Guten Tag!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned to discuss differences between German and American Frühstück and some food items you might eat in America and Germany. Let’s review what you have learned.

Lektionsüberblick

In both Germany and in the US, we typically talk about having three square meals a day (drei anständige Mahlzeiten), breakfast (Frühstück), lunch (das Mittagessen), and dinner (das Abendessen). As we saw in Lektion 6.5, there are differences between what a traditional breakfast looks like in each country. The midday and evening meals present even bigger differences. Traditionally, Germans eat eine warme Mahlzeit (a warm meal) at the midday meal and eine kalte Mahlzeit (a cold meal) in the evening – the reverse order of the typical American diet.

This lesson will focus on die kalte Mahlzeit, often called Brotzeit (=bread time), because Germans typically have bread with cold cuts and cheeses for dinner. In the end, you will be able to 1) recognize words for die kalte Mahlzeit, 2) say when you eat your kalte Mahlzeit, and 3) say what you typically eat for your kalte Mahlzeit.

1) die kalte Mahlzeit 

What foods might be included in die kalte Mahlzeit? Look below for some words you know, as well as new ones. Which words are similar to English? Be sure to click through to the second slide.

2) Ich esse mittags/abends kalt.

Do you ever eat a cold meal for lunch or dinner?  Remember the words from past lessons that you have learned to describe frequency. Review those below. Be sure to click through each slide. There are two sets of arrows.

3) Ich esse… mittags/abends

Was isst du mittags? Was isst du abends? What do you regularly eat for lunch? For dinner? Let’s talk specifics now. Look at the examples below. – This lesson is focusing on the kalte Mahlzeit. Lektion 6.8 will focus on warme Mahlzeiten (warm meals)

Ich esse einen Salat mittags.	Ich esse ein belegtes Brot abends.	Ich esse eine Suppe mittags.

 Let’s practice.

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned to 1) recognize words for die kalte Mahlzeit, 2) say when you eat your kalte Mahlzeit, and 3) say what you typically eat for your kalte Mahlzeit.

 

Now look at the image and write down in your written journal any words that you associate with the picture: foods, colors, flavors, meal times, etc.
