@16af93 it's not the task it's the having different words for the same things depending on the education level. here it's a professor from kindergarten to university, and a subject, and a class
more detailed explanation of german school terms@kitten
the terms for the different stages of german schools and pre-school this one has encountered
Kindergarten - Kindergarden: Kindergärtler*in - kindergadener Gruppe - Group (basically a class in the later parts) Kindergärtner*in - Child Gardener (no clue what the english term is)
Grundschule - Primary School & Weiterführendeschule - Highschool/&c Stufe - Class/Level/Year Klasse - Class Fach - Class/Subject Unterricht - Class/Class Session Schüler*in - Student Lehrer - Teacher
University Jahrgang - Year Fachrichtung - Field of Study Vorlesung - Glorified Talk (for titles @q can probably help)
re: more detailed explanation of german school terms@16af93@kitten@q T/L note; the "English" translations you used there are specifically en_US; other English dialects can considerably differ ⚠
re: more detailed explanation of german school terms@16af93@kitten@q yeah there's just a general health hazard around any schooling terms in any language spoke in more than 1 country, they can be highly regionalised.
Even just some of the differences between the English and Scottish school systems confuse me.
re: more detailed explanation of german school terms@erincandescent@16af93@q I wonder if that's the case in Spanish, not that I'm aware of :neocat_think:
re: more detailed explanation of german school terms@kitten@16af93@q I mean I would be extremely surprised if schooling terms were the same between Spain and the countries of Latin America
re: more detailed explanation of german school terms@erincandescent@16af93@q@kitten my certificate for my Dutch Fachabitur (equivalent) is a single sheet of A4 but comes with a 10 page document explaining how to read it in German
re: more detailed explanation of german school terms@erincandescent@16af93@q@kitten that I had to request from the SBB (at no charge tbh but it took them An While) as they only had it in English
uspol@erincandescent@q@kitten yeah, but the internet is an extentsion of the currently still extant imperial american cultural power projection, so most non-native speakers are more likely to be familiar with the yankie terms and in doubt there are other more reliable resources than some random shitposter from germany on this topic
re: uspol@16af93@q@kitten doing the Schulzeit bit of the course in Germany was fun because we ended up with a situation where 13 people tried to explain the intricacies and differences of like 11 different schooling systems in just-over-A1-level German
re: more detailed explanation of german school terms@erincandescent@16af93@kitten@q don't forget the differences between the English (rich), the English (smart), and the English (poor) systems
I went to a "preparatory school" and a "senior school" and was thoroughly confused talking to normal people
more detailed explanation of german school terms@16af93@kitten@q an addition for university Student - student Vorlesung - lecture There's also Übung which is kind of a more practical class usually held by some assistant to the professor and there are seminars (Seminar) which is sometimes used interchangeably
