| Let's practice. |
| Imagine you're Mark's colleague, Benjamin Bauer. |
| You have a wife and a daughter. |
| Respond to Mark’s question referring to the photo. |
| Don’t forget to include the word for "yes" at the beginning of your response. |
| Ready? |
| Ist das deine Familie? |
| Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Meine Frau, meine Tochter und ich. |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Meine Frau, meine Tochter und ich. |
| Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Meine Frau, meine Tochter, mein Sohn, und ich. |
| Let’s try another. |
| Imagine your Mark's boss, Annemarie Adler. |
| You have a husband, daughter and son. |
| Ready? |
| Ist das Ihre Familie? |
| Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Mein Mann, meine Tochter, mein Sohn, und ich. |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Mein Mann, meine Tochter, mein Sohn, und ich. |
| Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Mein Mann, meine Tochter, mein Sohn, und ich. |
| Let’s try one more. |
| Imagine you're Mark's friend, Gundel Gundermann. |
| You have a husband and a son. |
| Ready? |
| Ist das deine Familie? |
| Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Mein Mann, mein Sohn und ich. |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Mein Mann, mein Sohn und ich. |
| Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Mein Mann, mein Sohn und ich. |
| Did you notice how Mark uses deine Familie when asking about his friend’s and colleague’s families? |
| Ist das deine Familie? |
| "Is this your family?" |
| In less formal situations, like speaking with a friend or close colleague, the less formal, deine, is more appropriate. |
| deine, "your." deine (enuciated). deine. |
| Note: Deine is feminine and singular to agree with Familie. |
| This is the end of this lesson. |
