Salzburg im Blickpunkt

imageimage 1816 schrieb Salzburger Priester und Dichter Joseph Franz Mohr das Gedicht Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht. 1818 ließ er eine Melodie dazu von Franz Xaver Gruber komponieren. Somit entstand das weltberühmte Weihnachtslied Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht. Sie führten das Lied zum ersten Mal am Heiligabend 1818 in der Sankt-Nikola-Kirche in Österreichisch-Laufen (heute Oberndorf) auf. Das Altarbild des Christkindes von der Wallfahrtsbasilica in Mariapfarr (rechts) inspirierte Mohrs Vers “Holder Knab’ im lockigen Haar”. Inzwischen gibt es das Weihnachtslied in 320 verschiedene Sprachen und Dialekte. Es wurde 1905 zum ersten Mal aufgenommen und heute gibt es mehr als 137.000 Aufnahmen. 2011 wurde das Lied von der UNESCO als immaterielles Kulturerbe in Österreich anerkannt.

In 1816, Joseph Franz Mohr wrote the poem Silent Night, Holy Night. In 1818, he had Franz Xaver Gruber compose a melody for the poem. Thus, the world-famous Christmas carol Silent Night came into being. They first performed the song on Christmas Eve 1818 in the Saint Nicola Church in Österreichisch-Laufen (now called Oberndorf). Mohr was inspired by a golden-haired image of the Christ child from the high altar of the basilica in Mariapfarr (on the right) to write the verse “Lovely boy with curly hair”  (which was rendered as “Holy infant so tender and mild” in the most-common English translation by John Freeman Young, 1859). In the meantime, the Christmas carol has been translated into approximately 320 different languages and dialects. It was recorded for the first time in 1905 and today, there are more than 137,000 recordings. In 2011, the song was recognized by UNESCO as an Immaterial Cultural Good in Austria.

 

In der Küche

Kochst du gern oder backst du gern? Look at the ways to express cooking and baking hobbies below.

Oftentimes we have creative hobbies so that we can be generous with others. Check out the example sentences below. Can you tell who is receiving the gift being made? Answer the questions below.

Ich backe meinen Hunden einen Kuchen. Ich häkele meiner Mutter eine Mütze Ich zeichne meinem Vater ein Bild.

Let’s practice.

Jetzt bist du dran!

Kochst du deiner Familie ein Gericht? Backst du deinem besten Freund einen Geburtstagkuchen (birthday cake)? Do you ever do one of your hobbies FOR someone? Using the models above build a sentence that has a RECEIVER of your gift or hobby.
Now record this in German in your audio journal. If you can do it immediately without reading, that’s great! Otherwise, practice saying it a couple times before recording. Or rerecord, if you are not satisfied.

2) Was machst du gern? Was sind deine Hobbys?

As in most languages there is more than one way to inquire about hobbies. Read and listen to the comic below to see two ways for asking about someone’s interests.

Let’s practice using these questions.

Jetzt bist du dran!

Was machst du gern? Was sind deine Hobbys? Record yourself asking these key questions in your audio journal. If you can do it immediately without reading, that’s great! Otherwise, practice saying it a couple times before recording. Or rerecord, if you are not satisfied.

3) Was ich lieber mache

Let’s review how to express a preference between two things, or in this case two hobbies. You learned how to do this with Kleidungsstücke in 3.12. (go back and review if needed). Let’s build upon this. Read the comic below. Can you tell which activity each character prefers?

Let’s practice!

 

Jetzt bist du dran!

Was machst du lieber? Was machst du am liebsten? Consider your top two hobbies. Which one do you like better? Create a sentence like those above to express this preference.
Then record yourself spelling your first and last name in your audio journal. If you can do it immediately without reading, that’s great! Otherwise, practice saying it a couple times before recording. Or rerecord, if you are not satisfied.

 

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned  to 1) name some creative hobbies, 2) ask what someone’s hobbies are, and 3) state which creative hobbies you prefer over other creative hobbies. If you are feeling unsure about any part of the expanded introduction, go back to that section and review.
Imagine you are on your exchange semester to Germany and have met someone who could become a friend. You start talking about hobbies. You each say what you like to do, what you prefer to do, and which your favorite hobby is. Use the language modeled in this lesson to help you write a dialogue about your preferences. Be sure to mention which products of your hobby you have made for a friend or family member.
When you are done, record your conversation in your audio journal. Or, better yet, meet up with a classmate and record together!
