Verlass dich auf andere und Du bist verlassen.
Rely on others and you are lost.
The first Free German Lesson of Deutsch Happen was planed for quite a while now. I told everybody who follows me about it but in the end, it all was useless because the servers of wiziq.com, who host [...]

So I decided to reactivate another blog of mine which I used [...]
Ok, my first suggestion is a tool I personally use every day.

Time for a little review of one of my first video lessons on Deutsch Happen: the Alphabet.
It’s a very essential and important lesson if you want to speak german correctly. Even though most european languages use the latin alphabet, the pronunciation of the letters is different. So listening to the alphabet is the first step [...]
We Germans are famous for inventing new words or simply to shorten expressions.
This happens most of the time when we decide to combine one or even more nouns or sometimes adjectives to form a new word.
One of these new words that recently appearead in the german news is: der Gasstreit
Let’s have a look in today’s [...]
