Thema 4: Urlaub und Reisen

Our fourth Thema Urlaub und Reisen transitions from the Schulzeit to talk about school breaks and national holidays. We will learn some geography and talk about kinds of travel, transportation, sightseeing activities, lodgings, and your travel companions. We will talk about the Familienurlaub, travel with our immediate family, and the first trip(s) you have taken without your parents. Travel does not need to be lengthy or exotic to be worthy of conversation.
