only der words turn to 'meinen'; das words are not changed (remain mein) and the rule forthe die words remains the same as well. Same rules apply to kein, etc.

Ah, i guess i should look for the patterns. It is just that German as a language is i think complex, so much grammar.
