| > You can get every case, every article, and every syllable correct For articles, natives say sentences with wrong articles in them too. Seldomly because they don't know it (still happens), but because they change what they want to say mid-sentence. Cases are always a fight between the pendants and people who don't care. Plain incorrect grammar will of course be noticeable, but grammar isn't everything. |

| ▲ | 1718627440 5 days ago | parent [-] | | I think this really depends on the people you surround yourself with. I'm a native German and I get "complaints" that I do not correct enough, because I just try to have a conversation instead of being a language tutor. |

| That's a sample size of 1. When we moved to a German speaking country from the US some years ago, we didn't have that same experience at all. |

| I've never had an experience like this, but my only practice in-country has been in Österreich, and majority in Wien. |

| Where was that? Berlin by any chance? That's not representative for Germany. |

| ▲ | nxor 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Ah yeah, north Germans. I do agree south Germans act differently. |
