I use this method all the time - in the car, around the house, I even talk to my cats in German. If you already know a lot of the rules, then talking like this gives you time to think and correct yourself, without the pressure of another person, and the more you use or hear combinations of words, or word endings, the more instinctive they become. A native speaker will never think "okay so that's a feminine noun in dative so the adjective takes -en and die becomes der" or whatever - it's all natural, from habit, and the more you talk to yourself, taking your time, the more all these thousands of grammar combinations stick in your head. That then helps your listening skills because you recognise the patterns rather than thinking and translating individual words or endings.

Ich rede mit mir selbst den ganzen Tag im Kopf, und irgendwann kann ich das richtige Wort nicht finden und schaue direkt auf den Ćbersetzer, und lerne, was dieses Wort ist. Es ist eine sehr gute Methode, empfohlen š und danke Cari fĆ¼r deine sehr deutliche Aussprache, du erinnerst mich, dass Deutsch eigentlich nicht so eine schwere Sprache ist šā¤

I read an interesting article about learning and communicating in a language. The writer's main argument was this: we don't need to focus on ourselves (trying to minimise mistakes) when we communicate in a new language. Instead, we need to focus on the other side of the conversation, in our case, let's say German native speakers. It matters how much you understand when talking to native speakers. Furthermore, when you understand the natives fully, they will always understand you, no matter how many grammatical mistakes or mispronunciation may have. What I saw with Robin today was like the true example of this argument.

This absolutely works. I thought it was quite obvious for everyone when I was younger. I speak to myself a lot in my mother tongue since I was a kid, and was always very "praised" for being very eloquent in everyday life. When I had to learn a foreign language I automatically started doing it, realized afterwards. And yup, it works. Also, when I realized not everyone does it I asked my best friend, a psychologist, if I was going nuts. His reply was: "as long as you don't hear anyone replying to you, all is good" :)

Thank You Cari and Janutz and Walt. Ich Freue Mich.

Amazing! He doesn't care about the fact that he could make mistakes when he's speaking, he only cares about getting the point across and speaking. This is exactly what everyone should strive for before drowning in grammar books!
