When visiting German-speaking friends, you may find yourself left out in conversations if you don’t have one vital skill: to engage in extended small talk. Not just the typical “How are you?” or introducing yourself, but actually having a somewhat meaningful conversation about what is happening in your life, at work or at school.
In this newbie lesson (the 50th GermanPod101 lesson, woohoo!) you will learn how. Join Michael and Lena as they chit-chat in German at the café Antabli! You will also learn another really useful German verb: müssen. Don’t miss this lesson!
In today’s lesson we tackle some German dishes. Did you know that only very few tourists try German food, because there are so many alternatives? In this lesson we give you a few hints where to start your culinary journey. And you will hear why Michael isn’t happy about a dish called “Pfannkuchen”. Grammar-wise, this lesson is a review lesson, looking at the verb haben again and delving more into the many great ways of using it.
Do you intend to survive on German streets? John is about to be run over by a bicyclist. To make sure this won’t happen to you, this lesson provides you with some really important insights into the German traffic system. Besides, you’ll learn the German verb haben (to have). Don’t miss this if you’re planning to go to Germany!
If you’ve ever taken a plane to Europe, you know that jet lag is not a tourist’s friend. In this lesson, John is suffering from it. Join him and Michaela as they debate what to do, and learn what’s so great about German residential areas! GermanPod101 brings to you another fun lesson full of authentic German.
If you don’t want to risk facing severe weather conditions in less than optimal clothing, you have to know how to talk about the weather in German. Besides, the weather is also a nice small-talk topic for when you are tongue-tied in face of beauty. And there’s a lot of beauty in Germany. Join John on his explorations with GermanPod101!
GermanPod101 teaches you the real thing: authentic modern German as you will hear it all across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This lesson will focus on the German future tense and on vocabulary related to the weather, though of course you will also just build your ability to have a conversation in German. To get the full dosis of real German, be sure to study the accompanying PDF and the exercises in the Learning Center as well!
