Was esst ihr zum Frühstück? Was isst man in eurem Land? (What do people eat in your country?)
Thursday at 9:24 pm
Vielen Dank für die Lektion und für mit der Plural anzufangen!!
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:

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.

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.

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!
Saturday at 7:48 pm
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.
Friday at 2:45 am
Werktags esse ich Ä?pfel zum Frühstück und trinke ich Kaffee. Samstags und Sonntags esse ich Porridge mit Marmelade oder Honig.

Another great lesson. But I have a question: In the lesson notes the last line is translated as I’ll make you…, which is future tense. However, in German the last line is written without using werden. Why then is the translation “I will make”? How do you know when to use werden and when it can be omitted?
On work days, I usually don’t eat breakfast before going to work; instead I will drink two to three cups of coffee in the morning and will sometimes have a banana and maybe a yogurt smoothie or a Pop Tart. On Saturdays I’ll have cereal with non-fat milk and a banana. On Sundays, I eat a big breakfast consisting of an omlette, or fried eggs, with fried potatoes, and toast or butter milk pancakes with maple syrup. And of course I’ll drink coffee. The breakfast of champions!

This is the implied future. In German, you can just use the present tense and imply the future whenever you are talking about something that is imminent (as in this case) or when you already mention the time in the sentence and the action is already in the planning stage, e. g.
Morgen gehe ich zum Frisör. - Tomorrow I’ll go to the hairdresser.
Dieses Jahr fliegen wir nach Mallorca. - This year we’ll fly to Mallorca [for a holiday].

Eine andere interesante Lektion
Aber ich denke dass das pädogogish System nicht so gut in Deutchland ist! Mit diese Podcast sagst du dass die wörter dass mit Konsonanter enden macht seinen Plural mit „er“. Dann zum beispiel hast du das Ei. Ist in Deutsch „i“ ein Konsonant!
Viele Grü?e (Ich liebe diese wort mit beide Umlaut und Essett)

Die meisten Wörter, die mit einem Konsonanten enden, bilden ihren Plural mit -er, z. B. Kind - Kinder. Aber nicht nur diese Wörter, auch ein paar andere, wie zum Beispiel Ei - Eier. Das heißt nicht, dass i ein Konsonant ist, sondern dass dieses Wort das gleiche Schema benutzt.
Liebe Grüße,
Judith

Great review tool…so happy to found this online. Just one question?
Ich mache dir….Why is the dative used here? Im not sure if that is the
indirect object….
Best regards und vielen dank!

Hi,
there is a mistake in one of the vocabulary list examples:
The word is ‘Pfannkuchen ( pancake )’
but the example sentence is
‘Ich nehme die Entschuldigung an.’
Thursday at 10:10 am
Hello Franck,
This is Jay from GermanPod101.com
We’re sorry for the slow response and the inconvenience that you had on this issue.
We’ve corrected the sample sentence for the word meaning ‘pancake’. Now you can see the sample sentence saying “Ich liebe Blaubeer-Pfannkuchen.” for the vocabulary.
Thank you.
