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?

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!
