4.6 Wann und wo ist der Spaß?

Hallo allerseits!

Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned to talk about having fun and different activities you can do for fun. Let’s review!

Jetzt bist du dran!

Was macht dir Spaß? Answer the question in your written journal, choosing the activities from above that you enjoy doing.

Lektionsüberblick

With our previous lesson, we started learning how to make plans with friends. We can now answer “Was machen wir?” In this lesson, we will learn how to answer “Wann treffen wir uns?” (When will we meet?) and “Wo treffen wir uns?” (Where will we meet?) In the end, you will be able to make plans with friends by being able to 1) understand questions about meeting times and respond with times of the day and 2) days of the week, and 3) understand questions about meeting locations and respond.

1) Wann treffen wir uns? – Saying times in a day

Read, listen, and repeat the question being asked.

Here are some possible responses.

 

Jetzt bist du dran!

Wann treffen wir uns? Imagine you are making plans with a friend to meet. Answer the question in your written journal, writing down a time from above that works for you to meet.
Record your answer in your audio journal. Practice saying the phrases a couple times before recording.

2) Wann treffen wir uns? – Saying days

Read, listen, and repeat the question again.

Knowing the days of the week is crucial to making plans. See if you can remember the days of the week based on interacting with the Tagesminiplausch each day.

Kleiner Hinweis

In some areas of German-speaking Europe, you can hear Sonnabend in place of Samstag.

Similar to English, you can add the word am in front of any day of the week  (e.g. am Freitag = on Friday). You can also say am Wochenende (on the weekend)!

 

Now listen to the days of the week in the video. Pay careful attention as you will be asked to say them aloud in your audio journal.

 

Jetzt bist du dran!

Today’s practice is focused on learning to say the days of the week. In your written journal, write down the words for the days of the week.
Then prepare to use your audio journal. Before you begin listen to the video above to hear how to say each day. Then record yourself saying each day in your audio journal. If you can do it immediately, that’s great! Record until you are satisfied. Take it a step further by adding am before each day (am Montag, am Dienstag, etc.) as heard in the second half of the video.

 

Frankfurt am Main im Blickpunkt

city forest
Der Frankfurter Stadtwald

Frankfurt am Main hat den größten Stadtwald in Deutschland. Er ist etwa 48 Quadratkilometer groß und liegt direkt neben der Stadt und dem Flughafen. Viele Menschen gehen dort spazieren, fahren Fahrrad oder beobachten Tiere wie Rehe, Füchse, und verschiedene Vogelarten.

Frankfurt am Main has the largest urban forest in Germany. It covers approximately 48 square kilometers and is located right next to the city and the airport. Many people go there for walks, ride bikes, or observe animals such as deer, foxes, and various bird species.

3) Wo treffen wir uns? – Naming meeting locations

Read, listen, and repeat the question being asked.

Here are some possible responses. Using what you know…

 

 

Jetzt bist du dran!

Wo treffen wir uns? Where do you like to meet friends? Choose two of the locations above and write them in your journal.

 

Zum Schluß

In this lesson, you learned 1) understand questions about meeting times and respond with times of the day and 2) days of the week, and 3) understand questions about meeting locations and respond. If you are feeling unsure about any part, go back to that section and review.
Think about the plans you are making or will make to meet with friends this week. Write out your conversation in German to discuss what you will do (from the last lesson) and when (#1 and #2) and where (#3) you will meet.
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.
