(Coming soon!)
In today’s lesson we learn about some of the most famous German spare time activities: clubs! No, not clubbing till you drop. More like soccer clubs, chess clubs or music clubs. And though you won’t believe it: Germans love them! You wouldn’t believe how many different kinds of clubs there are out there…
And we will also tell you a little about adjectives and possessive pronouns. If you master them, they will make your German all the more natural sounding. You wouldn’t want to miss that, would you?

I loved my judo club in Kamp-Lintfort, and Chuck and I both like to go to the Go club (a fascinating ancient strategy game). Also, we should probably join some kind of sports club because we’re gaining weight with all the great restaurants here in Berlin. Are you a member of any clubs?

I’m also a member of a Go club. Fascinating game indeed. 
Watching TV is a great way to learn a language. Since I live in Switzerland, I can watch several channels in German. Just listening for words and expressions I know is excellent practice.
I think the pdf for this lesson has some problems, the informal dialog is really the formal version again and there are lots of characters missing in the grammar section.

We were just experimenting with colors, so that similarities in the declensions would stick out more. Unfortunately it seems our PDF rendering engine is currently unable to process these correctly, causing all kinds of problems. I remove the colors and the PDF shows up nicely again. Thank you for your patience.

I’ve always wanted to learn to play chess very well, and be in a club, but unfortunately I just don’t have the time… Otherwise I belong to a golf “club” but there aren’t any real “club activities” or “club mentality” there . Belonging mainly means you get money off green fees and balls… We do have a yearly club dinner though.

I am in an animation club. What do we do? We gather once or twice weekly and sit down watching the most recent and popular Japanese anime for 2-4 hours. There are subtitles, but still good for learning some Japapese.
btw, the new pdf is so much better as I was totally lost with the old one.
