Do you know how to describe something in terms of its good and bad qualities in German? |
You'll learn how in just a moment. |
Hi, my name is Lara, and this is Three Step German by GermanPod101.com. |
In this lesson, you'll learn how to describe something in terms of its good and bad qualities using simple adjective phrases in the present tense through a quick conversation. |
Let's look at the dialogue. |
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds. |
Mats, dieser Tennisball wirkt hart. Ist er nicht zu fest? |
Nein, er ist weich und springt gut. |
Klingt gut. Ist er teuer? |
Ein bisschen, aber die Qualität ist sehr gut. |
Let's hear it with the English translation. |
Mats, dieser Tennisball wirkt hart. Ist er nicht zu fest? |
"Mats, this tennis ball seems hard. Isn't it too firm?" |
Pay attention to the next sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson. |
Nein, er ist weich und springt gut. |
"No, it's soft and bounces well." |
Klingt gut. Ist er teuer? |
"Sounds good. Is it expensive?" |
Ein bisschen, aber die Qualität ist sehr gut. |
"A bit, but the quality is very good." |
