4.6 Wann und wo ist der Spaß?

Hallo allerseits!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned to talk about having fun and different activities you can do for fun. Let’s review!

Lektionsüberblick

With our previous lesson, we started learning how to make plans with friends. We can now answer “Was machen wir?” In this lesson, we will learn how to answer “Wann treffen wir uns?” (When will we meet?) and “Wo treffen wir uns?” (Where will we meet?) In the end, you will be able to make plans with friends by being able to 1) understand questions about meeting times and respond with times of the day and 2) days of the week, and 3) understand questions about meeting locations and respond.

1) Wann treffen wir uns? – Saying times in a day

Read, listen, and repeat the question being asked.

Here are some possible responses.

2) Wann treffen wir uns? – Saying days

Read, listen, and repeat the question again.

Knowing the days of the week is crucial to making plans. See if you can remember the days of the week based on interacting with the Tagesminiplausch each day.

Similar to English, you can add the word am in front of any day of the week  (e.g. am Freitag = on Friday). You can also say am Wochenende (on the weekend)!

Now listen to the days of the week in the video. Pay careful attention as you will be asked to say them aloud in your audio journal.

Salzburg im Blickpunkt

   Die Bergputzer sind eine kleine Berufsgruppe, die die Felswände der Hausberge Salzburgs nach lockerem Gestein und anderen Gefahren absucht und säubert. 1574 wurde der Berg erstmals von verbliebenem Lockergestein befreit. Am 16. Juli 1669 lösten sich riesige Felsmassen vom Mönchsberg und zerstörten mehrere Gebäude. Es kamen 230 Menschen ums Leben. Nach dem Sturz fanden die Überprüfungen öfter statt. Heute überprüfen die Bergputzer jedes Jahr circa 300.000 m² Fels. Dabei müssen Wurzeln junger Bäumchen sowie Büsche zurückgeschnitten, damit die Spalten und Klüften nicht vergrößert werden.

The Bergputzer (=mountain cleaners) are a small professional group who search and clean the rock faces of Salzburg’s local mountains for loose rock and other dangers. In 1574 the mountain was cleared of loose rock for the first time. On July 16, 1669, huge masses of rock broke off the Mönchsberg and destroyed several buildings. 230 people were killed. After this tragedy, the cleaner checks took place more frequently. Today, mountain cleaners check around 300,000 m² (358,797 yd²) of rock every year. The roots of young trees and bushes must be cut back so that the gaps and fissures are not enlarged.

3) Wo treffen wir uns? – Naming meeting locations

Read, listen, and repeat the question being asked.

Here are some possible responses. Using what you know…
