Learn German with GermanPod101.com! You are in Germany having a wonderful time learning the German culture and language. After having the yummy ice cream at the Reichstag, you decide to indulge yourself after your supper. You find the only ice cream parlor on the same block as your hotel. You go into the German ice cream parlor and order the same flavors that you did earlier. The only problem is, since your hotel is in the middle the German city of Berlin, you may enjoy the ice cream, but your view will not be as pleasant as at the Reichstag. Sitting at a table outside of the German ice cream parlor, a girl approaches you and asks you in German, “What kinds of ice cream did you get?” As you look up at the girl that spoke to you, you realize that your view of the city just got a whole lot better. You ask her to join you and then begin a German conversation with her. Who knows…maybe you’ll get together again for more German ice cream.

The use of Gern(e)…. I also understand you can say, Ich mochte ( I would like ) or Ich mochte gern (which is MORE polite??) Is this accurate?? oris this the American take on the use of gern.

Judith says:

“Ich möchte gern” can be said but it’s not so common. “Ich hätte gern” is the common phrasing which really can’t do without the “gern”.

I was just teaching a student today about “gern(e) with moechten & haetten. If you use the subjunctive + gern(e) it sounds almost too polite, though this can be used to great comedic effect.

Hi,
interesting lesson about the plural types as it’s important in German to know the gender and the plural form of the nouns.
But then why don’t the flashcards include these forms :roll: ??? I find them useless if I cannot learn the words with their gender and plural form! Also why not showing them in the ‘Vocabulary List with Audio’ and ‘Expansion with Audio’ sections?

there is an glitch in the vocabulary list, the audio for ‘Kugel’ is ‘Eis’.

Hi Franck,

We always thank you for your comments : )

As for the plural forms, let us consider your idea as for next development of Flashcards. Any ideas that would help you and other listeners, please let us know anytime : )

As for the audio, we’ve found the audio file was not correct for the word “Kugel”. You’ll be able to see the correct audio file soon.

Thank you.
