Checklist - Improve your German
1. Listen to Podcasts
Podcasts are a great way to improve your German, because
you can learn from native speakers, it's free, and you can do
it from anywhere.
2. Get organised
Organise your learning progress in a structured way. Learn
German every day for 5–20 minutes. Make it a habit, that is a
much better way than learning German once a week for 2 hours.
3. Do something actively
Don't just passively learn, do something like writing down
sentences in German, do exercises or find someone to speak to.

So now that we know how and when to use the Nominativ. let's take a look
at the Akkusativ case.
Rule 1
Direct object = Akkusativ
Rule 2
These are:
für (for), ohne (without), gegen (against), durch (through), um (at, around)
or FOGDU
Then we have the Dativ and Genitiv. But more about that at another time.

German Cases
Dativ
The dative case is one of the four cases in German, used to indicate the
indirect object of a verb or the object of certain prepositions. In other
words, the dative case is used to show to or for whom something is being
done or given.
The endings of the nouns, articles and adjectives change depending on the
gender, number and case. Here are the dative case endings for each of the
definite articles in German:
Some common prepositions that require the dative case in German include
aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, and zu. It's important to memorize which
prepositions take the dative case so you can use them correctly in your
sentences.
Example sentences:
Ich gebe dem Mann das Buch. (I give the book to the man.)
Die Katze liegt auf der Decke. (The cat is lying on the blanket.)
Ich komme aus der Stadt. (I am coming from the city.)
German Cases
Genitiv
Example sentences:
Die Farbe des Autos meines Vaters ist blau. (The color of my father's
car is blue.)
Die Größe des Hauses meines Freundes ist beeindruckend. (The size of
my friend's house is impressive.)
Der Geschmack des Essens meines Lieblingsrestaurants ist
unvergleichlich. (The taste of the food from my favorite restaurant is
incomparable.)

Max wohnt in Berlin und steht immer um 8 Uhr auf. Nach der Dusche geht er
in die Küche, um sich einen Tee zu machen. Oft liest er dabei auch eine
Zeitung. Heute ist Sonntag, das bedeutet, er trifft sich heute mit seinen
Freunden Markus und Lisa. Zu dritt gehen sie in den "Volkspark
Friedrichshain". Der Park ist im Osten von Berlin. Meist sind sie dann hungrig
und gehen einen Döner essen. Der Dönermann ist sehr freundlich und der
Preis ist auch gut, nur 3€ kostet der Döner. Am Abend gehen alle in eine
Kneipe. Markus trinkt ein Bier, Lisa einen Wein und Max einen Cocktail. Um
11 Uhr verabschieden sich die Freunde und gehen nach Hause. Max ist müde
und möchte nur noch ins Bett.

The organization chart is the starting point of this guide on your journey
through the world of business German. Let’s take a look. I’ve included the
translations with every department.

der Geschäftsleiter CEO
der Sekretär / die Sekretärin secretary
Why? The best way to ask polite questions in the business world is to use the Konjunktiv 2.
Example:
Würden Sie so freundlich sein und mich mit dem Geschäftsführer verbinden? Would you be so kind and
connect me with the CEO?
Now the long answer – We take the infinitive verb and form the Präteritum, then we add the Konjunktiv
endings and turn the vowel into an Umlaut, if possible.

Konjunktiv 2
For the past we use the Konjunktiv form of sein and haben + past participle. Wenn ich das
gewusst hätte, wäre ich in den Park gekommen. If I would have known that, then I would have
come to the park.
Let’s do some examples, try to translate the following sentences into German:
If I would not have come, then I would not have seen this.
Ok enough grammar, I almost fell asleep read so much about Konjunktiv 2, let’s continue with
business German.
