Nicht means not and kein means no as in "not any".
Ich spiele Klavier nicht. I play piano NOT.
Ich hab' kein Klavier. I have NO piano.

I'm in german 1 right now, so this may not be correct.
Would "Immer gehe ich zu meine Hause nach Schule.", be right?

Hallo buggsie blue und Caotic Crys, wilkommen! Caotic Crys Ich heisse Crystal. ich bin funfzehn jahre alt. ich wohnt in Georgia. Ich liebe deutsch classe. Frau Schock ist sehr nett und lustig. ich esse gern schokolade. Yes, that is almost completely right, except for... "Ich wohnt in Georgia" -> "Ich wohne in Georgia" When the verb is being performed by yourself ("I live..."), it must end in -e. "classe" -> "klasse" But that is only a very small error. smile Lernst du auch andere Sprachen? Und was ist dein Lieblingsfach? (Do you also learn other languages? And what is your favourite subject? ~Neon.Zombie

Hallo buggsie smile Was willst du sagen? What do you want to say? If you want to say "I always go home after school", you can say "Ich gehe immer nach Hause, nach der Schule". Or, if you would like to 'invert' the structure (like you have done in your sentence), you could say "Immer nach der Schule gehe ich nach Hause". If you want to say that you go home, or homewards, the phrase "nach Hause" should be used. Wie alt bist du, buggsie? Kommst du auch aus Amerika, wie Chaotic? ~Neon.Zombie

I got a question. Why do they sometimes take off the e in words like habe or hilfe? Is it like a slang thing?

I can't, however, bring myself to use 'geil' in place of 'cool'. I just start laughing. VOLL GEIL.

(asking this cause the mashed potatoes make me feel like im goona hurl if i eat too much) Edit:Also, what does "doch" mean? I can't seem to find a good anwer anywhere else. Tag Buggsie smile According to some cross-research and my dictionaries, the most appropriate terms for "vomit" are "sich übergeben" and "sich ergeben" (don't forget the 'sich', otherwise it is something entirely different!). However, I would advise you to take caution before using words taken directly from a dictionary, as they can often be of an incorrect tone. Double check with a native wherever possible. wink It may be better to say that "Ich fühle mich krank, wenn ich zu viele Kartoffeln essen". If you need conjugations, do let me know and I will try to help you. Now, as for doch... "doch" means "yes", but in response to a question/statement where it implies the negative. So, for example... "Er ist nicht so intelligent..." "Doch, er spricht drei Sprachen!" You wouldn't use it for something like.... "Hast du eine Katze?" "Doch." Incorrect...!
