"I prefer English."

Translation: Ich mag Englisch lieber.

[VaterGut]

is it really wrong to say, "ich mag lieber Englisch."?

[myra]

That's accepted now too. Thanks!

[aself69]

"Ich habe Englisch lieber" ought also to be accepted. Nicht wahr?

[Daalianer]

Yes.

[Raisinnoir]

7/9/16 That's what I was taught in school and what I put. Not accepted. I'm reporting it.

I put "Ich ziehe Englisch vor" and got dinged. Is that an acceptable translation? Dec 14, 2015

[Daalianer]

Yes, "Ich ziehe Englisch vor." is correct.

[maripositalinda]

I've put this on July 12th, 2016. Still not accepted. Will report.

[Bekir978479]

Ich spreche lieber Englisch. Can this be accepted?

[Bekir978479]

Ich würde eher Englisch sprechen. Passt das?

The English sentence doesn't say anything about speaking; you can't just add in words that aren't there. (It could be talking about reading or writing English, for example.)

[Lukis9922]

Ich mag Englisch besser is not acceptable. Anyone knows why? Also the word suggestions are bad.

[-Copernicus-]

In German, you don't "mögen (something) besser"; you "mögen (it) lieber." "Mögen besser" would mean, I believe, that you're doing a better job of liking it (in the sense that "I cook better" means you're doing a better job of cooking)-- and that is not a very useful sentence.

[r.m.s.2016]

Couldn't you also say "ich ziehe Englisch vor"?

[Daalianer]

"Ich ziehe Englisch vor." is correct.

[FreekVerkerk]

Ich mag Englisch am Besten?

[Raisinnoir]

Your sentence translates to "I like English best ( am besten )".

[paul03datura]

Es akzeptiert "Ich präferiere Englisch." nicht. Da stimmt was nicht

[maripositalinda]

It should be accepted. 3.April 2018

[bob690]

"Ich gerne Englisch" not acceptable?

[Eloise23]

Apr 2, 2018 - I think gerne is an adverb. At any rate, "Ich gerne Englisch" has no verb, and definitely not the way it's said in German.

[Wonderboy6]

Can you say 'ich mag gerne...' for 'I prefer'?

[-Copernicus-]

No, that would mean "I like liking English" (i.e., liking English is somehow enjoyable), which doesn't make much sense.

[SimonPuchtler]

I vaguely remember using 'Ich liebe gern' to express a preference. Is that right, and could it be used here (it wasn't accepted)?

[AnneMaxwel4]

I tried that, unsuccessfully, too. I would appreciate feedback. Thanks.
