4.12 Wie lange machst du das schon?
Hallo alle zusammen!
Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.
Wiederholung
In the previous lesson, you learned how to express your talents and abilities. Let’s review what you have learned.
Imagine you are trying to impress someone with your talents. In your written journal write down the hobbies in German that come to mind that you can do well. Schwimmen? Kochen? Sticken? Mindcraft spielen? Then think about the important word you learned that indicates ability. Write that word now.
Lektionsüberblick
As you talk more about your hobbies and share your interests with potential new friends, you will likely want to ask and share how long and why you each practice your hobbies and other free time activities. This is particularly true for things you do well. In this lesson, we will take our previous knowledge about the length of relationships and apply it to our hobbies and other free time activities. In the end, you will be able to 1) talk about how long you have had/participated in your hobby/activity and 2) simply state why you like your hobby/activity.
1) Length of Hobby
Are you a newbie with your hobby or have you been doing your hobby for a long time? Notice how expressing how long you have done an activity in German is a little different than in English. Read the comic and see what you notice. Then listen to the audio and read the statements aloud.

Let’s practice!
Remember: You can ask the question back with “Und du?“
Jetzt bist du dran!
Frankfurt am Main im Blickpunkt
Die Kleinmarkthalle liegt im Zentrum von Frankfurt und ist eine überdachte Markthalle, also man kann dort auch bei Regen einkaufen. Sie wurde 1879 eröffnet und hat heute mehr als 150 Stände, die Obst, Gemüse, Käse, Fleisch, Fisch, Brot, Gewürze und viele andere Spezialitäten aus aller Welt verkaufen. Es ist ein beliebter Ort für Einheimische und Touristen, weil man hier die regionale Küche probieren kann, zum Beispiel Frankfurter Würstchen oder Handkäse mit Musik.
The Kleinmarkthalle is located in the center of Frankfurt and is a covered market hall, so you can shop there even when it’s raining. Opened in 1879, it now has more than 150 stalls selling fruit, vegetables, cheese, meat, fish, bread, spices, and many other specialties from all over the world. It’s a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, offering a chance to sample regional cuisine, such as Frankfurter sausages or Handkäse mit Musik (music-style hand cheese).
2) Saying why you like your hobby
Whether or not someone asks you, Warum machst du dein Hobby gern? (Why do you enjoy your hobby?), we often talk about what we like about our hobbies and other free time activities, when we talk about our hobbies. What are your reasons? Listen to and read their statements about their free time activities, hear the question about why they enjoy that activity, and then listen to and read their responses.
Let’s practice!
