Lena and Michael are saying goodbye. After 25 lessons, you can no longer be called a newbie, and so this series is making space for a new upper-beginner or lower-intermediate series that will lead you further. Today though, join us for a review of a lot of things that you learned in German!
Passau ist eine sehr schöne Stadt in Bayern, die es sich auf jeden Fall zu besuchen lohnt. Falls Sie - zum Beispiel zum Oktoberfest - nach Bayern reisen, machen Sie doch einen Abstecher nach Passau! Diese Lektion ist Teil von GermanPod101s Miniserie über Bayern.
Passau is a very beautiful city in Bavaria, which is definitely worth a visit. If you are traveling to Bavaria, for example for the Oktoberfest, why not take a detour and have a look at Passau! This lesson is part of GermanPod101’s mini-series about Bavaria.
What’s next? That’s exactly the question John and Michaela are going to tackle in todays lesson.
The two are planning the next day. Will they finally get to the sightseeing?
Just in case we are going to give 6 useful tips on sightseeing in Germany. Among them are going to be as valuable informations as to how to get around in a city, why “Einbahnstraße” is not a valid street name, which questions you shouldn’t ask your host family and which German food you have to try.
And among all this we are also going to cover the German word “könnte” and the difference between “essen” and “Essen”.
We’ve listened to you! Here finally we are presenting a Rammstein song: Sonne. The German words are quite easy and the song is very repetitive in a way, but it’s still open to a lot of interpretations and speculations. Grammar-wise we will look at some intermediate usages of numbers, and the culture section is dedicated to German school grades.
Listen to today’s song on Youtube. This is a song that should not be missing in any Rammstein fan’s collection, so if you like it, buy it from Amazon.com. International visitors will have to go to 7digital instead.
Your friend was supposed to be here ages ago. You wait and wait and wait, getting more annoyed by the minute, but there is still no sign of him. Finally he shows up and explains that first his wife wouldn’t let him go, then the dog stole the car keys, the car was out of gas, the gas station was being held up by robbers… at that you pick up and you want to tell him to stop taking you for a fool, to finally tell you the truth! Except how to do that in German? Find out in this lesson!
Also learn the German month names and see what the big deal is with Swiss German. GermanPod101 makes learning German easy and fun!
