Hallo alle zusammen!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned how to ask others about their talents and abilities and how to talk about your own best talents. Let’s review what you have learned.

Lektionsüberblick

In this lesson you will learn how to ask a new question to engage others in conversation. You will also learn how to give reasons behind your love of a certain activity or hobby. In the end, you will be able to ask and respond to the questions 1) how long you have had your hobby and 2) what you like about your hobby.

Was weißt du schon?

Before we begin let’s do a quick skills check.

1) Wie lange machst du das schon?

You might recall the question phrase “Wie lange” from earlier lessons (e.g. Wie lange kennst du dein Lieblingsmensch?). Listen to the questions below and the answers that follow in the comic. Can you tell what is being asked?

Let’s practice.

2) Was gefällt dir an deinem Hobby?

Have you ever considered why you enjoy your hobby so much? In other words…

You might remember that you have learned a word that helps you to give a reason: weil. (e.g. Ich bin müde, weil ich spät ins Bett gehe.). Now let’s focus on giving reasons we enjoy our hobby using weil.

Ich stricke, weil ich gern kreativ bin.
Ich spiele Basketball, weil ich gern aktiv bin.
Ich treibe gern Sport, weil ich gern mit meinen Freunden spiele.

Let’s practice building sentences.

Remember: You can ask the question back with “Und du?“
