1.4 Meine Lieblingsfarbe

Hallo zusammen!

Let’s warm up with our daily small talk (Tagesminiplausch) and a brief review (Wiederholung).

Wiederholung

Practice what you learned last week by completing this memory game.

 

Jetzt bist du dran!

In your written journal or in your audio journal, introduce yourself. Try to include a greeting, your name, your pronouns if desired, how to spell your name (audio only), and your age.

Lektionsüberblick

In this lesson, we will expand our introductory conversation. In the end, you will be able to 1) name some colors and 2) say what your favorite color is.

1) Name some colors

Learning the colors (die Farben) might seem like kid stuff, but it is an important skill for expressing your preferences, clothes, and the world around you. Learn the colors in these interactive ways.

 

Key Takeaways

Ampelmännchen, ein Symbol Berlins

Das Ampelmännchen ist die kleine Figur in den Fußgängerampeln der ehemaligen DDR. Es trägt einen Hut und zeigt „Stopp“ oder „Geh“. Heute ist es ein Symbol Berlins und man findet es bei allen Berliner Ampeln sowie auch auf Souvenirs.

The Ampelmännchen (Ampel Man) is the small figure used in pedestrian crossings in the former GDR. It wears a hat and indicates “stop” or “go.” Today, it is a symbol of Berlin and can be found on all Berlin pedestrian crossings as well as on souvenirs.

2) How to say what your favorite color is

Jetzt bist du dran!

Listen to Sara introduce herself. Then, in your written or audio journal, answer Sara’s question and tell what your favorite color is. You can answer with one word. Or, if you are feeling confident, you can say, Meine Lieblingsfarbe ist [insert favorite color].

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned to say 1) name some colors and 2) say what your favorite color is. If you are feeling unsure about any part of the expanded introduction, go back to that section and review.
Now write out where you live and what your favorite color is and then record yourself 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.

*As you conclude this lesson, don’t forget to check Canvas!*
