3.9 Kleidung tragen

Hallo alle zusammen!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson you learned how to describe family members, note similarities, and describe people in art. Let’s review.

Jetzt bist du dran!

Do you look like someone in your family? Or, maybe you share a resemblance with your friend. In your written journal write a sentence noting a similarity between you and this person. Then practice saying it aloud and record the sentence once you feel confident.

Lektionsüberblick

Whether you consider yourself a fashionista or don’t give much thought to what you wear, at some point you will need to talk about your clothes or the clothing of others. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to 1) ask what someone is wearing, 2) name some items of clothing, 3) say what items of clothing you are wearing today, and 4) say what items of clothing another person is wearing today.

Was weißt du schon?

Check your existing skill level with the questions below.

Noch nicht start klar?

Du kannst immer auf die gleiche 1010-Lektion zurückgreifen!

 Not confident about starting this lesson?

You can always review the same Lektion from 1010.

1) Was trägst du heute?

Read and listen to the comic. Then answer the questions below.

2) Mehr Kleidungsstücke

Let’s review and build vocabulary with the following activity.

 

Kleiner Hinweis

Remember the power of the compound word (Komposita) in German. You can use this feature of German to build more specific pieces of clothing using what you already know. Look at the example below.
Regen + Jacke = die Regenjacke (rain jacket)
Haus + Schuhe = die Hausschuhe (house shoes)
Hand + Schuhe = die Handschuhe (gloves)
Schnee + Stiefel = die Schneestiefel (snow boots)
Training + Hose = die Traininghose (athletic shorts)

 

Now listen as the speaker describes what Kleidungsstücke she has in her closet. What Kleidungsstücke can you understand?

 

 

You can take a look at ThoughtCo’s page on fashion to learn more words and phrases.

Jetzt bist du dran!

Welche Kleidungsstücke hast du? In your written journal, jot down as many items of clothing you can think of that you own.

 

Köln im Blickpunkt

Kölsch
Der Köbes mit seinem Kranz

Kölsch ist ein besonderes Bier aus Köln. Es wird durch EU-Recht geschützt: Nur Brauereien in und um Köln dürfen ihr Bier offiziell Kölsch nennen. Es ist hell, goldfarben und leicht fruchtig. Es wird in kleinen Gläsern, Stangen genannt, serviert. Die Köbes (Kellner*innen in der Region um Köln) bringen solange neue Stangen in einem Kranz, bis man sein Glas mit dem Untersetzer abdeckt.

Kölsch is a special beer from Cologne, Germany. It is protected by EU law: only breweries in and around Cologne can officially call their beer Kölsch. It is light, golden, and slightly fruity. It is served in small glasses called Stange. The waiters (called Köbes in the Cologne region) keep bringing new glasses in a wreath-shaped carrier until you cover your glass with a coaster.

3) Heute trage ich…

Read the comic and Kleinen Hinweis.

  

Kleiner Hinweis

Do you remember that you can say both “Es geht mir gut” and “Mir geht es gut“?
German is pretty cool. You can start a sentence with almost any part of a sentence and then just follow it up with the verb and the subject!
That means that you can also say “Ich trage einen Pullover heute” und “Heute trage ich einen Pullover“.
Starting a sentence with anything other than the subject emphasizes that thing. And the best part? No need to add a comma!

 

Let’s practice this word order.

 

Jetzt bist du dran!

Was trägst du heute? What are you wearing today? Ein T-Shirt? Eine Brille? In your written journal, write what you are wearing. Experiment with adding colors. (e.g. Ich trage ein blaues T-Shirt).
Then record yourself saying the sentence aloud. If you can do it immediately without reading, that’s great! Otherwise, practice saying it a couple times before recording it again.

4) Heute trägt er/sie/xier…

Read the comic below and then answer the questions that follow.

Jetzt bist du dran!

Was trägt dein Klassenkamerad heute? Look around or speculate about what a classmate (or person you know) is wearing today. Using what you learned above, create a sentence to express that.
Then record yourself  saying the sentence aloud! You might need to practice saying it a couple times before recording.

 

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned how to1) ask what someone is wearing, 2) name some items of clothing, 3) say what items of clothing you are wearing today, and 4) say what items of clothing another person is wearing today. If you are feeling unsure about any part of today’s lesson, go back to that section and review.
Then record yourself in your audio journal asking someone what they are wearing today. Then provide a verbal answer as well. If you can do it immediately without reading, that’s great! Otherwise, practice saying what you’ve learned a couple times before recording. Or rerecord, if you are not satisfied.
