I forgot that your heathens use "." Instead of "," in numbers. I was very confused
Swiss system is best system: apostrophes for thousands, either dot or comma for decimals. Completely unambiguous for anyone even if you're seeing it for the first time: 12'345.67

I've, legit, learned a decent amount of German just by having Google translate up on my second monitor browsing lemmy late at night.
I was gonna make a Midnight Oil joke, then remembered they're all 'Strayan.

Nein. Das ist zeit für Deutsch lernen. Dann du kannst Scheißposts in zwei Sprachen machen
Hmm, let me try.
No. This is not for German learning. Then you can't shit post in the Spray Machine.
How close did I get?
Pretty close, but you skipped some nouns and you have too many "not"s in your sentence. The correct translation is "no, that is the time for learning German. Then you can shitpost in two languages". Zeit is the word for time, and Sprachen means languages.
Thank you!
Zeit threw me off and had no idea what Sprachen machen meant.
Machen -> make
The translation by amoistgrandpa is "Then you can shitpost in two languages", which is good English, a more literal translation would be "then you can make shitposts in two languages"

Same but I'm from Australia. Ich_iel is pretty much German Duolingo to me at this point.
Another one making the mistake of learning German by ich_iel-memes.
Be aware that part of ich_iel humour in no small part consits of comically literal translations of English expressions. That has nothing to do with proper German and as a learner you probably won't be able to spot the difference.
Bad idea to try to learn German there.
The German on ich_iel can be "creative"

(You do not in fact, go to bed.)
In a couple years you'll be able to read German fluently... Without knowing how to speak it.
Ironically, it's one of the few languages that English speakers have an easier time advancing their lingual fluency through literacy, in my experience. (former ESL teacher, international hospitality liaison, etc.)

I started learning German from my dad's Jr. Highschool book from the 1960s but had no one around who spoke German. My pronunciation was... interesting (even trying to mimic what the guide was telling me in the front of the book). When I finally tried to speak to people, it was also funny to learn that several things were quite out-of-date (Feder vs Kuli I think was one).

Moin
yup that is also my signal for "you have exhausted all the English lemmy content from now on it is all Deutschland"
I'm in europe, but I've actually been learning german these past few months so i see German posts as free practice
