One concept about sentence structure in German is very useful. As a native speaker you do not pay much attention to it all the time Well, until you coach professionals that also deal with syntax in their profession: Programmers or software developers. While I was showing him the first sentences in German, he said: "So you make a sandwich of them!"
English example: "I am studying German with Ruediger online tomorrow."
German concept: "Ich lerne mit Rüdiger morgen online Deutsch".
In every-day speech this concept is usually slightly more flexible. However, in principle, in German you put every additional information ( how, where, when) between the two slices of bread that make the bare minimum sentence " Ich lerne Deutsch".
Now, if you want your sandwich with cheese and onions, salad, and / or some ketchup or mayonnaise, please come to my online kitchen.
Guten Appetit
