Indonesian speakers learning German
— the mistakes your language makes you commit

Articles + gender (Indonesian has none)

Indonesian has no articles or gender; German needs der/die/das with almost every noun, and the article changes with case. Never learn a noun bare.

from your first language

Verbs conjugate (Indonesian verbs don’t)

Indonesian shows time with sudah/akan and never changes the verb; German changes it for person AND tense (ich gehe, du gehst, ich ging). The ending carries the meaning.

Verb position (V2 + verb-final)

Indonesian is comfortably subject-verb-object; German moves the verb to 2nd position — and to the very END after weil/dass/wenn.

core challenge

Noun gender (der/die/das)

German gender is largely unpredictable and must be learned with each noun. Learn the article WITH the word.

core challenge

Case endings (Nom/Akk/Dat/Gen)

Articles and adjectives change with case. Watch the verb/preposition — it decides the case.

core challenge

Verb to the end in subclauses

After weil/dass/wenn the conjugated verb goes to the very end. English keeps it next to the subject.
