Learn German with GermanPod101.com! After exchanging your money at a German currency exchange, you see a sign for a German tour that you really want to go on. Checking the time, it is somewhat earlier than you would normally be up and about, so maybe a wakeup call wouldn’t be a bad idea. Approaching your German hotel’s front desk, you request a wakeup call for the next morning. You tell the receptionist in German, “I shall need to be woken up at seven in the morning please.” After thinking about it for a moment, you correct yourself in German and say, “Let’s make it six thirty instead, please.” Missing this tour because you couldn’t wake up would really upset you. You want to do as much as possible while in this beautiful country.

Even in Germany the media are full of news about the American elections, but what about elections in Germany? The next federal election is coming up in 2009, with some smaller elections in-between, so it can’t hurt to learn some basics about the German democracy already. By the way, if you ever wondered what issues Germans debate about in a German election (not nearly the same as in the states!) or which German party would best reflect your beliefs, try the Wahl-O-Mat. It’s an independent, well-researched site that will ask you questions about important campaign issues and match your answers with those of German party leaders and party programs. They do this for every major German election, not just the federal level, with the hope of increasing participation in the elections.

Learn German with GermanPod101.com! Now you have friends in Germany…so what are you going to do with them? You are anxious to see some of the city before you have to start school at the German university, and definitely before you have to start working! So you call them up on the phone and ask if they want to spend the day showing you around town. They are excited to do something fun and you all decide to meet at the park around the corner. When you arrive, your friends ask in German, “Do you like to play any sports? We could play around at the park for a while…or maybe head to the gym.” You played a lot of sports back home, but as much as you have studied German, you didn’t learn how to talk about sports.

But now they know the game you are playing – charades! The next one you try to act out is a tennis player hitting a ball. And you thought soccer took a long time to guess?! By the time you get through acting out soccer, tennis, golf, and basketball – and they teach you the German words for these sports, you are so worked out you just want a nap.
