Gerrman. And, I promise, tomorrow night, if he asks us for a phrase we want to translate, I will ask him how you say 'Your hat is nice for Fraggles.'

Plurals! Which apparently the secret to plurals is just to learn them as you go, along with gender articles. Bah. Stupid gendered noun languages.

Hören Sie zu.
Listen to the description of David’s room (or make shit up). Indicate how many of the listed objects he has in his room. (And since I do have the CDs now, I could listen to it. Or I could make shit up. Which actually now that I look at the exercise means substituting … oh, hell. I’ll just make shit up.) Random association of articles and endings ahoy!

1. der Tisch
2. das Bett
3. die Pflanze
4. die Stühle
5. die Lampen
6. der Computer
7. das Bücherregal
8. die Bücher
9. die Bilder
10. die Poster
11. das Telefon
12. die Fenster

Now listen to the description again. (Or, again, make shit up.) This time complete the description of the objects according to what you have heard.

1. Der Tisch ist alt.
2. Die Pflanze ist auch alt.
3. Die Stühle sind (what‘s a good German word for ‘comfy’…) nett.
4. Der Computer ist neu.
5. Das Telefon ist schwarz.
6. Die Fenster sind groß.

Was ist hier los? Talk about the people and things in a small town in Germany. Use the plural.
1. Garten / sein / klein – Die Gärten sind klein.
2. Straße / sein / alt – Die Straßen sind alt.
3. Nachbar / sein / nett – Die Nachbarn und Nachbarinnen sind nett.
4. Kind / spielen / gern – Die Kinder spielen gern.
5. Frau / arbeiten / viel – Die Frauen arbeiten viel.
6. Mann / arbeiten / auch viel – Die Männer arbeiten auch viel.
7. Junge / spielen / gern / Fußball – Die Jungen spielen gern Fußball.


Iiii really need to do something at some point about my to-write list. One of the things on there is done, at least in theory, but I can't post it until I finish the prequel piece at least, which is much longer. So. Do I wait and post them both and then cross it off or do I cross it off now or... decisions. Meh.


Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!
