It’s breakfast time! John and Michaela are home alone and Michaela prepared a traditional German breakfast. What do you think it will entail? You can learn a lot of German words related to food from this beginner lesson, and we will be looking at German plurals! For Chuck, German plurals were a scary topic in his German class, but GermanPod101 makes them look easy.

Was esst ihr zum Frühstück? Was isst man in eurem Land? (What do people eat in your country?)

Vielen Dank für die Lektion und für mit der Plural anzufangen!! :wink:

Ich möchte auch Pfannkuchen zum Frühstück haben… das ist eine gute Idee. Normalerweiser, ich habe Bröchten, Jogurt, Käse, Nutella (sehr ungebräuchlich) oder Kuchen zum Frühstück.

Ich trinke keinen Kaffee oder Milch, weil ich mag die nicht. Wenn ich etwas trinke, das ist Saft oder Wasser.

Sorry for my terrible German,… it’s been a while I don’t practice!

João, your German is not terrible at all. You made few mistakes. Here’s the corrected text - let me know if you’d prefer not to get corrections:

Vielen Dank für die Lektion und dafür, dass ihr mit dem Plural angefangen habt!! :wink:

Dan, kudos on catching the accent. It’s not easy to spot for non-natives. Of course “John” isn’t German. John is supposed to be Michaela’s American penfriend.

:lol: I really am enjoying your lessons (all of them)! Keep up the good work. I will be listening a lot as I travel from Tully, NY, USA, to Mobridge, SD, and then on to Oshkosh, WI, USA. I will look forward to coming home and downloading any new lesson podcasts. Thanks so much for the opportunity to learn and hear German.

Personally, I find it very helpful that we have Judith (a native speaker) and Chuck (an American and native English speaker). Chuck says things the way I would, but I’m trying to make my pronunciation closer to Judith’s. Chuck is proof that even if my pronunciation isn’t with a German accent, I can one day be understood. In fact, I asked my mom today “Was gibt es zum Frühstück?” and she understood me. :grin:

I’m going to attempt this…

fruhstuck…ich esse die ieer und Brotchen. Ich trinke milch.

Since I come from a german heritage we sometimes have coffee cake too. Thanks for the lesson!

avatar GermanPod101.com says:

Rachie, what you said was very good. Note however that “Eier” doesn’t require an article, it’s indefinite. Like in English, you wouldn’t say “I eat the eggs” but simply “I eat eggs”. So that’s “Ich esse Eier und Brötchen. Ich trinke Milch.”

If you’re not sure how to type the Umlaut characters ä, ö and ü, there’s a thread in the forum explaining how to do it on a regular American keyboard.

Werktags esse ich Ä?pfel zum Frühstück und trinke ich Kaffee. Samstags und Sonntags esse ich Porridge mit Marmelade oder Honig.
