Guten Tag!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned how to describe your height and the length of your hair, nose, legs, etc. Let’s review what you have learned.

Lektionsüberblick

Of course, when you are describing a person, you could go into great detail, talking about “alabaster brows” and “hands veined like spiderwebs”. For our purposes, in this lesson, we will focus on the two body parts that are most commonly described: eyes and hair. In addition to their respective sizes, their description generally includes a color. Just like in English, there are some color words that are specific to eye and hair color (think: hazel green and blond). In the end, you will be able to talk about 1) your eyes, 2) your glasses, and 3) your hair.

1) Die Augen

You might recall learning about colors in the first unit. Let’s revisit the basic colors for a moment and then explore some additional eye colors.

Like English, we can build more specific colors. What do you think these eye colors mean?

2) Die Brille

Look at the image. Can you guess what eine Brille means?

Kleiner Hinweis Some words that are plural in  English (e.g. glasses, jeans, and pants) are singular in German. These words require the use of the word eine in front of the word.
