Hallo alle zusammen!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned how to ask someone about their course load and when they have class. You also learned to say when you have class. Let’s review.

Lektionsüberblick

In the previous lesson, you learned how to ask when someone has classes. Today we will move into asking more specific questions about time and providing more specific time-related answers. Let’s get started—Die Uhr tickt (the clock is ticking 🙂). Soon you will be able to 1) ask someone when they have class, 2) state the start and end times of your courses, and 3) talk about your schedule.

Was weißt du schon?

Let’s do our regular skills check before beginning.

1) Ask when someone has class

You’ve learned how to ask generally when a friend or classmate has classes – Wann sind deine Kurse?

Now, let’s get specific. Listen and read the question below. Based on the image clue, can you guess the meaning?

Um wie viel Uhr hast du Kurse?

Let’s practice putting the parts of the question together.

2) Die Kurszeiten

Let’s learn to say the start and end times of our classes. Oftentimes, classes do not start and end at the hour so you will need to be comfortable with the numbers in between, especially numbers like thirty (dreizig), fifty (fünfzig), or even forty-five (fünfundvierzig). Take a moment to review larger numbers like these in the video^[1] .

If you were taking classes in Germany, the times of the classes would be listed using the 24-hour clock. You can return to Lektion 5.4 in Deutsch im Alltag to review how to work with that format.

Let’s practice telling time. Read, listen, and repeat the times you see below.

To say the start and end times, you will need to know two small German words: von and bis. See if you can tell what they mean.

	Johannes sagt, “Mein Deutschkurs ist von 9 bis 9hr50.”
	Julia sagt, “Mein Spanischkurs ist von 10 bis 11hr30.”

Let’s practice.

3) Say what classes you have each day and when

Let’s put it all together. Read and listen to the comic below.

Let’s practice.
