Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to make and discuss plans in German?
Welcome to Three Step German Practice by GermanPod101.com. In this lesson, you'll practice using Wollen wir + [verb phrase]? to make suggestions or invite someone to do something together.
Let's look at the main dialogue.
Two people are having a conversation.
Aylin, wir sind jetzt in Hamburg. Hast du Lust, den Hafen zu besuchen?
"Aylin, we're now in Hamburg. Do you feel like visiting the harbor?"
Ja, gerne. Wann wollen wir losgehen?
"Yes, sure. When should we head out?"
In this lesson, you learned how to make plans in German with the structure
Wollen wir + verb phrase?
It literally means "Do we want to …?"
but in everyday German it works like "Shall we…?" or "How about we…?."
Remember that when we use wollen as a modal verb, the second verb stays in the infinitive and moves to the end of the sentence.
Now let's practice using Wollen wir in different situations to suggest activities.
