Hallo allerseits!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned about Eiweishaltige Lebensmittel. Let’s review what you have learned.

Lektionsüberblick

Stille Wasser sind tief (still waters are deep) and stilles Wasser is something you want to order at a restaurant, if you do not like carbonated water. Don’t expect ice in the cup, though! Even if you order a soda (called Cola), you may not receive any ice cubes. Ice cold beer is also not a typical. You may remember most of the main kinds of drinks, now it’s time to review and expand. In this lesson, you will review different kinds of beverages typically consumed in the US (and Germany). In the end, you will be able to 1) name at least 5 kinds of beverages, 2) say which beverages you prefer to drink, and 3) say how you prefer the beverages served.

Was weißt du schon?

Let’s do a quick skills check.

1) die Getränke

We focused on things we can eat in the first part of this unit; now it’s time for things we can drink. Read and listen to the words below. How many do you remember?

Let’s practice.

2) Lieber und am liebsten

Was trinkst du lieber – Cola oder Kaffee? Was trinkst du am liebsten? Do you relate to any of the example sentences below?

Die Frau links sagt, “Ich trinke lieber Wasser als Cola.”	Der Mann sagt, “Ich trinke lieber Bier als Wein.”	Die Frau sagt, “Ich trinke schwarzen Tee am liebsten.”

Let’s practice.

3) Getränke serviert

Wie trinkst du gerne Tee? Heiß oder kalt? How do you like your beverages served? These are little things but can have an effect on our enjoyment!

Take a look at these example sentences:

Ich trinke lieber Cola mit als ohne Eiswürfeln.

Ich trinke Kaffee nur mit Milch und Zucker.

Ich trinke Tee ohne Zucker.

Ich trinke lieber kaltes als warmes Bier.

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned to 1) name at least 5 kinds of beverages, 2) say which beverages you prefer to drink, and 3) say how you prefer the beverages served. If you are feeling unsure about any part of the expanded introduction, go back to that section and review.

Look at the photos below and describe at least three beverages you see with as much detail as you have learned. Write these descriptions in your written journal.
