5.7 Wie kommst du zur Uni?

Guten Morgen!
Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.
Wiederholung
In the previous lesson, you learned to say the places you like to study and how to pose that question to others. Let’s review what you have learned.
Wo lernst du gern? How would you answer? You can be creative here and respond by saying that you like studying at the library the best or that you prefer one location over another. Or, keep it simple. Now that your language is expanding, you will notice that you have more choices. This can feel empowering or a little overwhelming at times. That is a part of the language journey!
Lektionsüberblick
Let’s talk about logistics – how you get to and from school and how you prefer to travel back and forth. In the end, you will be able to 1) ask someone how they get to class, 2) say how you prefer to travel to class, 3) describe some transportation vehicles you own, and 4) understand directions.
Was weißt du schon?
Let’s start with our skills check.

2) Preferred methods of transportation
Wouldn’t it be great if someone could drop us off at the door to our classroom building each day? That is usually not the case, so how do we get to class? More importantly, how to we prefer to get to class? Let’s practice with the word lieber again to discuss preference.

Then record your answer 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.
Baden-Württemberg im Blickpunkt

Das Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg, auch „württembergische Versailles“ genannt, ist eine große Schlossanlage mit 18 Gebäuden und Gärten und liegt in der ehemaligen württembergischen Residenzstadt Ludwigsburg. Es wurde in den Jahren 1704 bis 1816 in den Stilen Barock, Rokoko und Klassizismus vom kleinen Jagdschloss zur monumentalen Vierflügelanlage ausgebaut. Das Schloss kann man heute besichtigen.

3) Meine Fahrzeuge
Take a look at the Fahrzeuge below. What do you notice about the descriptors in front of each vehicle?
Let’s practice describing our vehicles.
Jetzt bist du dran!
4) Mein Weg zur Uni
Some people are good with giving and following directions to new places. Others might find this challenging in any language. But knowing the basic words and phrases is the first step to understanding.
With that in mind, read and listen to these flashcards. See if you can understand their meaning based on the images. Flip the card over if needed to see a translation.
Let’s practice some more with this activity
Listen as Kate describes how she gets from her house to the university.

Let’s Practice.
Now let’s try something a bit harder.
