Hallo alle zusammen!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned types of creative hobbies and how to say you like doing something. Let’s review what you have learned.

Lektionsüberblick

If you did not find (m)any of your hobbies in the previous lesson, you will hopefully find some in this one. Remember, we are presenting a large number of hobbies for two reasons: 1) You will hopefully find at least two of your hobbies (if not, contact your instructor!) and 2) you can begin to acquire a passive vocabulary of hobbies, i.e. that you are able to hear/read some of the words and recognize them as hobbies, even if you do not always remember what they mean exactly.

Because there are so many different kinds of hobbies, we will “only” cover sports in this lesson. (Lektion 4.7 introduced you to creative hobbies, Lektion 4.9 will introduce you to to online hobbies, and Lektion 4.10 to other hobbies and other free time activities). In the end, you will be able to 1) recognize different kinds of sports – Ballsport, Wassersport, Wintersport, anderer Sport -, 2) name one or more sports you participate in, and 3) name one or more sports you watch.

1) Sportarten

Österreich im Blickpunkt

Skifahren ist eines der bekanntesten Wintersportarten. Aber hast du gewusst, dass man in manchen Skigebieten auch im Sommer skifahren kann? Es handelt sich um Gletscherskigebiete vor allem in den Alpen. Viele dieser Skigebiete liegen in Österreich: In Hintertux (Gefrorene-Wand-Kees), Neustift (Stubaier Gletscher), Sölden (Rettenbach- und Tiefenbachgletscher), Kaprun (Kitzsteinhorn) und Mandarfen (Pitztaler Gletscher). Die anderen Alpensommerskigebiete liegen in Zermatt und Saas-Fee in der Schweiz, in Schnalstal in Italien, in Les Deux Alpes in Frankreich und in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Deutschland. Übrigens kann man auch auf den Gletschern in den USA im Sommer skifahren, wie z.B. auf der Gletscherroute im Grand-Teton-Nationalpark.

Skiing is one of the most well-known winter sports. But did you know that skiing can be a summer sport in some areas? Summer skiing is possible on some glaciers, especially in the Alps. Many of these ski regions are in Austria: In Hintertux (Gefrorene-Wand-Kees), Neustift (Stubai Glacier), Sölden (Rettenbach and Tiefenbach Glaciers), Kaprun (Kitzsteinhorn Glacier) und Mandarfen (Pitztaler Glacier). The other summer ski regions in the Alps are in Zermatt and Saas-Fee in Switzerland, in Schnalstal in Italy, in Les Deux Alpes in France und in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany. By the way, you can also summer ski on glaciers in the U.S.A., e.g. on Glacier Route in Grand Teton National Park.
