6.3 Weder Fisch noch Fleisch – oder doch?

Servus!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned to talk about vegetables. Let’s review what you have learned.

Jetzt bist du dran!

Let’s review veggies. Write two columns in your written journal (1. Ich esse gern… and 2. Ich esse… nicht gern) and answer the questions:

Welches Gemüse isst du gern?, naming a couple of your favorite vegetables in the first column.

Welches Gemüse isst du nicht gern?, naming a couple of your least favorite vegetables in the second.

Then record your lists in your audio journal. If you do not remember how to pronounce the words, review the previous lesson. If you want to challenge yourself, record complete sentences instead of lists, using the column headings.

Lektionsüberblick

If something cannot be clearly categorized, it is said to be weder Fisch noch Fleisch (neither fish nor meat – the English saying is neither fish nor fowl). We could also use these words to describe what a vegetarian eats. This lesson is all about different kinds of (in the US) typically consumed eiweißhaltige Lebensmittel (protein-rich foods) including fish, meat, other animal products, and other foods. In the end, you will be able to 1) recognize words for eiweißhaltige Lebensmittel among other food words, 2) name at least eiweißhaltige Lebensmittel that you like to eat, and 3) name at least one that you do not eat.

1) Eiweißhaltige Lebensmittel (Protein-rich foods)

Read and listen to the products in the presentation below. Again, you will see words that are strikingly similar to English, and a few other words as well.

Let’s practice. Be sure to click through to the second question.

 

Jetzt bist du dran!

Isst du Fleisch, Fisch, Milchprodukte, oder andere eiweißhaltige Lebensmittel? Write the proteins that you like to eat from above in your written journal.
Now record this in German in your audio journal. If you can do it immediately without reading, that’s great! Otherwise, practice saying it a couple times before recording. Or rerecord, if you are not satisfied.

2) Ich esse gern…

Welche eiweißhaltige Lebensmittel isst du gern? What protein-rich foods do you like to eat? Read and listen to the responses below.

Ich esse gern Hühnerfleisch. Ich esse gern Eier. Ich esse gern Käse.

 

Let’s practice.

 

Jetzt bist du dran!

Welches Eiweiß isst du gern? Welches Eiweiß isst du nicht gern? In your written journal, draw two columns. In the first column, write down the foods you have learned today that you like to eat. In the second column, write those foods that you do not like to eat.
Then record yourself reading your lists aloud in your audio journal. If you can do it immediately without reading, that’s great! Otherwise, practice saying it a couple times before recording. Or rerecord, if you are not satisfied.

 

Österreich im Blickpunkt

Stadtblick von Klagenfurt am Wörthersee

Klagenfurt am Wörthersee ist die sechstgrößte Stadt Österreichs und wird meist kurz Klagenfurt genannt. Sie liegt im Süden Österreichs, nahe der Grenze zu Slowenien. Klagenfurt liegt 446 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel und ist von Hügeln und Bergen umgeben.

Klagenfurt am Wörthersee is the sixth largest city in Austria and usually goes by the shortened name of Klagenfurt. It is located in southern Austria, near the border to Slovenia. Klagenfurt is 1,463 feet above sea level (446 meters) and is surrounded by hills and mountains.

 

3) Ich esse kein/e…

Perhaps there are foods that you do not eat at all. Do you remember the word that you put in front of a food that you don’t eat? See if you can spot it in the comic below.


Here are some other examples.

Ich esse keine Tierprodukte. Ich esse vegan.

Ich esse keine Nüsse. Ich habe eine Allergie gegen Erdnüsse.

Ich trinke keine Milch. Ich vertrage keine Milch. Ich habe eine Milchunverträglichkeit.

Let’s practice.

 

Jetzt bist du dran!

Welches Eiweiß isst du gar nicht? Are there any types of protein that you do not eat at all? If so, write those down in your written journal. Practice placing the word kein or keine in front of the food. You can look above at the different examples to see which form is used (kein or keine).

Then record yourself in your audio journal. It might sound like this: keine Nüsse, kein Fleisch 

If you can do it immediately without reading, that’s great! Otherwise, practice saying it a couple times before recording. Or rerecord, if you are not satisfied.

 

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned to 1) recognize words for eiweißhaltige Lebensmittel among other food words, 2) name at least eiweißhaltige Lebensmittel that you like to eat, and 3) name at least one that you do not eat. If you are feeling unsure about any part of the expanded introduction, go back to that section and review.
Now imagine you are on your study abroad to a German-speaking country and your new friend invites you to a vegetarisches Restaurant. What kinds of protein-rich foods do you expect to find there? Which ones will you not? Write your top choices down now in your written journal. Then record yourself reading your list of potential foods in your audio journal. Record your words until you feel satisfied.
