Konjunktiv in German
This is part of the Langblr reactivation challenge! This is day 9 :)
Write an explanation on a grammar rule in your target language (such as verb tenses, exceptions, word order, etc). Include sentences to show how and when it is used.
Sooo Konjunktiv, we finally meet.
Aka this is the Konjunktiv post that nobody asked me to write and yet I did. This is the English version, but you can also find the German version here (I can't promise that it will be more understandable tho) :)
Konjunktiv I is used for indirect speech. There are also some fixed situations in which one always uses Konjunktiv I. The main verb is only conjugated in the present tense; the auxiliary verbs are conjugated for the other tenses.
The verb sein is regular in Konjunktiv I: ich sei, du seiest, er sei, wir seien, ihr seiet, sie seien.
The rest of verbs are conjugated with the following pattern:
The third person singular is the most used, because it's the most frequent form in indirect speech. In order to conjugate it, one must remove the -n from the infinitive form: haben - er habe.
The modal verbs are also regular in the 1st and 3rd person singular: ich/er/sie/es müsse.
2nd person singular and plural are different from the indicative only by an -e: du gehst - du gehest/ihr geht - ihr gehet.
The 1st person singular and 1st and 3rd persons plural are the same as the indicative, so one must use the Konjunktiv II for situations when these persons are needed.
One can build sentences in the past, present and future with Konjunktiv I :
Simultaneity. The main and subordinate clauses occur at the same time: er sagt, sie lese ein Buch.
Anteriority. The subordinate occurs before the main clause: er sagt, sie habe ein Buch gelesen.
Posteriority - Futur I and II. The subordinate occurs in the future of the main clause: er sagt, sie werde ein Buch lesen/er sagt, sie werde ein Buch gelesen haben.
To speak about things that are impossible or unlikely, we use Konjunktiv II, but also for indirect speech and other situations:
Wishes and hopes.
Unreal statements or conditional sentences.
As previously explained, indirect speech (when Konkunktiv I isn't possible)
Particularly polite or careful requests or statements
There is one pure form of Konjunktiv II, for the present, and several forms with auxiliary verbs.
For the present, only strong verbs are conjugated in Konjunktiv II, because the subjunctive form in weak verbs is the same as indicative Präteritum. In order to conjugate strong verbs in Konjunktiv II, one must add the subjunctive endings (-e, -est, -e, -en, -et, -en) to the Präteritum root. Additionally, the verbs that have an a/o/u receive an Umlaut:
ich fände, du fändest, er fände, wir fänden, ihr fändet, sie fänden.
The modal and auxiliary verbs are also conjugated in Präteritum in Konjunktiv II:
ich wäre/ich hätte/ich würde/ich könnte/ich dürfte/ich müsste/ich sollte/ich wollte...
But many people already know these forms! They are the ones used for polite requests: ich hätte gerne...
The other tenses are conjugated with auxiliary verbs:
For situations in the future, but also for those in the present, one can use würden + infinitive. This is also the only form can be used for the present in weak verbs: ich würde warten.
Plusquamperfekt is constructed with haben or sein in Konjunktiv II + the participle of the verb. It's the past tense: ich hätte gefunden/ich wäre gegangen.
There is a second future form, Futur II, which is built with würde + participle + haben/sein: ich würde geträumt haben.
Thank you very very much to @dreamofghosts for the corrections and help in making sense of this....... interesting topic lol!!

Langblr (Re-)introduction
Hello! I've been lurking around these langblr parts for a few years now, and did post some stuff ages ago, but thought it was about time I became a bit more involved in the language learning community here.
I'm going to try and follow prepolyglot's langblr reactivation challenge over the next couple of weeks to give me a structure to use to get back to posting regularly, but for now here are some facts about me to act as a new intro...
My name is Alice
I'm 28 years old
I live and work in the UK as a data scientist
I love languages because I like the window they give me onto other cultures. They help me understand diverse perspectives on things and put my own values and ingrained beliefs in context... It's interesting to realise how some things that I take for granted as facts are actually totally arbitrary ideas that I wouldn't have if I'd grown up in a different situation.
I'm actively studying German to try and reach a level where I can more easily learn via input (for me this usually means watching youtube or TV). My current level is probably around A2 so I have a little way to go but hoping to be there some time around this Summer.
I'm also actively studying Spanish and taking a C1 class with Instituto Cervantes. My aim with this is to polish it up and gain more confidence with output.
I'm trying to maintain my French and Italian, both of these are at an intermediate-ish level.
That's probably it for now, but please interact with this post if you post langblr content or anything related to the languages above so I can follow you! I'm super interested in different language learning methods and theories too so would love to get more of that stuff on my dash.

Langblr Reactivation Challenge
Day 2
Challenge by @prepolyglot
My short term goals with Russian right now are just to absorb and remember more vocabulary. I'm at a point where with most words I've learned if I see or hear them I can understand them, but if I need to write something my mind goes completely blank. It took me forever to get past that with Danish and I think Russian is especially hard because of the Cyrillic alphabet for me. I can read it but I can't picture the right letter to use sometimes when I'm writing too, which sucks! I didn't have this problem with Japanese so idk what happened to me.
For long term goals, I want to work on pronunciation and speaking it without sounding like a complete idiot lol
Right now I have trouble remembering which letters are stressed in words and since it changes the pronunciation I kind of need to figure that out.

This is for Week 1 Day 1 of @prepolyglot ‘s langblr reactivation challenge 🥳
Helloooo, 大家好!My name is Josh, and I’m currently studying Mandarin. I speak English (native) and Spanish (L2). I’ve also studied French (intermediate) and Italian beginner). In the future I’d love to work on my French and also start studying Basque! I’m hoping this challenge gets me to think about my language studying more consistently (i.e. every day).
哈喽,大家好!我叫Josh,我现在学习中文。我说英语(母语)和西班牙语(二语)。我也学过法语(中级)和意大利语(初学)。在将来,我想提高我的法语,也想开始学巴斯克语!我希望这个挑战让我一贯多地想一想我学语的办法(每天)。

Langblr reactivation challenge #1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Create an introduction post about yourself. What's your name? What languages are you studying? What languages do you hope to study? What do you hope you'll get out of this challenge?
Hallo zusammen! Ich bin Al, aus Spanien, und lerne gerne seit Jahre Deutsch: ich habe ein Jahr in der Schule Deutsch gelernt, dann habe ich vier Jahre lang nur selbstgelernt, später bin ich nach Deutschland umgezogen... aber jetzt bin ich wieder in Spanien und möchte es nicht verlieren, deshalb nehme ich sehr gerne an dieser Challenge teil :) Im Moment promoviere ich in Biochemie und studiere die letzten zwei Semester English Studies, deswegen habe ich leider keine Zeit, um mich für einen Sprachkurs anzumelden. Neben Deutsch sollte ich vielleicht auch mit Französisch anfangen, da ich die Möglichkeit hätte, für eine kurze Zeit in ein französisches Labor zu gehen...
Hi everyone! This is Al, from Spain, and I've been learning German for quite a few years now: I took one year in high school, then did some self-studying for four years, and later I moved to Germany! But now I'm back in Spain and I don't want to lose all those improvements. That's why I'm so excited to take part in this challenge :) right now I'm doing my PhD in biochemistry and I'm also studying the last year of English studies, so I sadly don't have time to sign up for a language course. Besides German, I might have to start (re)learning french, because I just got the opportunity to go to a french lab for a short time...

Langblr Reactivation Challenge (1.1)
Hello! I've decided to take part in this wonderful challenge compiled by @prepolyglot because it has all the structure my brain craves, and I want to try and use it to motivate myself back into consistent language study.
About Me:
My name is Lucy and my pronouns are she/her
I'm British, but currently living in Spain on my year abroad
I'm a modern languages and history student at university
Languages I'm Learning:
Spanish - I study Spanish as part of my degree, and although I have a DELE certificate to say I'm C1, I think my skills have slipped a little and I'm closer to a high B2.
German - also part of my degree, but started from beginners in my first year. I'd say I'm B1/ tentative B2, my comprehension is very good, but my production is poor. I'm looking forward to being able to improve my German during the second half of my year abroad.
Italian - my favourite language, and one I've always wanted to learn. I'm currently self-studying, but I find it difficult to keep motivated. I'm around A2 level, but maybe a B1 in comprehension. (Speaking Spanish really helps me here!)
Swedish - this July I took part in an exchange programme with my university and studied in Sweden for a month. My course was on Swedish language and culture and I loved it! I'm only A1 level but would like to keep learning.
French - this semester, I am taking French classes (taught in Spanish) whilst on my year abroad. I've only had two weeks so far but it's super fun, and I've always wanted to pick French up again after learning it in high-school.
Arabic - I am also taking a course in Arabic which is taught in German. This will be a massive challenge for me, but I'm hoping it will help reinforce my German too!
Languages I'd Like To Learn:
Catalan
Dutch
I personally really struggled with picking a language and sticking to it, hence the massive number of languages on my learning list. I'm hoping that taking classes in 4/6 of them will help me focus this year. I'm hoping this challenge will help motivate me and maybe connect with other language learners too!

langblr reactivation | 2022-11-17
day 1: an introduction
i used to be an active member of the language learning community here on tumblr - i'm participating for a week to support this new project! my attitude towards language learning has changed a little since the early days of my langblr. i've chosen to focus only on one (1) language at a time. i have some language-related plans for the future, but i won't hurry!
i'm currently studying danish and have been doing so for about two years. i have a weekly hour with my tutor. we read together, sometimes about the strangest topics - we really try to explore a variety of subjects. i also enjoy writing a lot! it's fascinating how writing in your target language forces you to decompose your thoughts into tiny components before you can make sense of them and express them.
i love my current rhythm. i'm learning to be very patient. i'm very generous with this language - it really is an integral part of my daily life. it's incredibly fun when you reach a higher level and progression becomes a lot more nuanced. highly recommend focusing on a few things at a time!
thank you @prepolyglot for this cool initiative!

Week 3 | Day 7 | Langblr Reactivation Challenge
🇫🇮 FI: Vikan päivän ohjeistuksessa luki, että kirjoita äidinkielellä tai tavoitekielellä, joten ajattelin, että kirjoitankin tällä kertaa äidinkielellä eli suomeksi. Energiat vähän laski haasteen loppua kohden ja netin ulkopuolinen elämä painoi päälle, joten useampi päivä jäi multa välistä ja kirjoitan tätä viimeisen päivän postausta nyt paljon myöhemmin kuin oli tarkoitus. Halusin kuitenkin joka tapauksessa vetää vähän ajatuksia kokoon nyt lopuksi. Fiilis on hyvä, ja oon iloinen, että ehdin tekemään sen verran postauksia mitä ehdin. Parasta haasteessa oli ehdottomasti se, että löysin monia mulle täysin uusia langblr-tilejä haasteen tägin kautta. Sain myös lisää kipinää kielten opiskeluun ja motivaatio nousi, koska sain opiskeluun tavoitteellisuutta tän haasteen kautta (opiskelen tällä hetkellä kaikkia mun tavoitekieliä itsenäisesti, joten opiskelun tavoitteellistaminen on ajoittain hyvinkin haastavaa...). Sain myös paljon ajatuksia ja intoa jatkoa ajatellen, esim. millaisia langblr-postauksia haluan tästä eteenpäin tehdä. Kiitos @prepolyglot haasteen ideoinnista! 😊 
🇬🇧 EN: The prompts for the last day of this challenge instructed us to write either in our native language or our target language, so I decided to write in my native language (Finnish) for once. My energy levels definitely decreased towards the end of the challenge as real-life stuff complicated things, so I ended up skipping several days and I’m writing this last post way later than I intended to. In any case, I still wanted to sum up my thoughts at the end of the challenge. I feel great, and I’m really happy that I had time to create the posts that I did. The best thing about this challenge was definitely the fact that I found so many new-to-me langblr accounts through the tag for the challenge. The challenge also sparked new motivation in me for learning languages, because I found studying more intentional with an objective in sight (I’m currently studying all of my target languages independently, so I often lose sight of my goals and objectives...). Also, I now have many ideas and a lot of excitement for what I’m planning to do next, e.g. what types of langblr posts I want to continue with moving forwards. Thank you @prepolyglot for coming up with this challenge! 😊
