6.11 Eine Einkaufsliste schreiben
Guten Tag!
Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.
Wiederholung
In the previous lesson, you learned about the diversity of foods in Germany, how to express that you are hungry and/or thirsty, and how to say want you want to eat. Let’s review what you have learned.
For a moment inhabit your German child persona. You feel hungry and thirsty. How would you express that? Now (like a demanding child 🙂) say want you want to eat. Write these sentences in your written journal. Then practice reading them aloud in your audio journal.
Lektionsüberblick
When you are in Germany, you will likely have many meals at home, which means you will need to shop for groceries (Lebensmittel einkaufen). In this lesson, we will prepare for your shopping, by thinking about what you will eat for the next meals and then writing a shopping list. In the end, you will be able to 1) make a meal plan and 2) write a shopping list based on your meal plan.
1) Der Plan (The plan)
It’s time to plan your meals for the week. If you are not a plan-ahead type, that’s okay. It will still be a great opportunity to review the days of the week, meals, and food.

Kleiner Hinweis
Did you notice that the week starts with Montag and ends with Sonntag? That is typical in German-speaking Europe.

2) die Einkaufsliste schreiben (writing your shopping list)
Now let’s build your shopping list based on what you wrote in your Essensplan. You will most likely need food from the following categories: Obst, Gemüse, Fleisch/Fisch, Milchprodukte, anderes, Getränke.
Here is what Sofia will need for the first two days of her Essensplan to give you an idea:
EinkaufslisteObst Erdbeeren Heidelbeeren

Before you write your list, let’s review the food categories.

Nikolaihof Wachau im Blickpunkt

Nikolaihof Wachau ist das älteste Weingut* in Österreich. Dort wird seit der Römerzeit, also seit etwa 2.000 Jahren, Wein gemacht. Es liegt im Wachau-Tal und hat alte römische und christliche Ruinen. Die Familie Saahs besitzt das Weingut heute und verwendet natürliche, biodynamische Methoden. Sie stellen Weine wie Riesling und Grünen Veltliner her.
Nikolaihof Wachau is the oldest winery* in Austria. People have made wine there since the Roman times over 2,000 years ago. It is in the Wachau Valley and has old Roman and Christian ruins. The Saahs family owns it now and uses natural, biodynamic farming methods. They make wines like Riesling and Grüner Veltliner.
*Nikolaihof Wachau is the oldest winery in terms of its inception, but Stift Klosterneuburg is the oldest continuously operating winery.
