Hallo allerseits!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned to describe your typical Monday tasks and your typical Saturday tasks. Let’s review what you have learned.

Read and listen to the text. Then complete the activity that follows.

Am Samstag schlafe ich aus. Ich frühstücke um 12hr mit Freunden. Ich gehe um 13.30 ins Kino oder ich spiele Basketball. Ich muss nachmittags lernen. Ich muss um 17hr zur Arbeit gehen. Ich esse um 20hr zu Abend. Ich gehe um 23.30 ins Bett.

Let’s practice with the text.

Lektionsüberblick

On very work-heavy days, we may often think of all of the things we would rather be doing. In this lesson, we will talk about our ideal day and what things we would plan for the day, if we had no obligations. In the end, you will be able to 1) say which things that you want to do, 2) say which things that you do not want to do, and 3) imagine your ideal day.

1) Ich will…

Wie sieht dein idealer Tag aus? What does your ideal day look like?
Was willst du machen? What do you want to do?
The German word for want is a false friend, meaning it looks just like an English word but it does not mean the same thing. This might take some getting used to. Read and listen to the comic below and then practice this useful word (and false friend).

Let’s practice.

2) Ich will nicht…

When thinking about your ideal day, it’s important to consider the things that are not on your list of ideal activities. Was willst du nicht machen? What do you NOT want to do? Read and listen to the comic below.

Let’s practice.

3) Mein idealer Tag

Read about Charlotte’s ideal day. Is it similar to yours?

	Ich will um 10 Uhr aufstehen. Ich will um 10:30 mit Freunden frühstücken. Ich will um 12hr Siedler von Catan mit meinen Freunden spielen. Ich will um 15hr mit meinem kleinen Bruder ins Kino gehen. Ich will um 18hr mit meiner Familie zu Abend essen. Ich will um 20hr mit meinen Freunden zocken. Ich will um 22hr ausgehen. Ich will um 0hr ins Bett gehen.

Innsbruck im Blickpunt – Der Alpenzoo

Der Alpenzoo Innsbruck is the highest zoo in Europe and has the world’s largest collection of alpine animals – approximately 2,000 animals call this zoo home. The zoo’s primary goals are the conservation and rehabilitation of the various alpine species, including the alpine salamander, whose numbers are decreasing. Der Alpenzoo is situated in the 15th century Schloss Weiherburg.

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned to 1) say which things that you want to do, 2) say which things that you do not want to do, and 3) imagine your ideal day. If you are feeling unsure about any part of the expanded introduction, go back to that section and review.

Now look at the pictures below. What would each of these people say they want to do on their perfect day? Build an “Ich will…” or “Ich will nicht…” sentence for each picture.
