Hallo allerseits!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned how to say how often you wear a color and how to say colored items that you wear. Let’s review what you have learned.

For today’s lesson it’s also important that we review Lieblingsfarben. Do you remember this word? Review with the questions below (be sure to click through to each question).

Lektionsüberblick

In this lesson, we will expand and conclude our conversation about clothing to talk our favorite clothing and what kinds of things we like to wear. In the end, you will be able to 1) name some of your favorite items of clothing, 2) name some clothing you like, and 3) name some clothing you do not like.

1) Meine Lieblingskleidung

By adding the term Lieblings-, you can be quite versatile with words when you want to indicate that something is your favorite. Let’s look at some examples.

Das ist mein Lieblingspullover.
Das sind meine Lieblingsschuhe.
Das ist mein Lieblings-T-Shirt.

2) Das gefällt mir.

You might remember in Unit 1, you learned how to say, I like…in relation to the Laramie Murals. We can use this same structure for talking about Kleidungsstücke that we like (or don’t like). Look at the image and then the question and answer next to it.

Let’s practice saying we like things! Remember to use this as your template:

3) Das gefällt mir nicht

You might remember the little word nicht from previous lessons (e.g. Ich bin nicht faul. Ich bin nicht glücklich.). If nicht negates, what do you think the following sentences mean?

Das Kleid gefällt mir nicht. 

Die Jacke gefällt mir nicht.

Let’s practice.

You can watch this short video for more examples of mir gefällt/mir gefallen (nicht).

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned to to 1) name some of your favorite items of clothing, 2) name some clothing you like, and 3) name some clothing you do not like. If you are feeling unsure about any part of the expanded introduction, go back to that section and review.

Was ist deine Lieblingskleidung? This time answer the question by describing your favorite item of clothing. Use Julia’s answer as a model: Mein Lieblingsrock ist weiß mit rosa Herzen.

Now look at Lukas’, Lena’s, Matthias’ clothing and answer the following questions for one of them: Was gefällt dir? Was gefällt dir nicht? (Remember that to talk about plural clothing like shoes and socks you use ‘gefallen‘.)

Record yourself in your audio journal. Rerecord please, if you are not satisfied.
