Hallo allerseits!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned about protein-rich foods. 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. If you want something flavored, then keep reading! In this lesson, you will be introduced to different kinds of beverages typically consumed in the US (and Germany). In the end, you will be able to 1) recognize words for beverages among other food words, 2) name at least two beverages you drink, and 3) name at least one beverage you do not drink.

1) die Getränke (Beverages)

We need something to wash down all of the fruit, veggies, and protein we’ve been focusing on. Let’s talk beverages. There are many cognates, so this might feel a little easier.

Let’s practice.

🎥 You can watch this video and read along as Adan answers whether he needs coffee. Can you tell what his answer is?

2) Ich trinke gern…

There is no end to the type of beverages we have access to nowadays. Was trinkst du gern? What type of drinks do you think the man below drinks?

Der Mann sagt, “Ich trinke gern Cola, Kaffee, Tee, und viele Energy-Drinks!” Here are some other responses. Ich trinke gern Wasser und schwarzen Tee. Ich trinke gern Rotwein. Ich trinke gern Hefeweizen.

Österreich im Blickpunkt – Almdudler

Die Österreicher lieben ihre Almdudler, ein gesüßtes kohlensäurehaltiges Getränk aus Kräuterextrakt. Er gilt als das „Nationalgetränk Österreichs“. Nach Coca-Cola ist er das zweitbeliebteste Getränk in Österreich.

Austrians love their Almdudler, a sweetened carbonated drink made of herbal extracts. It’s known as the “national drink of Austria.” It is the second most popular drink in Austria after Coca-Cola.

3) Ich trinke kein…

Trinkst du Kaffee oder Cola? Ja oder nein? What about the character below?

	Some other examples: Ich trinke keinen Tee oder Kaffee, nur Wasser. Ich trinke kein Bier. Ich habe eine Allergie gegen Alkohol. Ich trinke keinen Wein. Ich habe eine Alkoholunverträglichkeit. Ich trinke keinen Alkohol. Ich bin noch nicht 21 Jahre alt.

Let’s practice.

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned to 1) recognize words for beverages among other food words, 2) name at least two beverages you drink, and 3) name at least one beverage you do not drink.
If you are feeling unsure about any part of the expanded introduction, go back to that section and review.

Look at the pictures below. What beverages do you see? Write them in your written journal. Are they beverages that you drink? Go through each one and answer ja or nein aloud.
