Does anyone happen to know of a website or something, showing dialects of German based on area? >_>;

I want to know what this: "Du kannst mich mal" means. My friend and German exchange student use it to each other all the time.

Koko.Dk I want to know what this: "Du kannst mich mal" means. My friend and German exchange student use it to each other all the time. It means 'You can [insert verb] me', but from the modal particle 'mal', it becomes more like 'Go on you can _____ me'.

It means 'You can [insert verb] me', but from the modal particle 'mal', it becomes more like 'Go on you can _____ me'. Danke schön! I also heard a friend of my who doesn't speak German say this, and the substitute said "How dare you! I've lived in Germany for four years!"

Does anyone know of any good german grammer books, that hopefully don't cost too much?

Guten Täg,
German is a VERY fun language, I agree to all who give this one a try and keep wanting more.
I visit Germany rather frequently but sadly I haven't the time to practice my German since it's mostly family matters and we speak both English and filipino.
My issue with German is the conjuction and the whole musculine and feminine words. Whenever I go to the market or coffee shop I seem to freeze with asking for a simple coconut mocha or where simply the eggs (eier) are located at, I usually ask my uncle and aunt and try to get the pronouncation right.
Any tips for getting the 'Sch' and other difficult letter combinations right?
Much help would be appreciated!
Danke!

Hi everyone!
Despite studying German for around 4 years now, I've made an embarrassingly tiny amount of improvement since I started. I can hardly say anything at all.
Can anyone help me with some sentences and phrases?:
Ich moechte zu die ...laden gehen.
Should this be Ich moechte zur ...laden gehen?
Does 'neben dem Fenster' mean 'next to the window'?
What is the difference between "Ich habe Hunger" and "Ich bin hungrig"? Same for "Durst" and "durstig".
Does "Wie kann ich zur Bank gehen?" mean "How can I get to the bank?"?
How do you say a single ticket? As in "I'd like a single ticket please" when getting on trains.
How do you say "I think that..." as in, "I think that it's important". Or "I think that he's 22 years old"
How do you say 'so'? Is it just 'so'? What does 'also' mean?
Probably more to come, but thanks a lot in advance!

Guten Tag!
Hello everyone! I recently started learning German. =P Decided I wanted to learn some of my ethnic background. My Uncle helps me with the pronounciation when I visit him, which helps me a lot..
I have to say, German is probably one of my favourable languages to learn. It's so much like English, and I am able to memorize it easily. =P

'Laden' is masculine, so it should be 'Ich möchte zum Laden gehen.' 'Neben dem Fenster' does mean 'next to the window', yes. 'Wie kann ich zur Bank gehen' sounds a little off, and you would usually say 'Wie komme ich zur Bank?' 'A single ticket' would be 'eine einfache Fahrkarte'. And finally, I think that is simply 'Ich denke'. 'Ich denke es ist wichtig', 'Ich denke er ist 22.'

I love learning german, but I am really bad at the dative and accusative case. More times than not I just guess which word goes before a noun or whatever.
I think if I go over all the rules again I would be able to understand it once and for all...but I have never found the time lol.
I'm lazy.
