Zum Aufwärmen machen wir unseren Tagesminiplausch und eine Wiederholung.

Wiederholung

In the previous lesson, you learned how to recognize words for Nachtisch and say what you typically eat for Nachtisch. Let’s review what you have learned.

Lektionsüberblick

In Lektionen 6.6 and 6.8, we saw some examples of typical warm and cold meals in German-speaking countries. As you can imagine, those examples are not representative of all Germans, Austrians, Swiss, etc. The fact that Germany and its surrounding countries are becoming increasingly multicultural coupled with the European love of travel, it is no wonder that there is a wide variety of cuisines in countries like Austria and Germany. This lesson will present you with some of this variety and encourage you to investigate more on your own. In the end, you will be able to 1) say that you are hungry and thirsty, 2) recognize a variety of cultural cuisines, and 3) list what kinds of food you want to eat.

1) Hunger und Durst haben (Hunger and thirst)

Listen to and read along with the following comic. What can you understand?

Let’s practice! Sort the food and drinks into the correct category.

2) die Vielfalt der Küchen (the variety of cuisines)

The melting pot of the US has already brought many kinds of foods together that are considered American foods. What if you want to specify that there is a certain kind of food you like to eat? Read through the following presentation for a small number of cuisines.

Norddeutschland im Blickpunkt

Die Kieler Woche ist eine jährlich stattfindende Segelregatta, die seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in Kiel ausgetragen wird. Sie gilt als eines der größten Segelsportereignisse der Welt und wird mit jährlich mehreren Millionen Besuchern durch das größte Sommerfest Nordeuropas begleitet. Als maritimer Höhepunkt gilt die Windjammerparade am letzten Samstag der Festwoche, an der mehr als 100 Groß- und Traditionssegler, historische Dampfschiffe sowie Hunderte von Segelyachten teilnehmen.

The Kiel Week or Kiel Regatta is an annual sailing event in Kiel that first began at the end of the 19th century. It is considered to be one of the largest sailing events globally, and also the largest summer festivals in Northern Europe, attracting millions of people every year. The Tall Ships Parade on the last Saturday of  the Kiel Week is a maritime highlight. More than 100 tall and traditional ships, historical steamboats as well as hundreds of sailing yachts.

3) Ich will…essen. (I want to eat…)

Look at the comic again. Do you understand what the woman is asking?

Did you guess that she is asking “Do you want to eat turkey?” The part that means “want” (=willst) looks a lot like the English “will”, but does not mean the same thing! “Ich will” means “I want”.

Talking about what you want to eat uses phrasing that, once again, demonstrates how important it is to begin to think in German instead of saying German words while thinking English ones. Look at the following examples.

Let’s practice!
