Welcome to Deutschite. Today we begin our complete German A1 review. In this video, we will review the most important things you need at A1 level. We will go through grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, daily situations, and simple speaking practice. Everything will be explained slowly and clearly in English with useful German examples. So do not worry if German still feels new to you. We will build everything step by step from letters to words to sentences and then to real communication. So get comfortable, listen carefully, and let's start this German A1 journey together. We will begin with the German alphabet and the basic rules for reading simple German words. We start with the alphabet because reading is the first door into the language. In this part, we will look at the basic German letters. The German alphabet has 26 basic letters. These are the same letters you already know from English. A, B, T, A, F, G, H, E, Y, J, C, L, N, O, P, C, S, T, U, F, V, X, Upsilon. So the letters look familiar. That is good news. But here is the important point. Some German letters do not sound exactly like English letters. The shape is the same, but the sound can be different. That is why from the beginning we train both your eyes and your ears. When you learn German, do not only look at the word, listen to the sound, too. This will help you read more clearly later. Now, let's look at one very helpful idea. German is often pronounced as it is written. This means when you see a German word, you can often read it in a clear and direct way. Let's try some easy words. Demama. Demama means mom. Dama. Dama means name. D banana. D banana means banana. Dampa. Dampa means lamp. These words are simple. You can see the letters and you can hear the sounds clearly. This is very useful for beginners. But remember, do not rush. Read slowly. Give every letter its space. German likes clear pronunciation. So when you read, keep it slow, clear, and simple. Now we need to look at four important letters. These letters are easy to see, but beginners often read them the English way. The first letter is V. In German, V sounds like F. For example, das Vasa. Dvasa means water. Listen again. Dvasa. The next letter is F. In many German words, F sounds like F. For example, der Vater. Der Vater means father. Listen again. Der Vater. Now look at Y. In German, Y sounds like Y in English. For example, ja. Ja means yes. And finally, we have T. In German, T sounds like T. For example, die Zeit. Zeit means time. So remember, V sounds like F. F often sounds like F. Y sounds like Y and T sounds like T. These four letters will help you read many German words correctly. Great. Now let's do a short reading practice. I will say a German word. Listen first, then repeat it slowly. Hallo. Hallo means hello. Dama. Dama means name. Dasvasa. Dvasa means water. Der Vater means father. Ja. Ja means yes. Die Zeit. Die Zeit means time. Der Bus. Der Bus means bus. Very good. Now you know the German alphabet and you have learned some basic reading rules. You also know that some German letters sound different from English. That is a strong start. And now that we have opened the first door into German reading, we are ready to continue with the special German sounds ä, ö, and ü. So let's move on slowly and clearly. Now that we know the basic German alphabet, let's continue with some special German sounds. These sounds are very important because they appear in many simple German words. In this part, we will look at ä, ö, ü, ß, ch, sch, ei, au, and el. Some of these letters may look familiar, but the sound can be very different. So today, we will not rush. We will listen slowly. We will read carefully and we will connect each sound with simple German examples. Remember, good pronunciation does not start with speaking fast. It starts with listening well. So, keep your ears open and let's continue with the special sounds of German. First, let's look at the three umlauts. In German, we have ä, ö, and ü. They look like normal letters, but with two small dots on top. These two dots change the sound. The first one is ä. You can hear it in the word Mädchen. Mädchen means girl. You can also hear it in Bär. Bär means bear. Now listen to this sound is very German. You hear it in schön. Schön means beautiful. And you hear it in Öl. Öl means oil. Now we have ü. You hear it in Tür. Tür means door and fünf means five. So remember ä and ü are not decoration. They change the sound of the word. Now let's continue with ß, ch, and sch. The letter ß is called Eszett. It usually sounds like a strong s. For example, Fuß. Fuß means foot and Straße. Straße means street. Now look at ch. This sound can feel new for many beginners. You hear it in ich. Ich means I and you hear it in Buch. Buch means book. Do not worry if it feels strange at first. Just listen and repeat slowly. Now look at sch. This one is easier. It sounds like sh in English. For example, Schule means school and Fisch. Fisch means fish. So we have ß, ch, and sch. Small sounds but very important for German reading. Now let's look at four common letter combinations. The first one is sp. At the beginning of many German words, sp often sounds like shp. For example, Spiel means game and sprechen means to speak. Now look at st. At the beginning of many German words, st often sounds like sht. For example, Stadt means city and stehen. Stehen means to stand. Now we have ei. In German, ei sounds like the English word I. For example, Eis. Eis means ice cream and mein. Mein means my. Finally, look at ie. In German, ie sounds like ee. For example, Liebe. Liebe means love and sieben. Sieben means seven. So remember sp, st, ei, and ie are very common in simple German words. Great. Now let's finish with two more useful sounds. au and o. In German, au often sounds like oi. For example, deutsch. Deutsch means German and heute. Heute means today. Now look at o. It often has the same sound as a. For example, Haus. Haus means house. So au and o can sound very similar. Now let's practice all the sounds from this part. Schüler, Spiel, Eis, Liebe, Deutsch, hören, hören. Very good. Now you have seen the most important special sounds for German reading. You do not need to master everything today. Just start recognizing them. When you see them, pause, listen, and read slowly. Next, we will start building our first simple German sentences with personal pronouns like ich, du, er, sie, and es. Nice start. Great. Now that we know some basic German sounds, we can start building our first simple German sentences. And to build sentences, we need people. Who is speaking? Who are we talking to? Who are we talking about? For this, we need personal pronouns. Personal pronouns are words like I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. In German, these words are very important because the verb changes depending on the pronoun. So today we will learn the basic German pronouns. We will look at ich, du, er, sie, es, wir, ihr, Sie, and sie. And we will also learn one very important difference. Du and Sie. Both can mean you, but they are not used in the same situation. So let's go slowly and let's make this clear from the beginning. Let's start with the singular pronouns. Singular means one person or one thing. In German, we say ich. Ich means I. For example, Ich lerne Deutsch. This means I am learning German. Now we have du. Du means you when we speak to one person in an informal way. For example, Du lernst Deutsch. This means you are learning German. Now we have er. Er means he. For example, Er lernt Deutsch. This means he is learning German. Then we have sie. Sie means she. For example, Sie lernt Deutsch. This means she is learning German. And finally, es means it. For example, Es ist gut. This means it is good. So remember, ich means I, du means you, er means he, sie means she, es means it. These are the first pronouns you need for simple German sentences. Now let's look at the plural pronouns. Plural means more than one person or more than one thing. The first one is wir. Wir means we. For example, Wir lernen Deutsch. This means we are learning German. Next we have ihr. Ihr means you all. When
00:27
Speaker A
slowly and clearly in English with useful German examples. So do not worry if German still feels new to you. We will build everything step by step from letters to words to sentences and then to real communication. So get
00:47
Speaker A
comfortable, listen carefully and let's start this German A1 journey together. We will begin with the German alphabet and the basic rules for reading simple German words. We start with the alphabet because reading is the first door into the language. In this part, we will look
01:09
Speaker A
at the basic German letters. The German alphabet has 26 basic letters. These are the same letters you already know from English. A bay t a f g ha e y yacht ca l n o p c s t u fa v x oopsilon
01:52
Speaker A
So the letters look familiar. That is good news. But here is the important point. Some German letters do not sound exactly like English letters. The shape is the same but the sound can be different. That is why from the
02:08
Speaker A
beginning we train both your eyes and your ears. When you learn German, do not only look at the word, listen to the sound, too. This will help you read more clearly later. Now, let's look at one very helpful idea. German is often
02:28
Speaker A
pronounced as it is written. This means when you see a German word, you can often read it in a clear and direct way.
02:36
Speaker A
Let's try some easy words. Demama. D mama means mom. Dama. Dama means name. D banana. D banana means banana. Dampa.
02:54
Speaker A
Dampa means lamp. These words are simple. You can see the letters and you can hear the sounds clearly. This is very useful for beginners. But remember, do not rush. Read slowly. Give every letter its space. German likes clear
03:14
Speaker A
pronunciation. So when you read, keep it slow, clear, and simple. Now we need to look at four important letters. These letters are easy to see, but beginners often read them the English way. The first letter is v. In German, v sounds
03:35
Speaker A
like v. For example, das vasa. Dvasa means water. Listen again. Dvasa. The next letter is fa. In many German words, fa sounds like f. For example, deaf.
03:55
Speaker A
Deaf means father. Listen again. Deaf. Now look at yacht. In German, yacht sounds like y in English. For example, ya. Ya means yes. And finally, we have set. In German, set sounds like t. For example, detite. Dite means time. So
04:25
Speaker A
remember, v sounds like v. Fa often sounds like f. Yacht sounds like y and tet sounds like t.
04:38
Speaker A
These four letters will help you read many German words correctly. Great. Now let's do a short reading practice. I will say a German word. Listen first, then repeat it slowly. Hollow. Halo means hello. Danama. Danama means name.
05:00
Speaker A
Dasvasa Dvasa means water. Dehat means father. Ya. Ya means yes. Dite dite means time. Deus. Deus means bus.
05:20
Speaker A
Very good. Now you know the German alphabet and you have learned some basic reading rules. You also know that some German letters sound different from English. That is a strong start. And now that we have opened the first door into
05:37
Speaker A
German reading, we are ready to continue with the special German sounds eeta and es. So let's move on slowly and clearly. Now that we know the basic German alphabet, let's continue with some special German sounds. These sounds are very important because they appear
06:05
Speaker A
in many simple German words. In this part we will look at e u estet say ha esta s pay est e a a u and el. Some of these letters may look familiar, but the sound can be very
06:37
Speaker A
different. So today, we will not rush. We will listen slowly. We will read carefully and we will connect each sound with simple German examples. Remember, good pronunciation does not start with speaking fast. It starts with listening well. So, keep your ears open and let's
07:01
Speaker A
continue with the special sounds of German. First, let's look at the three um llouts. In German, we have E, and U. They look like normal letters, but with two small dots on top. These two dots change the sound. The first one
07:25
Speaker A
is E. You can hear it in the word maidshen. Maidshen means girl. You can also hear it in bear.
07:38
Speaker A
Bear means bear. Now listen to this sound is very German. You hear it in shern.
07:49
Speaker A
Shern means beautiful. And you hear it in means oil. Now we have u you hear it in t means door and inf means five. So remember e and u are not decoration. They change the sound of the word.
08:25
Speaker A
Now let's continue with estet saya and esta. The letter estet is called estet. It usually sounds like a strong s. For example fouse.
08:43
Speaker A
Fouse means foot and means street. Now look at saya. This sound can feel new for many beginners.
08:57
Speaker A
You hear it in. I means I and you hear it in b. B means book. Do not worry if feels strange at first. Just listen and repeat slowly. Now look at this one is easier. It sounds like sh in
09:22
Speaker A
English. For example, shula means school and fish. Fish means fish. So we have esteta and esta.
09:40
Speaker A
small sounds but very important for German reading. Now let's look at four common letter combinations. The first one is espe at the beginning of many German words es often sounds like h pay. For example, means game andreenhen means to speak. Now look at est at the
10:13
Speaker A
beginning of many German words. S often sounds like s ch. For example, [snorts] means city and stan.
10:28
Speaker A
Stan means to stand. Now we have a e. In German ae sounds like the English word I. For example, ice.
10:42
Speaker A
Ice means ice cream and mine. Mine means my. Finally, look at ea. In German ea sounds like e e. For example, liba.
11:00
Speaker A
Lieba means love and zeben. Zeben means seven. So remember espe a e and e a are very common in simple German words.
11:19
Speaker A
Great. Now let's finish with two more useful sounds. a u and e in German au often sounds like oi. For example, deutsch.
11:35
Speaker A
Deutsch means German and ho. Ho means today. Now look at it often has the same sound as a for example ho.
11:51
Speaker A
Hoa means houses. So a u and e can sound very similar. Now let's practice all the sounds from this part.
12:14
Speaker A
Schuler, spiel, ice, liber, deutsch, hoer, hoer. Very good. Now you have seen the most important special sounds for German reading. You do not need to master everything today. Just start recognizing them. When you see them, pause, listen, and read slowly. Next, we will start
12:45
Speaker A
building our first simple German sentences with personal pronouns like, do e, z, and v.
12:58
Speaker A
Nice start. [music] Great. Now that we know some basic German sounds, we can start building our first simple German sentences. And to build sentences, we need people.
13:16
Speaker A
Who is speaking? Who are we talking to? Who are we talking about? For this, we need personal pronouns. Personal pronouns are words like I, you, he, she, it, we, and, and they. In German, these words are very important because the
13:42
Speaker A
verb changes depending on the pronoun. So today we will learn the basic German pronouns. We will look at ish, do, a, z, s, via, e, z and z. And we will also learn one very important difference. Do and z. Both can mean you, but they are
14:14
Speaker A
not used in the same situation. So let's go slowly and let's make this clear from the beginning.
14:24
Speaker A
Let's start with the singular pronouns. Singular means one person or one thing. In German we say if. I means I. For example, lana.
14:42
Speaker A
This means I am learning German. Now we have do. Do means you when we speak to one person in an informal way.
14:55
Speaker A
For example, do lanced deutsch. This means you are learning German. Now we have a means he. For example, Deutsch. This means he is learning German.
15:17
Speaker A
Then we have Z. Z means she. For example, Zant Deutsch. This means she is learning German. And finally, s means it. For example, sist this means it is good. So remember means I do means you. E means he. Z
15:53
Speaker A
means she. S means it. These are the first pronouns you need for simple German sentences.
16:05
Speaker A
Now let's look at the plural pronouns. Plural means more than one person or more than one thing. The first one is via. Via means we. For example, via lan.
16:24
Speaker A
This means we are learning German. Next we have means you all. When we speak to more than one person in an informal way, for example, Deutsch, this means you are learning German. But here we are talking to two
16:47
Speaker A
or more people. Now we have Z. Z can also mean they. For example, Z lannin Deutsch. This means they are learning German. Be careful. Z can mean she and Z can also mean they.
17:09
Speaker A
The meaning depends on the sentence. And finally we have Z with a capital S. Z means you in a formal way. For example, z lannon deutsch. This means you are learning German but this is polite and formal. So now we have via means we. IA
17:37
Speaker A
means you all. Z means they. Z means formal you. Very good. Now the pronouns are starting to become more complete.
17:52
Speaker A
Now we need to understand one very important difference. Do and Z both can mean you but they are not used in the same situation. We use do with friends, family, children, classmates or people we know well. For example, hello Anna
18:16
Speaker A
via. Here we use do because Anna is someone familiar. But we use Z in formal situations. For example, with a teacher, a doctor, a stranger, or in a shop. For example, guten tag visi.
18:37
Speaker A
This means good day. What is your name? Here Z is polite and formal. So remember do is friendly and informal. Z is polite and formal. This is very important in German culture. If you are not sure, Z is usually safer. Later when the
19:02
Speaker A
situation becomes friendly, people may say via that means we can use do. But at A1 level, just remember do for informal, Z for formal.
19:19
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice all the personal pronouns together. Listen first, then repeat slowly. If I do, you he via we you all, Z, they Z, formal U. Now let's use them in simple sentences.
19:57
Speaker A
Deutsch I am learning German. Do lanc you are learning German. Lant he is learning German. Z lant deutsch.
20:11
Speaker A
She is learning German. via lannon deutsch. We are learning German. Z lannon deutsch. They are learning German. And now formal z lannon deutsch.
20:27
Speaker A
You are learning German. Very good. Now you know the basic German personal pronouns. You also know the difference between do and z. This is a big step because in the next part we will use these pronouns with one of the most
20:47
Speaker A
important verbs in German zine. That means to be. So, let's continue step by step.
20:57
Speaker A
Great. Now that we know the German personal pronouns, we can use them with one of the most important verbs in the German language. This verb is zine.
21:09
Speaker A
Zine means to be. In English we say I am, you are, he is, she is, we are, and they are. In German, we also need this verb all the time. We use zine when we talk about names, jobs, age,
21:33
Speaker A
nationality, feelings, and simple descriptions. For example, bin. This means I am Anna or muda. This means I am tired. So today we will learn how to use zine with the German personal pronouns. Do not worry.
21:58
Speaker A
Zine is a very common verb. So you will hear it again and again. Let's learn it slowly, clearly, and with simple examples.
22:10
Speaker A
Let's start with the basic forms of zine. With we say means I am for example here. This means I am here. With do we say doist means you are for example doistn net.
22:36
Speaker A
This means you are nice. With e we sayist. Aist means he is. For exampleist mud. This means he is tired. With z we say zist.
22:58
Speaker A
Zist means she is. For example zist. This means she is friendly. With s we say sist.
23:12
Speaker A
Sist means it is. For example, sist good. This means it is good. So remember, dubist, eist, zist, sist. These are the singular forms of z.
23:34
Speaker A
Now let's look at the plural forms of zine. With via we say via zint. Viazent means we are. For example via zint here.
23:49
Speaker A
This means we are here. With we say zite. Means you are when speaking to more than one person informally.
24:03
Speaker A
For example, zike schnell. This means you are fast. Now we have z meaning they with z we say zz zint. Zint means they are. For example, zz zint mud. This means they are tired. And finally we have Z with a
24:32
Speaker A
capital S. This is the formal U. With formal Z we also say zint. For example zint znet.
24:45
Speaker A
This means you are very nice formal. So remember via zintz zint zint. Good. Now you know the most important forms of the verb zine.
25:05
Speaker A
Now let's use zine with simple A1 sentences. First listen, then repeat slowly. Bin Anna. I am Anna. Do Omar. You are Omar. We can also use Z with jobs.
25:27
Speaker A
I am a teacher. She is a doctor. Student he is a student. We can use Z with nationality or country.
25:44
Speaker A
I am from Egypt. Deutseland. You are from Germany. And we use zine with age. This is very important in German. We do not say I have 20 years. We say this means I am 20 years old. So remember this sentence well.
26:16
Speaker A
In German age uses zine not habin. This is a very common beginner mistake. So, learn it correctly from the beginning.
26:28
Speaker A
Great. Now, let's practice z with simple descriptions. Listen first, then repeat slowly. [bell] I am tired.
26:43
Speaker A
You are friendly. He is sick. Z is net. She is nice. S is good. It is good. Vint.
26:59
Speaker A
We are ready. You are loud. Z. They are happy. And formal zint. You are friendly. Formal. Very good. Now you know how to use the verb zine with the German personal pronouns. You can now say who someone is, where someone is
27:27
Speaker A
from, what someone's job is, how old someone is, and how someone feels. This is a very big step in German A1. Next, we will learn another very important verb, habin. Hobin means to have and with zine and hobin together you can
27:50
Speaker A
build many useful German sentences. So let's continue step by step. [music] Great. Now that we know the verb zine, we can learn another very important German verb. This verb is haben.
28:14
Speaker A
Hobin means to have. In English we say I have, you have, he has, she has, we have, and they have. In German, we use habin very often. We use it when we talk about things, family, time, hunger, thirst, and many everyday situations.
28:41
Speaker A
For example, This means I have a book or this means I am hungry. Literally in German we say I have hunger. So habin is not only about objects. It is also used in many common German expressions. Today we will learn how to use habin with the
29:11
Speaker A
German personal pronouns. We will go slowly, clearly, and with simple A1 examples. Let's start with the singular forms of habin. With we say means I have. For example, this means I have a book with do we say do
29:45
Speaker A
means you have for example do this means you have time with a we say a hot means he has for example eot hunga. This means he is hungry. With z we say zhat. Zi hot means she has. For
30:14
Speaker A
example, zhot doest. This means she is thirsty. With s we say es hot. Eshot means it has. For example, es hotam.
30:31
Speaker A
This means it has a name. So remember, do zhat eshot. These are the singular forms of habin.
30:48
Speaker A
Now let's look at the plural forms of hobin. With via we say viahin. Viahabin means we have. For example, via this means we have time. With we say hopped. Hopped means you have when speaking to more than one person
31:16
Speaker A
informally. For example, hopped out. This means you have a car. Now we have Z meaning they. With Z we say zhabin.
31:32
Speaker A
Zhabin means they have. For example, zhabin kinda. This means they have children. And finally we have Z with a capital S. This is the formal U. With formal Z, we also say zhabin.
31:53
Speaker A
For example, This means you have an appointment formal. So remember via hopped zhabin zhabin.
32:10
Speaker A
Good. Now you know the most important forms of the verb habin. Now let's use habin in real A1 situations. Listen first then repeat slowly.
32:28
Speaker A
I have a book. You have time. He is hungry. She is thirsty. We have an apartment.
32:52
Speaker A
You have a car. They have children and formal you have an appointment. Formal. Now let's practice the negative form.
33:13
Speaker A
I do not have time. I do not have money. Tasha, she does not have a bag. Very good. Now you know how to use hobin with German personal pronouns. You can talk about things, family, time, hunger, thirst, and simple everyday situations.
33:40
Speaker A
And now you know two of the most important verbs in German. Zine to be and habin to have. Next, we will start working with regular verbs in the present tense. So, let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we know the two
34:00
Speaker A
very important verbs, zine to be and habin to have, we can start working with regular German verbs in the present tense. In German, the present tense is called presence. Presence means present tense. Today we will learn how to use
34:21
Speaker A
simple regular verbs like leen min and abetin. Lean means to learn. Min means to do or to make. Von means to live when we talk about where someone lives. And aben means to work. These verbs are very useful at A1 level because they help you
34:50
Speaker A
talk about your daily life. For example, this means I am learning German or in Cairo. This means I live in Cairo.
35:05
Speaker A
The important thing is this in German the verb changes depending on the pronoun. So we do not only say lannon we say lana do louned e z s l and so on.
35:24
Speaker A
Don't worry regular verbs follow a clear pattern and today we will learn that pattern slowly and clearly. Let's start with the basic idea. Most regular German verbs end in n. For example, lanin, mahin, vonin, and abeton. To use the
35:47
Speaker A
verb with a pronoun, we usually remove n. Then we keep the verb stem. For leen, the stem is le. For m, the stem is mach.
36:00
Speaker A
For von, the stem is v. And then we add the correct ending. Withh we add e. So learn I learn. With do we add st. So do louned. You learn. With air z and s we add t. So a lant zant
36:29
Speaker A
and s lamp. With via we add n. So via len we learn with we add t. So l you all learn and with z or formal z we add n.
36:48
Speaker A
So z lann and z lann. The full pattern is I e do s t a z s t via n e t z and z n. This is one of the most important patterns in German A1. Now let's
37:14
Speaker A
practice the pattern with the verb lan. Lannin means to learn. Listen carefully. L I learn. Do louned. You learn. A l He learns. Z l she learns. Slant it learns.
37:36
Speaker A
V lannon we learn. I l you all learn. Z lannon they learn. And z lannon you learn. Formal. Now let's use lann in simple A1 sentences lana de I am learning German loun English you are learning English langam he is learning slowly via
38:11
Speaker A
we are learning together very good now let's look at mah mah means to do or to make.
38:23
Speaker A
I am making coffee. You are doing homework. He is doing sports. We are taking a break. So remember and follow the same regular pattern. Now let's continue with two more useful verbs. Vonyen and abeton.
38:54
Speaker A
Vonyen means to live when we talk about where someone lives. For example vony in Berlin. I live in Berlin. Do von in Hamburg. You live in Hamburg.
39:10
Speaker A
V in Munin. He lives in Munich. via vonin in Deutseland. We live in Germany.
39:19
Speaker A
So vonin is a normal regular verb. Now let's look at abeton. Aeton means to work. This verb is also regular but there is one small detail.
39:33
Speaker A
Because the stem ends with t, we need an extra sound in some forms. So we say a by I work. Do a by test. You work. A by t he works. Z a by t she works. Via a by
39:55
Speaker A
10 we work. A by t you all work. Z a by 10 they work. And z a by 10 you work. Formal.
40:08
Speaker A
Look carefully. Do a by test, not do a by test. And e a by t, not a a by tet.
40:19
Speaker A
The extra e makes the word easier to pronounce. This happens with verbs like aon. So remember, abeton is regular, but it needs a small pronunciation helper in some forms. Great. Now let's practice regular verbs in simple A1 sentences.
40:40
Speaker A
Listen first then repeat slowly. Lana Deutsch. I am learning German. Do lounel you are learning fast.
40:53
Speaker A
Mafe. He is making coffee. Z housein. She is doing homework. Via von in Cairo. We live in Cairo.
41:07
Speaker A
V in Berlin. You live in Berlin. Z a working today. And Zon here. You work here. Formal. Very good.
41:23
Speaker A
Now let's remember the regular verb endings again. Ish ends with e. Do ends with st. E. Z S end with T. Via ends with N. IA ends with T. Z and Z end with N. With this pattern you can use many
41:47
Speaker A
regular German verbs. Now you can say what you learn, what you do, where you live, and where you work. This is a very important step for building real German sentences. Next, we will continue with word order in simple German sentences.
42:06
Speaker A
We will learn where the verb goes and how to build clear sentences in German.
42:12
Speaker A
So, let's continue step by step. [music] Great. Now that we know regular German verbs in the present tense, we can look at some very common verbs that do not follow the pattern perfectly. These verbs are called irregular verbs.
42:35
Speaker A
Irregular means the verb changes in a special way. Do not worry. At A1 level, you do not need to learn every irregular verb at once, but you do need some very common ones. Today we will look at fen,
42:54
Speaker A
leen, zen, essen and non. Faren means to drive or to go by vehicle. Leen means to read. Zen means to see.
43:12
Speaker A
Means to speak. Essen means to eat. and non means to take. These verbs are very useful in daily German. The important thing is this. In many irregular verbs, the change happens mainly with do and with e z.
43:35
Speaker A
For example, we do not say do fast. We say do fast. And we do not say at least.
43:45
Speaker A
we say at least. So today we will learn these verbs slowly, clearly and with simple examples.
43:59
Speaker A
Let's start with the first two irregular verbs favven and len means to drive or to go by vehicle. The basic forms are I drive, you drive, he drives, z she drives, s it drives.
44:27
Speaker A
Ven, we drive. You all drive. Zen, they drive. Zen, you drive. formal. Look carefully. With do we say do and with air z we say the vowel changes a becomes air. For example this means I am going to Berlin.
45:07
Speaker A
This means you are going by bus. Now let's look at len. Lazen means to read.
45:15
Speaker A
The important forms are laser I read. Do least you read. A least he reads. Z least she reads. Ven we read least. You all read. Z len they read. Zen you read formal for example this means I am reading a book
45:51
Speaker A
this means he is reading a message. So remember becomes do and leen becomes do least and a least.
46:12
Speaker A
Now let's continue with two more important verbs and zen means to see. The basic forms are z, I see, doz, you see, zit, he sees, zit, she sees, zit, it sees, via zen, we see, e zit, you all
46:43
Speaker A
see, zen, they see, zen, you see, formal Look carefully. Zen changes to do and for example this means I see the carb this means you see the bus. Now let's look at means to speak. The basic forms are
47:19
Speaker A
I speak. You speak, he speaks. She speaks. We speak. You all speak. They speak.
47:40
Speaker A
You speak. Formal. For example, I speak German. English. She speaks English. Here the vowel changes. E becomes e. So remember zen becomes doist and becomes andre.
48:10
Speaker A
These verbs are very common. So you will hear them again and again. Now let's look at two verbs you will use all the time. Essen and non. Essen means to eat. The basic forms are is I eat. Doist,
48:37
Speaker A
you eat. Eist. He eats. Zist she eats. Viaen we eat. Est you all eat. Zen they eat zen.
48:55
Speaker A
You see formal for example I am eating bread. Pizza he is eating pizza. Now let's look at non. Nan means to take. The basic forms are I take do nimst you take he takes zy she takes via non we take
49:29
Speaker A
name you all take z neon they take z ne you take formal for example I take the bus. Z n taxi. She takes a taxi. Via nan cafe. We take a coffee. Or more naturally, we will have a coffee.
49:56
Speaker A
Look carefully. Neman changes a lot with do and with a z s. We say do nymphed. A nymph. Z nymph. So remember essen becomes doist and aist. Neman becomes do nymphst and an nymph.
50:27
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice the irregular verbs together. Listen first then repeat slowly. Berlin, I am going to Berlin.
50:42
Speaker A
You are going by bus. He is reading a book. We are reading together. I see the car.
51:00
Speaker A
You see the bus. I speak German. English. She speaks English. I am eating bread.
51:16
Speaker A
Pizza. He is eating pizza. I take the bus. Zim taxi. She takes a taxi. Very good. Now remember the big idea. With many irregular verbs, the special change happens mainly with do and with e, z, s. But with i, via, e i
51:46
Speaker A
z, and formal z, the verb often looks closer to the regular pattern. So do not try to memorize everything at once.
51:56
Speaker A
Start with the most useful forms. For example do least least doist do nimsty. These forms will help you understand and speak many simple German sentences.
52:20
Speaker A
Next, we will continue building clear German sentences and learn more about word order. Where does the verb go? How do we make a simple sentence? We will make it clear step by step.
52:34
Speaker A
Great. Now that we know some important German verbs, regular verbs, and irregular verbs, we can start building clear German sentences. Today we will learn basic German sentence structure.
52:50
Speaker A
This means how do we put words in the correct order? In English, we often say subject, verb, object. For example, I learn German. In German, we can also start with this simple pattern. For example, deutsch. This means I am learning
53:11
Speaker A
German. Here is the subject. Lea is the verb. Deutsch is the object. So, the basic idea is subject, verb, object. But German has one very important rule. In a normal statement, the verb usually comes in position two. This is very important.
53:34
Speaker A
Not position one, not position three, position two. Today we will learn this slowly with simple examples so your German sentences start to sound clear and correct. Let's start with the easiest sentence pattern. subject, verb, object. The subject is who does the
53:56
Speaker A
action. The verb is the action and the object is the thing or the person that receives the action. For example, Deutsch. This means I am learning German. I is the subject. Lana is the verb. Deutsch is the object. Another
54:16
Speaker A
example. This means you are doing homework. Do is the subject. M is the verb. House offgobin is the object. Now look at vasa. This means he drinks water.
54:35
Speaker A
Is the subject is the verb. Vasa is the object and zb. This means she is reading a book. So remember a very simple German sentence can be subject verb object. This is a strong basic pattern for A1.
54:58
Speaker A
Now let's look at the most important rule for German word order. In a normal statement, the verb is in position two.
55:07
Speaker A
Position two means the second idea in the sentence. For example, position one. Position two lana.
55:18
Speaker A
Position three deutsch. So the verb is second. Another example via von in Cairo. This means we live in Cairo.
55:29
Speaker A
Position one via position two von. Position three in Cairo. The verb is second. Now look at cafe. This means he is making coffee.
55:43
Speaker A
Position one e position two m position three cafe. Again the verb is second. This rule is very important in German.
55:55
Speaker A
When you build a normal statement always look for the verb. Ask yourself is the verb in position two? If yes your sentence is probably on the right track.
56:07
Speaker A
Now, German becomes a little more flexible. Sometimes we do not start the sentence with the subject. We can start with a time word or a place or another idea, but the verb still stays in position two. For example,
56:26
Speaker A
this means today I am learning German. Position one. Position two lana. Then comes. So notice we do not say that is not correct. We say the verb stays second. Another example.
56:51
Speaker A
This means tomorrow I work. Position one Morgan position two. Then comes. Another example in Bin Anna. This means Anna lives in Berlin or more naturally in Berlin. Anna lives. Here in Berlin is position one. V won't is position two.
57:16
Speaker A
Anna comes after the verb. So remember if something comes first, the verb still comes second. This is a key rule in German. Great. Now let's practice simple German sentence structure. Listen first then repeat slowly.
57:37
Speaker A
I am learning German. You are doing homework. Vasa he drinks water. She is reading a book. Via in Cairo. We live in Cairo. Now listen to sentences that start with time.
58:01
Speaker A
Today I am learning German. Tomorrow I work. In the evening I read a book. Very good.
58:14
Speaker A
Now remember the big rule. In normal German statements, the verb comes in position two. If the subject is first, we say.
58:26
Speaker A
If a time word is first, we say the verb stays second. This rule will help you build clear German sentences.
58:37
Speaker A
Next, we will continue with questions in German. We will learn how to ask yes or no questions and simple W questions like vas, vo, van, and v. So, let's continue step by step.
58:56
Speaker A
[music] Great. Now that we know basic German sentence structure and we know that the verb usually comes in position two in normal statements, we can now learn how to ask simple questions. Today we will learn yes or no questions. A yes or no
59:20
Speaker A
question is a question you can answer with yes or no. For example, in English we can ask are you tired? Do you have time? Are you learning German? In German, these questions are very important. At A1 level, we will practice
59:40
Speaker A
questions like this means are you tired. This means do you have time and this means are you learning German? The most important rule is this in a German yes or no question the verb comes first not second first. So in a normal
60:08
Speaker A
sentence we say do best mud. This means you are tired. But in a question we say this means are you tired. So today we will learn how to make simple German questions slowly and clearly. Let's start with yes or no questions using the
60:31
Speaker A
verb sign. Sign means to be. In a normal sentence we say doist muda. This means you are tired. The verb is b. Now to make a yes or no question, we put the verb first. So we say bistuda.
60:53
Speaker A
This means are you tired? Statement. Doistmuda. Question. Bistuda. Look carefully. Statement. Doistmuda. Question. Bistuda. The verb moves to the front. Another example is this means he is sick. Question this means is he sick? Another example.
61:24
Speaker A
This means she is a teacher. Question. This means is she a teacher. Now with vints we are ready. Question this means are we ready. So remember with sign questions the verb comes first.
61:53
Speaker A
Very good. This is the first question pattern. Now let's make yes or no questions with the verb habin. Habin means to have. In a normal sentence we say do hastite. This means you have time. To make a question we put the verb
62:14
Speaker A
first. So we say this means do you have time? Statement. Doite. Question. Very simple. The verb comes first.
62:28
Speaker A
Another example, this means he is hungry. Literally, he has hunger. Question, this means is he hungry. Another example, this means she is thirsty. Question.
62:49
Speaker A
This means is she thirsty. Now with formal c This means you have an appointment formal question.
63:03
Speaker A
Do you have an appointment formal? So remember these are very common German A1 questions and when you answer you can say yeah yes or nine no. For example, This means yes, I have time. Now, let's use regular verbs in yes or no
63:32
Speaker A
questions. Remember, in a normal statement, the verb is in position to for example. This means you are learning German. But in a yes or no question, the verb comes first. So we say lance this means are you learning German
63:56
Speaker A
statement do question lance. Now another example in Cairo this means you live in Cairo question in Cairo this means do you live in Cairo. Another example this means you are working today.
64:21
Speaker A
Question this means are you working today and do houseg this means you are doing homework. Question do houseg this means are you doing homework. So the pattern is verb subject rest of the sentence. Lance Deutsch.
64:51
Speaker A
This is a very useful pattern when you want to ask a simple yes or no question in German. Start with the verb. Great.
65:01
Speaker A
Now, let's practice yes or no questions together. Listen first, then repeat slowly. Duda, are you tired?
65:13
Speaker A
Are you ready? Is he sick? Is she a teacher? Do you have time? Is he hungry?
65:29
Speaker A
Is she thirsty? Do you have an appointment? Formal lance. Are you learning German in Cairo? Do you live in Cairo?
65:45
Speaker A
Are you working today? Are you doing homework? Very good. Now remember the big rule. In normal German statements, the verb comes in position two. For example, do lance de. But in yes or no questions, the verb comes first. For example, lance deutsch. You
66:10
Speaker A
can answer with yes or nine no. For example, this means yes, I am learning German or nine English. No, I am learning English. Very good. Now you can ask simple German yes or no questions. Next we will continue
66:37
Speaker A
with W questions. These are questions with words like vas, v, van, v, and v.
66:46
Speaker A
So, let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we know how to ask yes or no questions in German, we can continue with another very important type of question. Today, we will learn W questions. W questions are questions
67:05
Speaker A
that begin with question words. In German, many question words also start with W. For example, there, vas, v, v, vhin, v van, v v, and v.
67:30
Speaker A
These words help us ask for specific information. For example, this means who are you?
67:44
Speaker A
This means what are you doing? Vu. This means where do you live? These are not yes or no questions. You do not answer only with yah or nine. You answer with information. For example, in Cairo, this means where do you live? I live in
68:13
Speaker A
Cairo. The important rule is this. In German W questions, the Wword comes first and the verb comes second. So, the pattern is Wword, verb, subject, and the rest of the sentence. For example, vonto.
68:35
Speaker A
Vo is the question word. Von is the verb. Do is the subject. So today we will learn these question words slowly and clearly with simple A1 examples.
68:51
Speaker A
Let's start with two very common W questions. Ve and vas there means who. We use there when we ask about a person. For example, this means who are you? Another example is this means who is that? You can answer
69:19
Speaker A
is Anna. This means that is Anna. Now let's look at vas. Vas means what.
69:29
Speaker A
We use vas when we ask about a thing, an action or information. For example, this means what are you doing? You can answer this means I am learning German. Another example is this means what is that? You can answer
69:57
Speaker A
this means that is a book. So remember there means who vas means what and in both questions the verb comes second there.
70:13
Speaker A
This is the basic structure of German W questions. Now let's look at three question words about place and direction. The first one is VO. VO means where. We use VO when we ask about a location. For example, V.
70:36
Speaker A
This means where do you live? You can answer in Cairo. This means I live in Cairo.
70:45
Speaker A
Another example is this means where is the train station. Now we have v. V means where from. We use v when we ask about origin. For example, this means where are you from? You can answer Al egyptin. This means I come from Egypt
71:16
Speaker A
or more naturally I am from Egypt. Now look at vhin. Vhin means where to.
71:25
Speaker A
We use vhin when we ask about direction. For example, this means where are you going? You can answer this means I am going home. So remember vo means where. Ver means where from.
71:48
Speaker A
Vhen means where to. These three words are very useful for daily German. Now let's continue with three more important W questions. Van, v and vum.
72:06
Speaker A
Van means when. We use van to ask about time. For example, this means when do you work? You can answer.
72:20
Speaker A
This means I work tomorrow. Another example. This means when are you coming? Now look at V. V means how. For example, this means how are you? A simple answer is this means I am fine. We can also ask
72:50
Speaker A
this means what is your name? Literally it means how are you called? You can answer Omar. This means my name is Omar. Now look at means why. For example, this means why are you learning German?
73:13
Speaker A
You can answer this means I am learning German because I want to work in Germany. This sentence is a little longer. So at A1 level you can also answer simply for work or for school. So remember van means when v
73:40
Speaker A
means how v means why and the verb still comes second. Great. Now let's practice the w questions together. Listen first then repeat slowly.
73:58
Speaker A
Who are you? Who is that? What are you doing? What is that? Where do you live?
74:20
Speaker A
Where is the train station? Where are you from? Where are you going? When do you work?
74:38
Speaker A
When are you coming? How are you? What is your name? Lance. Why are you learning German?
74:54
Speaker A
Very good. Now remember the big rule in German W questions. The W word comes first and the verb comes second. For example [bell] These questions help you ask for real information, not only yes or no. Now you can ask about people, things, places,
75:26
Speaker A
origin direction time condition names, and reasons. This is a very important step for real conversation.
75:37
Speaker A
Next we will continue with German nouns and articles. We will learn dea d and das. These small words are very important in German A1. So let's continue step by step.
76:01
Speaker A
Great. Now that we can ask different types of questions in German, we can move into real daily communication.
76:09
Speaker A
Today we will learn basic German greetings and goodbyes. These are the words you use at the beginning and at the end of a conversation. In German, this is very important because the way you greet someone can sound friendly,
76:24
Speaker A
polite, formal or informal. Today we will look at hello Guten Morgan Guten Ch and alen hello means hello. Guten Morgan means good morning. Gutenag means good day.
76:49
Speaker A
Choose means bye. And alazin means goodbye. These words are simple but you will use them again and again in real German. For example, hello this means hello or guten this means good day. And when you leave you can say choose this
77:13
Speaker A
means bye. So today we will learn when to use these words how they feel and how to use them in simple A1 conversations.
77:24
Speaker A
Let's start with the basic greetings. The first word is hello. Hello means hello. This is friendly and very common.
77:35
Speaker A
You can use hello with friends, classmates, neighbors or people you know. For example, hello Anna. This means hello Anna. You can also say hello.
77:50
Speaker A
Hello Omar. Now let's look at Guten Morgan. Guten Morgan means good morning. We use it in the morning. For example, Guten Morgan.
78:03
Speaker A
This means good morning. You can say it when you meet someone early in the day.
78:09
Speaker A
Now we have gutenag. Gutenag means good day. This is more polite than hello. You can use it in shops, offices, appointments or with people you do not know well. For example, guten talk. This means good day. So remember, hello is
78:32
Speaker A
friendly and informal. Guten Morgan is used in the morning. Guten to is polite and useful in many formal situations.
78:43
Speaker A
Now let's compare informal and polite greetings. In German, you can speak in a friendly way or in a more formal way.
78:52
Speaker A
For example, with a friend, you can say hello. This means hello. You can also say hello.
79:02
Speaker A
This means hello. How are you? Here dia is informal. We use it with someone familiar. Now in a more polite situation you can say good day and then this means how are you formal. So look carefully. Informal hello
79:28
Speaker A
this means hello how are you? Formal vigen this means good day how are you formal at A1 level you do not need to say long conversations just start with simple polite phrases. For example hello Guten Morgan Guten.
79:52
Speaker A
These greetings help you start a German conversation in a clear and natural way. Now let's look at basic goodbyes. The first one is choose. Choose means by. It is friendly and informal. You can use it with friends, classmates, family or
80:12
Speaker A
people you know. For example, choose Anna. This means bye Anna or simply choose bye. Now let's look at alazen.
80:26
Speaker A
Alazen means goodbye. This is more polite and formal. You can use it in a shop, at an appointment, in an office, or with someone you do not know well.
80:38
Speaker A
For example, alida. This means goodbye. So remember choose is friendly and informal. Alazen is polite and formal.
80:52
Speaker A
Let's compare. Hello choose. These are friendly and simple. Gutenag alen. These are more polite and formal. This is very useful for real life because in German politeness matters. If you are not sure, Gutenag and Alfida are usually safe
81:15
Speaker A
choices. Great. Now, let's practice simple greeting and goodbye conversations. Listen first, then repeat slowly. Hello.
81:27
Speaker A
Hello. Choose. Bye. Now, a short friendly conversation. Hello, Anna. Hello, Anna. Hello, Omar. Hello Omar. Choose Anna. Bye Anna.
81:43
Speaker A
Choose Omar. Bye Omar. Now let's practice a polite conversation. Guten Morgan. Good morning. Guten Morgan. Good morning. Guten. Good day. Alazen.
82:00
Speaker A
Goodbye. Very good. Now let's remember the main idea. Use hello for a friendly hello.
82:10
Speaker A
Use guten morgan in the morning. Use guten tug for a polite greeting. Use choose for a friendly goodbye. Use alida for a polite goodbye. Now you can start and finish simple German conversations.
82:28
Speaker A
This is a very important step for real speaking. Next we will continue with introducing yourself in German. We will learn how to say your name, where you are from, and how to ask someone for their name. So, let's continue step by
82:43
Speaker A
step. Great. Now that we know German greetings and goodbyes, we can start using German in a real first conversation. Today, we will learn how to introduce yourself in simple German.
82:58
Speaker A
Introducing yourself means you can say your name, who you are, where you are from, and where you live. At A1 level, this is very important because it helps you start a real German conversation.
83:13
Speaker A
Today, we will use simple sentences like Omar. This means my name is Omar. This means I am a student.
83:29
Speaker A
This means I come from Egypt or more naturally I am from Egypt and Cairo. This means I live in Cairo. These sentences are short, clear and very useful. You can use them when you meet someone new in a class, in an exam or in
83:50
Speaker A
a simple conversation. So today we will build a simple self-introduction step by step. Let's start with your name. In German there are two common ways to say your name. The first one is Omar. This means my name is Omar.
84:10
Speaker A
Literally it means I am called Omar. The verb is means to be called. So we say Omar. You can also say Omar this means I am Omar.
84:27
Speaker A
Both are useful but at A1 level is very common when introducing yourself. Now let's ask someone else for their name. We say this means what is your name informal and in a polite situation we say this means what is your name formal. So
84:52
Speaker A
remember my name is Omar. What is your name? Informal. What is your name? Formal. These are very important first conversation sentences. Now let's talk about who you are. For this we can use the verb zine.
85:14
Speaker A
Zine means to be. For example, this means I am a student. If the speaker is female, we can say this means I am a female student.
85:30
Speaker A
Another example this means I am a teacher or this means I am a female teacher. You can also use simple descriptions for example This means I am tired.
85:50
Speaker A
This means I am ready. This means I am friendly. So when you introduce yourself, you can say Omar. My name is Omar.
86:05
Speaker A
I am a student. This is already a simple introduction. You do not need long sentences. Short and clear sentences are perfect for A1. Now let's talk about where you are from. In German, we say this means I come from Egypt or more
86:26
Speaker A
naturally I am from Egypt. The verb is common means to come and the phrase is means from. So I am from Egypt. Another example this means I am from Germany. You can ask someone this means where are you from? Informal.
86:55
Speaker A
And in a polite situation this means where are you from? Formal. Now let's talk about where you live. We say in Cairo. This means I live in Cairo.
87:11
Speaker A
The verb is von means to live. When we talk about where someone lives, you can ask this means where do you live informal and formally where do you live? So remember I am from Egypt in Cairo. I live in Cairo. These two
87:38
Speaker A
sentences are very useful for introducing yourself. Great. Now let's put everything together in a simple self introduction. Listen first then repeat slowly. Hello. Hello.
87:55
Speaker A
My name is Omar student. I am a student. I am from Egypt in Cairo. I live in Cairo. Very good.
88:10
Speaker A
Now let's try another example. Guten. Good day. My name is Anna. I am a teacher.
88:23
Speaker A
Deutseland I am from Germany in Berlin I live in Berlin. Now let's practice the questions.
88:34
Speaker A
What is your name? Veru where are you from? Vu where do you live? And formally what is your name?
88:48
Speaker A
Where are you from? Vonenzi, where do you live? Excellent. Now you can introduce yourself in simple German.
88:58
Speaker A
You can say your name, who you are, where you are from, and where you live.
89:03
Speaker A
Next, we will continue with German nouns and articles. We will learn dead, d and d. These small words are very important in German A1. So, let's continue step by step.
89:23
Speaker A
[music] Great. Now that we can introduce ourselves in simple German, we can make our introduction more complete. Today we will talk about countries, cities, nationalities, and languages. These words are very important at A1 level because they help you say where you are
89:46
Speaker A
from, where you live, what your nationality is, and which languages you speak. For example, this means I come from Egypt or more naturally I am from Egypt. We can also say in Cairo. This means I live in Cairo and
90:17
Speaker A
Deutsch. This means I speak German. These are simple sentences but they are very useful in real conversations in German classes and in A1 exams. Today we will learn the difference between landat natal andra.
90:42
Speaker A
Land means country means city. Natalet means nationality and means language. So let's learn this slowly, clearly and with simple German examples.
91:00
Speaker A
Let's start with countries. In German, country means das land and countries are called lendel.
91:11
Speaker A
When you want to say where you are from, you usually say this means I come from or I am from. For example, this means I am from Egypt. Another example.
91:36
Speaker A
This means I am from Germany. You can also say this means I am from Austria. Now look carefully. Most country names come directly after for example egypten deutsand.
92:02
Speaker A
But some countries use an article. For example, this means I am from Switzerland. And this means I am from Turkey. And deni this means I am from the USA.
92:30
Speaker A
Do not worry if this feels new. At A1 level, start by learning the full sentence as one phrase. Now the question is this means where are you from informal and formally v this means where are you from formal. So
92:55
Speaker A
we have a gipon vst these are very important. A1 sentences. Now let's talk about cities. In German, city means dat.
93:16
Speaker A
And when you want to say where you live, you usually say vony in. This means I live in. For example, vony in Cairo. This means I live in Cairo. Another example.
93:36
Speaker A
V in Berlin. This means I live in Berlin. Or is in Munchin. This means I live in Munich. Now let's use a country too.
93:53
Speaker A
Vony Deutseland. This means I live in Germany. Vonyipin. This means I live in Egypt. With some countries, we use the article again. For example, invites this means I live in Switzerland. And this means I live in Turkey. The
94:26
Speaker A
question is V. This means where do you live informal and formally ven this means where do you live formal so we have vst where are you from and v where do you live these two questions are similar but they are not the same
94:56
Speaker A
vare asks about origin vo asks about place. Now let's talk about languages. In German, language means dra and languages are calleden.
95:13
Speaker A
The verb we use israen means to speak. For example, this means I speak German. Another example English. This means I speak English. You can also say this means I speak Arabic. Other useful languages are Francisish, French Spanish Spanish Turkish
95:50
Speaker A
Turkish, and Italianish Italian. Now let's make the sentence more natural. This means I speak a little German. This is very useful for beginners. You can also say English. This means I speak English well or this means I do not speak German very
96:25
Speaker A
well. Now the question is do this means which languages do you speak informal and formally this means which languages do you speak formal. So we have These sentences help you talk about languages in a simple and clear way.
97:04
Speaker A
Great. Now let's put countries, cities, nationalities, and languages together. First listen and repeat. I am from Egypt.
97:22
Speaker A
in Cairo. I live in Cairo. I speak Arabic. I speak a little German. Now another example.
97:42
Speaker A
I am from Germany. In Berlin, I live in Berlin. I speak German. Now let's talk about nationality. In German you can say this means I am Egyptian. If the speaker is female we say this means I am Egyptian. Female. You
98:14
Speaker A
can also say this means I am German male and bin deutsche this means I am German female at A1 level it is also very common and very safe to say for example Egypt or Deutselland Now let's practice a simple
98:46
Speaker A
introduction. Hello This means hello, my name is Omar. I am from Egypt. I live in Cairo. I speak Arabic and a little German. Very good.
99:14
Speaker A
Now you can talk about your country, your city, your nationality, and your languages. Next, we will continue with German nouns and articles. We will learn de and das. These small words are very important in German A1. So let's
99:35
Speaker A
continue step by step. Great. Now that we can talk about countries, cities, nationalities, and languages, we can learn something very practical for real life. Today we will learn numbers, phone numbers, email addresses and spelling names. These things are very important
99:57
Speaker A
at A1 level because you need them in many daily situations. For example, when you register for a course, book an appointment, fill in a form, or introduce yourself more clearly. You may need to say your phone number, your
100:14
Speaker A
email address, or how to spell your name. In German, we will use simple sentences like telephone numa is my phone number is and email address, my email address is. We will also learn questions like what is your phone number informal and
100:43
Speaker A
what is your phone number formal and vandas how do you spell that? So today we will practice numbers then phone numbers then email addresses and finally spelling names letter by letter. Let's go slowly, clearly, and step by step.
101:07
Speaker A
Let's start with numbers. Numbers are very important in German, especially for phone numbers, addresses, prices, times, and dates. First, let's practice the basic numbers from 0 to 10. Null zero, one sw dry three, fia 4, ff 5, z 6, zeban 7, a
101:43
Speaker A
8 9 san 10. Now let's continue from 11 to 20. Elf 11, sw, den 13, fen 14,en 15, zenen 16, zipen 17, aen 18, noen 19, and 20. Good. Now listen again to some very useful numbers. Nulin dry
102:30
Speaker A
f zen a nin ten. Very good. At A1 level you do not need to speak fast. Say the numbers slowly and clearly. This will help you when you give your phone number.
102:51
Speaker A
Now let's use numbers with phone numbers. In German phone number means d telephoneum. To ask someone for their phone number we can say telephone what is your phone number informal. And in a polite situation we can say what is your phone number formal to
103:18
Speaker A
answer we say my phone number is for example telephone my phone number is 0152 2 3 4 5 6 7. When you say a phone number in German, say it slowly, digit by digit. Do not rush. For example,
104:00
Speaker A
Now let's practice telephone. What is your phone number? 2 3 4 5 6 7. If you don't understand, you can say please slowly. You can also say can you repeat that informal and can you please repeat that formal? These
104:41
Speaker A
sentences are very useful in real conversations. Now let's talk about email addresses. In German, email address means d email address. To ask someone for their email address, we can say email address. What is your email address? Informal. And
105:07
Speaker A
email address. What is your email address? Formal. To answer we say my email address is my email address is for example my email address is om punctal alimail.com.
105:27
Speaker A
This means my email address is omod.ali mail.com. In German for the dot we usually say punct. Punct means dot. For the at symbol, many people say at. So, omad puncti at mailpunct.com.
105:52
Speaker A
Now, let's practice another example. My email address is Anna punctu.com. This means my email address is [email protected].
106:10
Speaker A
If someone does not understand, they may ask how do you spell that? Or can you please spell that informal? And can you please spell that formal? So remember email address means email address p means dot and means to spell.
106:42
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice spelling names and information letter by letter. In German to spell means if someone asks how do you spell that? You can answer.
107:02
Speaker A
I will spell it. For example, Omar. O M A. Omar. My name is Omar.
107:15
Speaker A
O M A. Now let's try Anna. A N A. I say Anna. My name is Anna.
107:32
Speaker A
A n a Now let's try a name with an umlout. Müller. Mlout. L A.
107:49
Speaker A
You can say Miller. M Ult L A Very good. Now let's put everything together. Listen first, then repeat slowly.
108:09
Speaker A
Hello. My name is Omar. zven. My phone number is 015 23 45 67. My email address is omadpali mailp.com.
108:40
Speaker A
This means my email address is [email protected]. alimail.com o m a air. Very good. Now you can say your numbers, your phone number, your email address and spell your name in simple German. Next we will continue with German nouns and articles. We will
109:09
Speaker A
learn dare, d and thus. These small words are very important in German A1. So let's continue step by step.
109:28
Speaker A
Great. Now that we can say numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, and spell names, we need something very important for learning German in real life. Today we will learn classroom phrases and survival German. Survival German means simple German sentences
109:48
Speaker A
that help you when you do not understand, when you need help or when you want someone to repeat something.
109:55
Speaker A
This is very important at A1 level because in class, in an exam or in a real conversation, you may not understand everything and that is completely normal. So today we will learn useful phrases like this means I do not understand
110:18
Speaker A
this means please repeat formal and vasped this means what does that mean? We will also learn how to ask someone to speak slowly, how to ask a question and how to ask for a word in German. These phrases
110:37
Speaker A
are small, but they are very powerful. They help you stay calm, keep the conversation going, and learn more clearly. So, let's learn the most useful classroom phrases slowly and clearly.
110:51
Speaker A
Let's start with one of the most important phrases. This means I do not understand. The verb is fen means to understand. So we can say this means I understand and the negative is this means I do not understand. You can
111:16
Speaker A
also say this means I do not understand that. For example, in a classroom, you may hear a new word. You can say this means excuse me, I do not understand. This is polite and very useful. Another sentence is
111:42
Speaker A
this means I do not understand the task. This means the task or the exercise. So remember I understand.
111:57
Speaker A
I do not understand. I do not understand that. I do not understand the task. These sentences help you ask for help without stress. Now, let's learn how to ask someone to repeat. In German, we can say this means please repeat. Formal ven
112:24
Speaker A
means to repeat. If you want to be more complete, you can say this means can you please repeat that formal. This is very polite and very useful with a teacher, a stranger or in an office. If you are speaking to a
112:43
Speaker A
friend or a classmate, you can say this means can you please repeat that informal. You can also say this means one more time please. This is short and very useful. Now let's ask someone to speak slowly. We can say
113:07
Speaker A
this means slowly please or This means please speak slowly formal. Informally we can say this means speak slowly please informal.
113:24
Speaker A
So remember please repeat. Can you please repeat that formal one more time please? Slowly please. These are survival phrases for every German beginner. Now let's learn how to ask about meaning. A very important question is this means what does that mean?
113:55
Speaker A
Means means for example if you see a new word you can ask what does that mean? You can also ask about a specific word. For example, vasped housegaba. This means what does housegaba mean? The answer is howgaba homework. This means howgaba means
114:20
Speaker A
homework. Another very useful question is vat. This means how do you say that in German? For example, vman books.
114:33
Speaker A
This means how do you say book in German? The answer is bu means book. You can also ask this means how do you write that or how do you spell that? And this means can you please spell that
114:56
Speaker A
formal. So remember what does that mean? How do you say that in German? How do you write that? These questions help you learn new words faster. Great.
115:14
Speaker A
Now, let's practice classroom phrases together. Listen first, then repeat slowly. Excuse me. I do not understand.
115:29
Speaker A
I do not understand that. I do not understand the task. Please repeat formal. Can you please repeat that formal one more time please?
115:51
Speaker A
Slowly please. Please speak slowly. Formal. What does that mean? How do you say that in German?
116:07
Speaker A
How do you spell that? I have a question. Very good. Now, let's make a short classroom conversation.
116:26
Speaker A
Very good. Now you can survive many classroom situations in simple German. You can say that you do not understand, ask someone to repeat, ask someone to speak slowly, ask for meaning, and ask how to say or spell a word. This is a
116:43
Speaker A
very important step for real learning. Next, we will continue with German nouns and articles. We will learn de and dus. These small words are very important in German A1. So let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we have learned many useful German
117:04
Speaker A
phrases for real communication, we can start a very important part of German grammar. Today we will learn da [snorts] d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d
117:16
Speaker A
and d. In English, we usually say 'the'. For example, the book, the table, the child.
117:27
Speaker A
But in German, the word 'the' can be de or das. All three can mean the but. But we do not choose them randomly. In German, every noun has a gender. A noun can be masculine, feminine or neuter. So
117:52
Speaker A
we use de with masculine nouns, d with feminine nouns, and das with neuter nouns. For example, demon this means the man. D this means the woman. and doskinned.
118:15
Speaker A
This means the child. Do not worry if this feels new. At A1 level, the most important habit is simple. Learn every noun with its article. Not only but not only lamp, but dumper.
118:38
Speaker A
So today we will learn da d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d and d slowly and clearly with simple examples. Great.
118:49
Speaker A
Now let's look at de. De means the. We use de with masculine nouns. For example demon.
119:02
Speaker A
This means the man. Another example de this means the father and de this means the brother. These examples are easy because they are male people but German grammar is not always about real life gender. Sometimes a thing can
119:27
Speaker A
also be masculine. For example, this means the table. A table is not a man but in German tish is masculine. So we say de tish. Another useful example is dto.
119:47
Speaker A
This means the chair and debus this means the bus. So remember, demon the man, de the father, deish the table, deto the chair, debus the bus. When the noun is masculine, we use de. Great. Now let's look at d. D
120:20
Speaker A
means the. We use D with feminine nouns. For example, D f this means the woman.
120:30
Speaker A
Another example d mut this means the mother and dvesta. This means the sister. These examples are easy because they are female people.
120:46
Speaker A
But again, German grammar is not always about real life gender. For example, dump. This means the lamp. A tamp is not a woman, but in German, lumpa is feminine.
121:02
Speaker A
So, we say dump. Another useful example is d tasha. This means the bag. And dshula.
121:14
Speaker A
This means the school. And dtat this means the city. So remember d fra the woman, d muta the mother, d lampa the lamp, d tasha the bag, d shula the school, dtat the city. When the noun is feminine, we
121:44
Speaker A
use d. One small note, d is also used for plural nouns. For example, d bua.
121:54
Speaker A
This means the books, but for now, focus on the basic idea de and dos with singular nouns. Great. Now, let's look at dos.
122:10
Speaker A
Doss means the. We use doss with neuter nouns. For example, dosskinned. This means the child. Another example, dos baby. This means the baby. And one very important word do mkin. This means the girl. This can feel strange because
122:37
Speaker A
maidkin means girl. But in German grammar, matekin is neuter. So we say do mkin.
122:47
Speaker A
Now let's see more examples. D this means the book. Do alto. This means the car. D house. This means the house.
123:02
Speaker A
And do handy. This means the phone. Now let's practice all three articles together. Demon the man. D fra the woman. D kind the child. Deish the table. D lamp the lamp.
123:27
Speaker A
D the book. Very good. Now you know the three German definite articles. de and dos. They all can mean the but in German each noun has its own article. So your new habit is learn every noun with its article
123:53
Speaker A
dump. This is one of the most important habits in German A1. Next we will continue with indefinite articles in anda.
124:08
Speaker A
They mean a or an. So let's continue step by step. [music] Great. Now that we know the German definite articles de and does, we can learn another very important group of small words. Today we will learn aa and
124:41
Speaker A
in English we use a or an. For example, a book, a table, an apple. In German, we also use words like this, but the word changes depending on the gender of the noun. So we say with masculine nouns,
125:05
Speaker A
with feminine nouns and with neuter nouns. For example, this means a man. How this means a woman this means a child. So the idea is simple de becomes ain. D becomes aa and thus becomes.
125:37
Speaker A
Do not worry if this feels new. We will learn it slowly with simple examples and we will connect it to what we already know from dea d and dus.
125:53
Speaker A
Let's start with the basic connection. We already know demon this means the man. Now if we want to say a man we say man. So demon becomes a man. Another example this means the table. A table is.
126:23
Speaker A
So for masculine nouns we use. Now look at feminine nouns. We already know dra. This means the woman. A woman is so dra becomes.
126:44
Speaker A
Another example damper this means the lamp. A lamp is a lamp. So for feminine nouns we use aa. Now look at neuter nouns. We already know dkind this means the child. A child is and dasb this means the book a book is.
127:18
Speaker A
So remember de becomes d becomes aa and thus becomes. Now let's practice in with masculine nouns. In means a or an. We usein with masculine nouns. For example, this means a man. Another example fa this means a father. And buda this
127:55
Speaker A
means a brother. Now let's use things too. This means the table. So we sayish.
128:07
Speaker A
This means a table. This means the chair. So we say this means a chair. Deus. This means the bus. So we say bus. This means a bus.
128:27
Speaker A
Now let's make simple A1 sentences. This means that is a manist. This means that is a tableist.
128:45
Speaker A
This means that is a bus. So remember for masculine nouns we use. Now let's practice with feminine nouns. Ina means a or an.
129:05
Speaker A
We use aa with feminine nouns. For example, this means a woman. Another example. This means a mother. And this means a sister. Now let's use things too.
129:28
Speaker A
This means the lamp. So we say this means a lamp. Dasha. This means the bag. So we sayasha.
129:41
Speaker A
This means a bag. Dula. This means the school. So we say this means a school. Andat this means the city. So we say this means a city. Now let's make simple A1 sentences.
130:07
Speaker A
This means that is a woman. This means that is a lamp. Natasha this means that is a bag. So remember for feminine nouns we use a great now let's practice with neuter nouns. Yes we use again for neuter nouns we also use.
130:42
Speaker A
For example, I'm kind this means a child. Another example baby. This means a baby. And remember this means the girl. So we say this means a girl. Now let's use things too.
131:06
Speaker A
This means the book. So we say this means a book. Dto this means the car. So we say this means a car. And house this means the house. So we say house. Now let's practice all three together. Demon.
131:34
Speaker A
The man. A man. The fra the woman a woman the child a child deish the table a table lamp the lamp a lamp the book a book very good now you know The basic indefinite articles in aa and
132:13
Speaker A
they mean a or an. The most important rule is masculine in feminine neuter and the best habit is still the same.
132:30
Speaker A
Learn every noun with its article. Next we will continue with negative articles kind and kind of they help us say not a or no. So let's continue step by step.
132:59
Speaker A
Great. Now that we have learned many useful German phrases for real communication, we can start a very important part of German grammar. Today we will learn dea das and also ana.
133:20
Speaker A
We need to understand German nouns a little more clearly. Today we will talk about nouns, gender and plural forms. In German, a noun is a word for a person, a thing, a place or an idea. For example, man fraint
133:43
Speaker A
bat, these are nouns. And in German, nouns are very important because every noun has three things you should notice.
133:57
Speaker A
First, German nouns start with a capital letter. Second, German nouns usually have an article. For example, diam, defra, dkind.
134:12
Speaker A
And third, German nouns have a plural form. For example, das becomes da. This means the book becomes the books.
134:26
Speaker A
So today we will learn how to recognize nouns, how to learn them with their articles and how to notice some common plural forms. Do not worry, you do not need to memorize every plural today, but you do need to build the right habit
134:44
Speaker A
from the beginning. Let's start with capital letters. In German, all nouns start with a capital letter. This is different from English. In English, we usually write the book, the table, the city. But in German, we write dbish dtat.
135:08
Speaker A
B starts with a capital B. Tish starts with a capital T. andat starts with a capital S. This helps you recognize nouns quickly when you read German. For example, I am reading a book. The word starts with a capital letter because it is a
135:33
Speaker A
noun. Another example is the table is big. Tish starts with a capital T and I live in a city.
135:49
Speaker A
Starts with a capital S. So remember in German nouns always start with a capital letter. Man, fra kint b tish lumpa.
136:08
Speaker A
This is one of the easiest things to notice in German reading. Now let's talk about the article with the noun. In German, do not learn a noun alone. Learn the noun with its article. For example, do not learn only tish. Learn deish.
136:29
Speaker A
This means the table. Do not learn only lamp. Learn dump. This means the lamp.
136:38
Speaker A
Do not learn only b learn. This means the book. Why is this important? Because the article tells you the gender of the noun. Dea means masculine. D means feminine. and dus means neuter. So when you learn deatish, you know that tish is masculine. When
137:05
Speaker A
you learn dump, you know that lumpa is feminine. And when you learn das, you know that b is neuter. This will help you later with sentences, questions, negatives, and adjectives. So build this habit now. Article plus noun demon drak
137:30
Speaker A
deish d lumpa dasb. Very good. German nouns become much easier when you learn them as small complete phrases. Now let's talk about plural forms. Plural means more than one. In English we often add s. For example, book books. But in German,
137:56
Speaker A
plural forms can change in different ways. There is not only one rule. For example, dasb becomes dba.
138:07
Speaker A
This means the book becomes the books. Notice two things. First, in the plural, the article is usually d. Second, the word itself can change. Now let's see some common plural examples. Deish the table. Disha the tables. Here we add a
138:32
Speaker A
dump the lamp. Dumpen the lamps. Here we add n. And dto the car. Dtos the cars.
138:45
Speaker A
Here we add s and dtat the city deta the cities. Here the vowel changes too. So remember German plural forms can look different. Sometimes we add a n, e n, e r or s. And sometimes the vowel changes
139:10
Speaker A
at A1 level. Do not panic. Just learn the singular and the plural together when you meet a new noun. Great. Now, let's practice nouns, articles, and plural forms together. Listen first, then repeat slowly. Deman the man. Denna the men. Dra the woman. Draen the women.
139:38
Speaker A
Daskind the child. D kinder the children. Deish the table. D tisha the tables. D lamp the lamp. D lampen the lamps. D the book. Da the books. Dto the car. Dtos the cars. Dat the city. Deta the cities. Very good. Now remember the
140:11
Speaker A
three big ideas from this lesson. First, German nouns start with a capital letter. Second, learn every noun with its article. For example, deish, dump db.
140:28
Speaker A
And third, learn the plural form as a new word, too. For example, da dish dish dump dumpen.
140:43
Speaker A
This habit will make German much easier later. Now you can recognize nouns, notice their gender and start learning their plural forms. Next, we will continue with negative articles kind and kind of. They help us say not a or no.
141:03
Speaker A
So let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we understand German nouns, articles, gender, and plural forms, we can start learning how nouns work inside a sentence. Today we will learn nominatif in German. Nominatif is the case we
141:33
Speaker A
usually use for the subject of the sentence. Do not worry if the word case sounds difficult. At A1 level, think of it like this. The subject is the person or thing doing the action. For example, dam least. This means the man is
141:55
Speaker A
reading. Who is reading? Damun. So damun is the subject. Another example vasa. This means the woman drinks water.
142:11
Speaker A
Who drinks water? Defra. So is the subject. And this means the child is playing. Who is playing? Duskind. So duskind is the subject. Today we will learn how to recognize the subject and how articles look in the nominatif.
142:38
Speaker A
We will go slowly with simple examples and we will keep it clear. Let's start with the basic idea. The subject answers who or what does the action. For example, this means the teacher speaks. Who speaks?
143:01
Speaker A
So is the subject. Another example is no. This means the lamp is new. What is new? Dumpa. So dump is the subject and this means the book is interesting. What is interesting?
143:27
Speaker A
So das is the subject. The subject is very important because in German the verb changes depending on the subject.
143:37
Speaker A
For example, I learned, you learn, the man learns. Defraant, the woman learns. So remember, the subject is who or what the sentence is about. And in German, the subject is usually in the nominative.
144:02
Speaker A
Now let's look at definite articles in the nominatif. Definite articles mean the we already know dea d and d. In the nominative we use de for masculine nouns, d for feminine nouns and das for neuter nouns.
144:25
Speaker A
For example, damun this means the man. Defra this means the woman. This means the child. Now let's use them as subjects.
144:41
Speaker A
This means the man works. This means the woman reads. This means the child plays. Look carefully. The articles stay de and d because these nouns are the subject of the sentence. Another example is this means the table is big.
145:12
Speaker A
This means the lamp is beautiful. This means the book is new. So remember in the nominative the definite articles are de d and d. Now let's look at indefinite articles in the nominatif.
145:34
Speaker A
Indefinite articles mean a or an. We already know in aa and in the nominative we usein for masculine nouns for feminine nouns and for neuter nouns.
145:53
Speaker A
For example, this means a man this means a woman. This means a child. Now let's use them as subjects.
146:09
Speaker A
it. This means a man works. This means a woman reads. This means a child plays. Again, these nouns are the subject. So, they are in the nominative. Let's try more examples.
146:32
Speaker A
This means a table is big. This means a lamp is beautiful. This means a book is new. So remember in the nominative masculine, feminine aa and neuterin and the noun is doing something or the sentence is talking about it. Great. Now
147:03
Speaker A
let's practice nominative subjects together. Listen first then repeat slowly. The man works. A man works.
147:21
Speaker A
The woman reads least. A woman readsilt. The child plays. A child plays. The table is big.
147:41
Speaker A
A table is big. The lamp is beautiful. A lamp is beautiful. The book is new.
147:58
Speaker A
Noi. This means a book is new. Very good. Now remember the big idea. Nominative is used for the subject of the sentence. The subject answers who does the action or what is the sentence about. In the nominative we use de
148:23
Speaker A
and also I. So when you see a simple German sentence, look for the subject. Ask yourself who is doing the action. That noun is usually in the nominatif.
148:40
Speaker A
Next, we will continue with the accusative. We will learn what happens when a noun is not the subject but the object of the sentence. So let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we know the nominative and we can
148:57
Speaker A
recognize the subject of a sentence, we can make our German sentences more useful. Today we will learn basic adjectives after the verb zine. Zine means to be.
149:14
Speaker A
Adjectives are words that describe people, things, places or situations. For example, in English we say the car is expensive, the apartment is small, the book is new. In German we can say toya this means the car is expensive.
149:41
Speaker A
This means the apartment is small. This means the book is new. So the basic pattern is subject z adjective. For example, is toya dto is the subject is the verb toya is the adjective.
150:08
Speaker A
Today we will learn this pattern slowly and clearly and we will practice some very useful opposite adjectives.
150:18
Speaker A
Let's start with the basic structure. In German, we can use the verb z with an adjective. For example, house.
150:29
Speaker A
This means the house is big. This means the bag is new. This means the coffee is hot.
150:46
Speaker A
This means the water is cold. Look carefully. The adjective comes after the verb z. So we say house is gross not house.
151:02
Speaker A
The verb is still important. Now let's use people. This means I am tired. This means you are friendly.
151:19
Speaker A
This means he is sick. Z is net. This means she is nice. Via zintite.
151:29
Speaker A
This means we are ready. So remember with zine we can describe people and things. The pattern is simple. subject zine adjective.
151:43
Speaker A
Now let's practice some useful opposites. Opposites help you learn two words together. The first pair is gross and klein. Gross means big klein means small. For example, house is gross. This means the house is big.
152:09
Speaker A
This means the apartment is small. Now we have another pair noi and al noi means new. Alt means old. For example, this means the bag is new.
152:31
Speaker A
This means the table is old. Now we have toya and billish. Toya means expensive.
152:42
Speaker A
Billish means cheap. For example, toya this means the car is expensive. This means the phone is cheap. So remember gross and klein noi and al toya and bilik. These adjectives are very common in German A1.
153:11
Speaker A
Now let's learn more useful adjectives after zine. The next pair is good and g means good. Schle means bad. For example, this means the food is good.
153:33
Speaker A
This means the movie is bad. Now we have and langam means fast. Lam means slow. For example, this means the bus is fast.
153:52
Speaker A
Langam. This means the car is slow. Now we have another useful pair vom and vom means warm. Cult means cold. For example, dustim v. This means the room is warm.
154:15
Speaker A
This means the water is cold. These words are useful because they help you describe everyday things. You can talk about food, weather, rooms, cars, people and places. So remember and schnel and langam vam and cult.
154:40
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice basic adjectives after zine. Listen first then repeat slowly. is no. The tish is also lam simmer is vasa is cult. Very good. Now remember the main idea. After the verb, we can use an adjective to describe the subject. For
155:30
Speaker A
example, via zint. This pattern is very useful for A1 German. You can now describe people, things, places, and situations with simple adjectives.
155:53
Speaker A
Next we will continue with the accusativ. We will learn what happens when a noun is not the subject but the object of the sentence. So let's continue step by step.
156:09
Speaker A
[music] Great. Now that we know how to use adjectives after the verb zine, we can learn one more simple idea. Today we will look at adjectives before nouns. In the last part we said things like this means the table is small. Here the
156:36
Speaker A
adjective comes after the verb is but sometimes the adjective comes before the noun. For example, this means a small table.
156:54
Speaker A
This means a small bag. This means a small room. Look carefully. The adjective changes a little. We do not only say einleish, we sayish.
157:15
Speaker A
We do not say tasha. We sayasha. And we do not say, we say. Do not worry. Today we will keep this very simple. We will only learn the basic idea. When an adjective comes before a noun, it often gets a small
157:45
Speaker A
ending. Let's compare two ideas. First, adjective after zine. For example, this means the table is small. Here clin comes after.
158:03
Speaker A
So, the adjective stays simple. Klein. Now look at this means a small table. Here klein comes before the noun tish. So it changes to kleina. Another example is this means the bag is small. But before the noun we say
158:33
Speaker A
this means a small bag and this means the room is small but before the noun we say this means a small room. So remember after zine klein before a noun kleina kle or kleinus. Today we will practice this slowly and clearly.
159:06
Speaker A
Now let's start with masculine nouns. We already know dish this means the table andish this means a table. Now we want to say a small table. In German we say this means a small table. The adjective is klein but before a masculine noun
159:34
Speaker A
within it becomes kleina. So kleinish. Another example bus the bus. A bus. This means a fast bus. And cafe the coffee in cafe a coffeea cafe. This means a hot coffee. So remember with masculine nouns we can say
160:10
Speaker A
kleinish a small tableabus a fast busa cafe the adjective gets air. Now let's look at feminine nouns. We already know dasha this means the bag andasha this means a bag. Now we want to say a small bag. In German we sayasha
160:43
Speaker A
this means a small bag. The adjective is klein but before a feminine noun with aa it becomes kleina. So another example the lamp a lamp this means a new lamp and the apartment an apartment this means a small apartment. So
161:22
Speaker A
remember with feminine nouns we can say a small baga lamp a new lampa a small apartment the adjective gets a great now let's look at neuter nouns we already know dust simma the room and simma a room. Now we want to say a small
161:54
Speaker A
room. In German we say this means a small room. The adjective is klein but before a neuter noun within it becomes.
162:10
Speaker A
So another example the book a book this means a new book and the car a car to auto this means an expensive car. Now let's practice all three together.
162:44
Speaker A
A small table. A small bag. A small room. A fast bus. A new lamp.
163:04
Speaker A
A new book. Very good. Now remember the simple beginner rule. When the adjective comes after zine, it stays simple.
163:17
Speaker A
But when the adjective comes before the noun, it gets an ending. At A1 level, start by learning these patterns as useful phrases. Next we will continue with the accusative. We will learn what happens when a noun is the
163:43
Speaker A
object of the sentence. So let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we know the subject of the sentence and we know the nominative, we can now learn a new simple idea.
163:59
Speaker A
Today we will start with aativ. Do not worry at A1 level we will keep it very simple. The nominative is usually for the subject. The subject is the person or thing doing the action. But the accusative is often used for the
164:22
Speaker A
direct object. The direct object is the person or thing that receives the action. For example, This means I am reading a book. Who is reading?
164:42
Speaker A
So is the subject. What am I reading? So is the direct object. Another example.
164:58
Speaker A
This means I see the man who sees. Who do I see? Den. So today we will learn how to recognize the direct object using two helpful questions then and thus.
165:22
Speaker A
Let's start by comparing the subject and the direct object. The subject does the action. The direct object receives the action. For example, least this means the man is reading a book.
165:43
Speaker A
Who is reading? So is the subject. What is he reading? So is the direct object.
165:58
Speaker A
Another example. This means the woman buys a bag. Who buys? Dra. So defra is the subject. What does she buy? Anaasha.
166:18
Speaker A
Soasha is the direct object. One more example. Das vasa. This means the child drinks water.
166:32
Speaker A
Who drinks? Dask. What does the child drink? Vasa. So remember the subject answers who does the action. The direct object answers who or what receives the action. In German, this object is often in the accusative.
166:57
Speaker A
Now, let's use the question vas. Vas means what. We use vas when the direct object is a thing, food, a drink or an idea. For example, this means I am reading a book. Ask this means what am I reading? Answer
167:29
Speaker A
a book. Another example. This means you are drinking water. Ask this means what are you drinking? Answer water. Another example.
167:53
Speaker A
This means he buys a car. Ask this means what does he buy? Answer. So remember for things we often ask vas what this helps you find the direct object in the sentence.
168:18
Speaker A
Now let's use the question then. Then means whom or who when we ask about a person as the direct object. For example, this means I see the man. Ask then this means whom do I see or more naturally who do I see? Answer den.
168:49
Speaker A
Another example do fra. This means you see the woman. Ask then zist. This means who do you see?
169:03
Speaker A
Answer dra the woman. Another example via Omar. This means we meet Omar. Ask then this means who do we meet? Answer Omar.
169:23
Speaker A
So remember for people we often ask then who. For things we often ask thus what.
169:33
Speaker A
These two questions help you recognize the direct object in German. Great. Now let's practice the basic idea of accusative with simple sentences.
169:48
Speaker A
Listen first then repeat slowly. I am reading a book. What am I reading? A book.
170:07
Speaker A
You are drinking water. What are you drinking? Vasa. Water. Den I see the man then z who do I see den the man do zist dra you see the woman then zist do who do you see dra the
170:39
Speaker A
woman very good now remember the big idea the nominative is usually the subject. The subject does the action. The accusative is often the direct object. The direct object receives the action. Ask there for the subject. Ask then for a person
171:05
Speaker A
as the object. Ask th for a thing as the object. Next, we will continue with the articles in accusative.
171:16
Speaker A
We will learn what happens to de and does when the noun is the object of the sentence. So let's continue step by step.
171:36
Speaker A
Great. Now that we know the basic idea of accusative, we can learn what happens to articles inside the accusative.
171:47
Speaker A
In the last part, we learned that the accusative is often used for the direct object. The direct object is the person or thing that receives the action. For example isha.
172:04
Speaker A
This means I see the man. Here ish is the subject and den is the direct object. Now here is the most important point in the accusative only the masculine article changes clearly. So de becomes den. in becomes ein. Kine
172:31
Speaker A
becomes kinen and mine becomes min. This is very important at A1 level. But do not worry the idea is simple. Masculine changes. Feminine stays mostly the same.
172:49
Speaker A
Neuter stays mostly the same. Today we will focus slowly on the masculine changes with clear examples.
172:59
Speaker A
Let's start with de and den. In the nominative we say demon. This means the man. For example, demon is here. This means the man is here. Here d is the subject. So we use de. But in the accusative when the man is the direct
173:24
Speaker A
object we say for example this means I see the man ask who do I see answer so demon becomes den when he is the direct object. Another example means the bus. But this means I take the bus. So remember
173:59
Speaker A
masculine becomes den in the accusative. Now let's look at and in the nominative we say man. This means a man. For example, man is here. This means a man is here. Herein is the subject. So we use but in the accusative when the man is
174:29
Speaker A
the direct object we say. For example, this means I see a man. Ask who do I see? answer.
174:46
Speaker A
So becomes when he is the direct object. Another example means a coffee butafe this means I am drinking a coffee and means a bus but this means I take a bus. So remember masculine becomes in the accusative.
175:20
Speaker A
Now let's look at kind and kynan. K means not a or no. In the nominative we can say is this means that is not a man. Here kind is not the direct object. But in the accusative with a masculine noun we
175:44
Speaker A
sayen. For example, this means I see no man or more naturally I do not see a man. Ask who do I see? Answer.
176:03
Speaker A
Another example. This means I do not have a brother. and stiff this means I do not have a pen. So remember masculine kind becomes kynan in the accusative. This is very useful when you want to say that you do not have
176:28
Speaker A
something or you do not see someone. Now let's look at mine and mining. Mine means my in the nominative we can say mine f this means my father for example mine f is here this means my father is
176:50
Speaker A
here here mine f is the subject so we use mine but in the accusative when the masculine noun is the direct object we say min for example This means I see my father. Ask who do I see? Answer mine.
177:18
Speaker A
Another example mine means my brother. But this means I meet my brother and mine means my bus. But minus this means I take a bus. So remember masculine mine becomes min in the accusative. The pattern is the same.
177:49
Speaker A
In becomes kind becomes kynen. Mine becomes min. Great. Now let's practice the most important accusative article changes together. Listen first, then repeat slowly.
178:09
Speaker A
The man I see the man. A man is I see a man. Kind man. Not a man.
178:27
Speaker A
I do not see a man. Mine. Father. My father. I see my father. Now another quick practice.
178:42
Speaker A
I take the bus. I take a bus. I do not take a bus. I take my bus. Very good. Now remember the big rule in the accusative masculine articles change. Dear becomes den. In becomes in kind becomes kinen and mine
179:16
Speaker A
becomes minen. But feminine and neuter articles usually stay the same in this basic A1 pattern. Next, we will continue with more accusative practice and use these articles in simple everyday sentences. So, let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we know the basic
179:39
Speaker A
article changes in the accusative, we can use the accusative with real everyday verbs. Today, we will practice common verbs that often need a direct object. The direct object is the person or thing that receives the action. In German, this object is often in the
179:59
Speaker A
accusative. Today we will use these verbs. Habin, zen, ken, browen, non and bizuin. Habin means to have. Zen means to see.
180:18
Speaker A
Ken means to buy. Brahen means to need. Non means to take and means to visit.
180:30
Speaker A
For example, this means I have a pen. This means I see the man. This means I buy a bag. These verbs are very useful in real German conversations. So today we will practice them slowly and clearly with simple
180:56
Speaker A
accusative examples. Let's start with the verbs and means to have. For example, this means I have a pen. Ask [screaming] what do I have? answer because is masculine we say in the accusative. Another example this means I have a book here is neuter
181:31
Speaker A
so stays. Now look at means to need. For example, this means I need an appointment.
181:47
Speaker A
Is masculine. So we say another example. This means I need a bag. Tasha is feminine so it stays.
182:02
Speaker A
So remember within and ask bus what now let's use the verb zen zen means to see this verb is very common with the accusative for example this means I see the man ask who do I see Answer den. In the nomativ
182:40
Speaker A
we say but in the accusative we say. Another example. This means I see a bus. Bus is masculine. So we say now look at feminine and neuter examples.
183:00
Speaker A
Defra. This means I see the woman. Defra stays. And this means I see the car also stays. So remember with the direct object is what you see.
183:28
Speaker A
Now let's practice and means to buy. For example, this means I buy a coffee. Cafe is masculine. So we say cafe. Another example.
183:49
Speaker A
This means I buy a bag. Tasha is feminine so it stays. And this means I buy a book. BH is neuter so it stays.
184:05
Speaker A
Now let's use the verb non means to take for example this means I take the bus becomes another example taxi this means I take a taxi taxi is neuter so we say taxi and This means I take my bag. So remember
184:38
Speaker A
and non often have a direct object. Ask bus. What do I buy? What do I take? Now let's use the verb bizen. Bizen means to visit. Be careful. In German bizen often takes a direct object. For example, and this means I visit my brother. Ask
185:07
Speaker A
who do I visit? Answer mine and Bruda is masculine. So mine Bruda becomes min.
185:17
Speaker A
Another example. This means I visit my father. Again fa is masculine. So we say min.
185:29
Speaker A
Now look at a feminine example. This means I visit my mother is feminine. So stays mut and this means I visit Anna. With names the form often looks simple. So remember within ask who do I visit?
186:06
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice common verbs with the accusative. Listen first, then repeat slowly. I have a pen.
186:19
Speaker A
I have a book. I need an appointment. I need a bag. I see the man.
186:35
Speaker A
I see the car. Cafe. I buy a coffee. I buy a book. I take the bus.
186:50
Speaker A
I take a taxi. I visit my brother. I visit my mother. Very good. Now remember the main idea. Many common verbs use a direct object. For things ask boss. What? For people ask vin who.
187:14
Speaker A
And in the accusative masculine articles change. Decomes din. Ain becomes inen. Kine becomes kynan and mine becomes minen. Next we will continue practicing the accusative with more useful A1 sentences so this pattern becomes clear and natural.
187:44
Speaker A
Great. Now that we have practiced the accusative with common verbs, we can learn a very useful shortcut. Today we will learn accusative pronouns. A pronoun is a small word that replaces a noun. For example, instead of saying the
188:03
Speaker A
man again and again, we can say him. In German, we can do the same. For example, Dman this means I see the man but we can also say ish za this means I see him. So denman can become in. Today we will learn these
188:30
Speaker A
accusative pronouns mish dish in z s un o and z. These words are very useful in real conversations because they make sentences shorter and more natural. Do not worry, we will learn them slowly with simple examples and with verbs we
188:56
Speaker A
already know like zenhen and bazooken. Let's start with mish and dish. Mish means me. It is the accusative form of ish. For example, domish.
189:18
Speaker A
This means you see me. Who do you see? Me. So we use mish. Another example.
189:28
Speaker A
Anna bizmish. This means Anna visits me. Now let's look at dish. Dish means you in formal.
189:39
Speaker A
It is the accusative form of do. For example is this means I see you. Another example is this means I need you. So remember is becomes mish in the accusative and do becomes dish in the accusative. Now practice slowly. domish.
190:10
Speaker A
You see me is zadish. I see you. Now let's look at in z and s. These pronouns replace him, her and it. First in means him. It is the accquisitative form of a for example is za.
190:41
Speaker A
This means I see the man. We can also say ish za. This means I see him. So den becomes in.
190:55
Speaker A
Now look at z. Z means her. It is the accusative form of z. For example, is za.
191:06
Speaker A
This means I see the woman. We can also say is z. This means I see her. So defl becomes z. Now look at s. S means it.
191:24
Speaker A
For example, ish za. This means I see the car. We can also say ish za s this means I see it. So remember e becomes in z stays z s stays s.
191:50
Speaker A
Now let's continue with plural and formal pronouns. The first one is un means us. It is the accusative form of via. For example, this means the teacher sees us. Another example Anna.
192:14
Speaker A
This means Anna visits us. Now look at oish. O means you all informal. It is the accusative form of for example is this means I see you all. Another example is o this means I need you all.
192:39
Speaker A
Now we have Z. Z means you formal in the accusative formal Z stays z. For example is this means I see you formal and is this means I need you formal. So remember via becomes becomes o formal z stays z.
193:15
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice the accusative pronouns together. Listen first then repeat slowly. Domish. You see me. Is zadish. I see you.
193:33
Speaker A
Zin. I see him. Zaz. I see her. Is za s. I see it. The teacher sees us.
193:52
Speaker A
I see you all. I see you. Formal. Now let's practice with another verb. I need you.
194:09
Speaker A
I need him. I need her. I need you all. Very good. Now remember the big idea. In the accusative pronouns can replace direct objects. Instead of den, we can say in. Instead of defa we can say z. Instead of dto, we can say s.
194:41
Speaker A
The most important forms are mish, dish, in z, s, un, oish, and z. Next, we will continue with more useful German sentence patterns so you can use these pronouns in real A1 conversations.
195:03
Speaker A
Great. Now that we have learned the acquisive pronouns, we can make our German sentences more useful. Today we will learn how to say not. In German, the word is nished. Nished means not. We use nished when we want to make a
195:27
Speaker A
sentence negative. For example, this means I am learning German. But if we want to say I am not learning German, we say this means I am not learning German.
195:49
Speaker A
Another example is this means the car is expensive. negative is this means the car is not expensive. So today we will learn how to use n with verbs with adjectives and with full ideas. Do not worry we will keep it
196:18
Speaker A
simple clear and useful for A1 German. Now let's start with a very simple idea.
196:28
Speaker A
Nik can make an action negative. For example, this means I am coming. Negative is this means I am not coming. Another example this means I am working. Negative this means I am not working and this means I am learning. Negative
197:04
Speaker A
this means I am not learning. In many short sentences comes near the end of the sentence. For example, Now let's use a little more information.
197:27
Speaker A
This means I am not working today. And this means I am not learning today. So remember for simple actions use to say not.
197:45
Speaker A
Now let's use n with adjectives. Adjectives describe people, things, places or situations. For example, This means the car is not expensive.
198:12
Speaker A
Look carefully with adjectives after z usually comes before the adjective. Another example is this means the apartment is small.
198:29
Speaker A
Negative. This means the apartment is not small. Another example. Thus is good. This means the food is good. Negative. Thus this means the food is not good. Now with people this means I am tired. negative this means I am not tired and
199:08
Speaker A
this means we are ready. Negative this means we are not ready. So remember with adjectives we often say m.
199:28
Speaker A
Now let's use n to make a full idea negative. Sometimes we do not only negate one small word. We negate the whole idea. For example, this means I understand that. Negative.
199:51
Speaker A
This means I do not understand that. Another example. This means I do not need that. Now with an accusative pronoun.
200:08
Speaker A
This means I see him. negative. This means I do not see him. Another example this means I see her. Negative this means I do not see her. And this means I take the bus. negative this means I do not take the bus. So
200:43
Speaker A
remember in many simple sentences comes near the end when we negate the whole idea.
200:52
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice negation with listen first then repeat slowly. I am not coming.
201:06
Speaker A
I am not working today. I am not learning today. The car is not expensive.
201:22
Speaker A
The apartment is not small. The food is not good. I am not tired. We are not ready.
201:41
Speaker A
I do not understand that. I do not need that. I do not see him.
201:55
Speaker A
I do not take the bus. Very good. Now remember the main idea means not. We use to negate verbs, adjectives and full ideas. For example, this is a very important tool for real German conversation. Next we will continue with another kind of negation
202:30
Speaker A
kind and kind of they help us say not a or no with nouns. So let's continue step by step.
202:43
Speaker A
[music] Great. Now that we know how to use nit to make sentences negative, we can learn another very important way to say not or no in German. Today we will learn kind and kind of. These words are used when
203:09
Speaker A
we make nouns negative. For example, in English we can say I have a book and negative I do not have a book. In German we often say this means I have a book. Negative this means I do not have a book or I
203:37
Speaker A
have no book. Another example is this means that is a bag. Negative is kind of tasha. This means that is not a bag. So the idea is simple. K works like a negative version of and kind of works like a negative
204:02
Speaker A
version of aa. Today we will learn how to use kind and kina with simple nouns and we will also learn the difference between n and kind.
204:16
Speaker A
Let's start with the basic forms. We already know this means a man negative kind this means not a man or no man. Now look at this means a woman. Negative kind of this means not a woman or no woman. Now
204:43
Speaker A
look at this means a child negative kind. This means not a child or no child. So remember masculine man becomes kind man. feminine [snorts] becomes kind of neutering becomes kind.
205:09
Speaker A
Now let's use simple sentences. This means that is a man negativeist. This means that is not a man. Thus this means that is a bag. Negative.
205:33
Speaker A
This means that is not a bag. This means that is a book. Negative is kind this means that is not a book. So remember use kind or kind of before a noun.
205:53
Speaker A
Now let's use kind and kinda with the verb hobin. Habin means to have. This is very common in daily German. For example, this means I have a book. Negative.
206:13
Speaker A
This means I do not have a book. Another example. This means I have a bag. Negative.
206:25
Speaker A
Tasha. This means I do not have a bag. Now look at a masculine noun in the accusative.
206:36
Speaker A
This means I have a pen. Negative. This means I do not have a pen. Here is masculine. So in the accusative becomes another example this means I have a brother negative this means I do not have a brother. So
207:09
Speaker A
remember becomes aasha becomes kinatashaft becomes kenshift. This is very useful when you talk about things you do not have.
207:26
Speaker A
Now let's understand the difference between n and kind. This is very important. Use when you make a verb, an adjective or a full idea negative. For example, this means I am not coming. Here we negate the verb idea. Another example.
207:54
Speaker A
This means the car is not expensive. Here we negate the adjective expensive. And This means I do not understand that.
208:07
Speaker A
Here we negate the full idea. But use kind or kind of when you make a noun negative. For example, this means I do not have a car. Alto is a noun. Another example.
208:28
Speaker A
This means I do not have time. site is a noun and this means that is not a problem.
208:39
Speaker A
Problem is a noun. So remember is for verbs, adjectives and full ideas. K and kind of are for nouns. For example, this is a very important step for building real German sentences. Next, we will continue with more useful sentence
209:08
Speaker A
patterns for everyday A1 communication. So, let's continue step by step. Great. Now let's practice kind and kina together. Listen first then repeat slowly.
209:28
Speaker A
That is a book. That is not a book. That is a bag. That is not a bag.
209:45
Speaker A
I have a car. I do not have a car. I have an apartment. I do not have an apartment.
210:04
Speaker A
I have a pen. I do not have a pen. I have a brother. I do not have a brother. Now compare I am not coming.
210:27
Speaker A
I do not have a car. The car is not expensive. That is not a car. Very good. Now remember the main idea. Use nik to negate verbs, adjectives, and full ideas. Use and to negate nouns. For example, this is a very important step for
211:04
Speaker A
building real German sentences. Next, we will continue with more useful sentence patterns for everyday A1 communication.
211:14
Speaker A
So, let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we know how to use articles like dein, and also negative articles like kind and kind of. We can learn another very useful group of small words. Today we will learn possessive articles.
211:40
Speaker A
Possessive articles help us say my, your, his, her, our, your plural, and your formal. In German, we use words like mine, dine, zine, unza oa and for example is mine.
212:09
Speaker A
This means that is my book. Another example is dinaasha. This means that is your bag. Andist z.
212:23
Speaker A
This means that is his car. These words are very useful because they help you talk about your things, your family, your home, and people around you. Today we will learn them slowly, clearly and with simple A1 examples.
212:45
Speaker A
Let's start with mine and dine. Mine means my for example mine fa this means my father.
212:58
Speaker A
Mina mut this means my mother. Mine B. This means my book. Look carefully. With masculine nouns, we say mine fa. With feminine nouns, we say my mut. With neuter nouns, we say mine.
213:22
Speaker A
Now let's look at dine. Dine means your informal. For example, dine fat. This means your father. Dina mut. This means your mother. D.
213:42
Speaker A
This means your book. Now let's use simple sentences. Mine. This means that is my book.
213:56
Speaker A
Tasha. This means that is my bag. Andist alto this means that is your carist this means that is your apartment. So remember mine means my dine means your informal and the ending changes with the noun.
214:25
Speaker A
Now let's look at zine anda. Zine means his. We use zine when the owner is masculine or neuter. For example Omar.
214:41
Speaker A
This means Omar has a car. We can sayist z. This means that is his car. Another example.
214:54
Speaker A
Z this means that is his father and zina this means that is his mother. Now look ata means her. We use when the owner is feminine. For example Anna hotina tasha.
215:20
Speaker A
This means Anna has a bag. We can say this means that is her bag. Another example this means that is her father and [bell] this means that is her mother. So remember, zine means his, ia means her.
215:52
Speaker A
The owner decides which possessive article we choose, but the noun decides the ending. Now let's continue with unza and oa.
216:06
Speaker A
Unza means our for example unza. This means our teacher. This means our female teacher house this means our house. Now let's use sentences.
216:29
Speaker A
House this means that is our house. This means that is our apartment. This means that is our car. Now look at oa. O means your when speaking to more than one person informally. For example, oa fa. This means your father plural
217:01
Speaker A
informal. Ora mut this means your mother plural informal. O house. This means your house plural informal. Be careful with feminine nouns. OA often becomes for example this means your bag plural informal and this means your apartment plural informal. So remember unza means our oya
217:42
Speaker A
means your for more than one person informally. Great. Now let's look at formal possession. The formal word is ia means your formal. We use it when we speak politely to one person or to more than one person. For example,
218:07
Speaker A
this means your name formal. This means your address formal. This means your car. Notice starts with a capital letter when it means formal your. Now let's practice all possessive articles together. Mine.
218:33
Speaker A
My book. Your book. Informal. Z. His book. Her book. Unab. Our book. O. Your book. Plural informal.
218:51
Speaker A
And your book formal. Now with feminine nouns. My tasha. My bag. Dinaasha. Your bag informal.
219:05
Speaker A
Zasha, his bag. Tasha, her bag. Tasha, our bag. Tasha, your bag, plural, informal, and your bag formal. Very good. Now remember the main idea. Possessive articles show who something belongs to. The most important forms are mine, dine, zine,
219:38
Speaker A
unza oya and at A1 level. Learn them in simple phrases. Mine, my book. Dina, Tashasha, your bag. Z, his car.
219:56
Speaker A
Von, her apartment. Unza house our house your school and nama your name. Next we will continue with more useful everyday sentences using these possessive articles. So let's continue step by step.
220:26
Speaker A
Great. Now that we can talk about things, people, and simple actions, we can learn how to talk about what we like. Today we will learn three very useful words. Morgan, gan, and liba.
220:44
Speaker A
These words help you say I like, I like doing something, and I prefer. For example, coffee. This means I like coffee.
220:57
Speaker A
Another example pizza. This means I like eating pizza. And this means I prefer drinking tea. These sentences are very useful in daily German because we often talk about food, drinks, hobbies, music, and activities.
221:22
Speaker A
Today we will learn the difference between and do not worry we will keep it simple clear and very practical for A1 conversations.
221:43
Speaker A
Let's start with Men. Men means to like. But in simple A1 German, we often use the form.
221:54
Speaker A
Means I like. For example, coffee. This means I like coffee. Another example is this means I like music. And this means I like German. Now let's look at more forms. DX means you like for example dx.
222:23
Speaker A
This means you like tea. Means he likes for example fbal. This means he likes football. Zmog means she likes. For example zmog chada.
222:41
Speaker A
This means she likes chocolate. So remember, I like coffee. You like tea. Fball. He likes football. Zmog chocol often talk about things, people, food, drinks, or topics.
223:12
Speaker A
Now let's learn gan. Gan means gladly or with pleasure. But in English we often translate it as like to. So when we say pizza, we mean I like eating pizza. Look carefully with gan we usually use a verb. For example
223:38
Speaker A
pizza. This means I like eating pizza. The verb is essa. Another example. This means I like drinking coffee. The verb is trinka. Another example.
223:59
Speaker A
This means I like learning German. And this means I like playing football. So remember I like coffee but again I like drinking coffee. Men is often used with nouns. Gan is often used with actions. At A1 level this is a very
224:27
Speaker A
useful difference. Now let's learn liba. Liba means rather or preferably. In simple English we often translate it as prefer. For example this means I prefer drinking tea. Maybe there are two choices coffee or tea and you choose tea. So you say
225:01
Speaker A
Another example rice. This means I prefer eating rice. And this means I prefer learning German. Now let's compare coffee. This means I like drinking coffee. But this means I prefer drinking tea.
225:30
Speaker A
Another comparison this means I like eating pizza. But pasta this means I prefer eating pasta.
225:43
Speaker A
So remember gan means you like doing something. Liba means you prefer doing something. This is very useful when you choose between two things.
226:00
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice Men Gan and Liba together. Listen first, then repeat slowly. I like coffee.
226:15
Speaker A
You like tea. He likes football. She likes chocolate. Now with gan. Pizza. I like eating pizza.
226:33
Speaker A
Coffee. I like drinking coffee. I like learning German. I like playing football. Now with Liba, I prefer drinking tea.
226:56
Speaker A
I prefer eating rice. Deutsch. I prefer learning German. Very good. Now remember the main idea. Use when you like a thing or a topic. For example, cafe. Use gan when you like doing an action. For example, use liba when you prefer something. For
227:25
Speaker A
example, now you can talk about likes, activities food drinks and preferences in simple German. Next, we will continue with more useful everyday expressions for A1 conversations. So let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we can talk about likes,
227:49
Speaker A
preferences, things, and simple actions, we can learn a very useful phrase for everyday German. Today we will learn esgt means there is or there are. This phrase is very common in German. We use it when we want to say that something exists or
228:13
Speaker A
that something is available in a place. For example, this means there is a park. Another example, this means there are many books and eske.
228:36
Speaker A
Today we will also learn three very useful connectors. Un, aba, and oda. Un means and, aba means but, and oda means or. These small words help you connect simple German ideas. For example, es cafe.
229:02
Speaker A
This means there is coffee and tea. This means there is bread but no milk and cafe or a this means would you like coffee or tea. So today we will learn esg and simple connectors slowly clearly and with useful A1 examples.
229:31
Speaker A
Let's start with the phrase esg in German eskeep is not change in simple A1 sentences. We can use it for one thing or for many things. For example, this means there is a table and this means there are two chairs. Look
229:58
Speaker A
carefully. In English we say there is or there are but in German we can use eskeep for both. Another example this means there is a book and this means there are many books. Now let's use places.
230:28
Speaker A
This means in the city there is a train station. Another example in gaula. This means at school there are many students. So remember eske or there are. It is one of the most useful phrases for describing places and
230:51
Speaker A
situations. Next, let's learn the first connector. Un. Un means and. We use un when we connect two things, two people or two ideas. For example, This means there is bread and cheese.
231:22
Speaker A
Now with people, this means Omar and Anna are learning German. Now with two actions, this means I read and write. and pizza.
231:44
Speaker A
This means I eat pizza and drink water. So remember un means and it helps you connect simple ideas. It is very easy and very useful. You can say cafe un coffee and tea unesa bread and cheese. Leen, read and write. At A1 level, un helps
232:14
Speaker A
you make longer but still simple sentences. Now, let's learn aba. Aba means but. We use aba when we connect two ideas with a contrast. For example, this means the coffee is good but expensive. Another example.
232:42
Speaker A
This means the apartment is small but beautiful. Now let's use escaped with aba. This means there is bread but no milk.
232:57
Speaker A
And cafe this means there is tea but no coffee and pizza. This means I like pizza but I prefer eating rice. So remember aba means but.
233:18
Speaker A
It helps you show a contrast. The first idea is true, but the second idea adds something different. For example, Klein abashern small but beautiful.
233:32
Speaker A
Abatoa, good but expensive. Now let's learn. Oda means or. We use a when there is a choice. For example, cafe.
233:47
Speaker A
This means coffee or tea. Another example. This means would you like coffee or tea?
233:58
Speaker A
At A1 level, you can use this pattern in many everyday situations. For example, this means would you like water or juice? And do English. This means are you learning German or English and do in Cairo or in Berlin. This means do you live in Cairo
234:26
Speaker A
or Berlin? Now let's use eskeep cafe or this means is there coffee or tea and esa this means is there bread or cheese. So remember means or it helps you ask about choices.
234:49
Speaker A
Cafe or vasa or zuts or English. These are simple and very useful A1 patterns. Great. Now let's practice eske and the connectors un aba and oda. Listen first then repeat slowly.
235:12
Speaker A
park. There is a park. There are many books. Cafe, there is coffee. Cafe. There is coffee and tea.
235:31
Speaker A
There is bread and cheese. The coffee is good but expensive. The apartment is small but beautiful.
235:50
Speaker A
There is bread but no milk. Would you like coffee or tea? English. Are you learning German or English? Very good. Now remember the main idea. Esg means there is or there are. Un means and. Aba means but and oda
236:18
Speaker A
means or. With these words you can describe places, connect ideas, show contrast and ask simple questions with choices. For example, These are simple and very useful A1 patterns. Next, we will continue with more everyday German structures so you
236:48
Speaker A
can build longer, clearer sentences step by step. Great. Now that we can build simple German sentences and we know the basic idea of the nominative and the accusative, we can start learning one more important case. Today we will begin
237:13
Speaker A
with dativ. Do not worry at A1 level. We will keep this very simple. The nominative is usually for the subject.
237:24
Speaker A
The accusative is often for the direct object and the dativ is often used for the person who receives something or the person who gets help, thanks or information. A very useful question is vim. Vim means to whom or for whom. For
237:46
Speaker A
example, this means I give the man a book who receives the book. So dean is the receiver. It is in the another example.
238:06
Speaker A
This means I help the woman. Who do I help? Deafra. So today we will learn the basic idea of dativ and we will focus on dam and dea. Let's start with the basic idea. The dativ often answers the
238:25
Speaker A
question v to whom for whom? For example. This means I give the child a ball. Who receives the ball?
238:39
Speaker A
So is the receiver. It is in the another example. This means I write the mother a message.
238:52
Speaker A
Who receives the message? So is in the one more example. This means I show the friend the photo.
239:07
Speaker A
who receives the photo or the information. So remember the dativ often shows the receiver or the person connected to the action. Ask vim to whom for whom. This question helps you find the dativ. Now let's look at the most important article
239:28
Speaker A
changes in the dativ. In the nominative we say demon. This means the man. But in the we say for example this means I help the man. So demon becomes d. Now look at feminine nouns.
239:52
Speaker A
In the nominative we say this means the woman but in the dativ. For example, this means I help the woman. So becomes.
240:12
Speaker A
Now look at neuter nouns. In the nominative we say this means the child. But in the dativ we say damek for example.
240:27
Speaker A
This means I help the child. So remember masculine dea becomes dame feminine d becomes de neuter das becomes dame. Now let's practice some very common daily examples with the dativ. The first useful verb is helen means to help. In German we say
240:58
Speaker A
this means I help the man and this means I help the woman and this means I help the child. Now let's use Duncan. Duncan means to thank. For example, this means I thank the teacher and This means I thank the female teacher.
241:28
Speaker A
Now let's use gabin. Gabin means to give. For example, this means I give the friend a coffee and this means I give the mother a book. So remember with many daily sentences the dativ shows the person who receives help
241:54
Speaker A
thanks or something. Great. Now let's practice the basic dativ slowly. Listen first then repeat.
242:06
Speaker A
I help the man. I help the woman. I help the child. I thank the teacher.
242:22
Speaker A
I thank the female teacher. I give the friend a coffee. I give the mother a book. Very good. Now remember the main idea. The dativ often answers vim. To whom? For whom? The most important beginner changes are de
242:48
Speaker A
becomes dame. D becomes de and ds becomes dame. For example, demon deaf and damek at A1 level. Do not try to learn everything at once. Start with simple daily patterns like Next, we will continue with more useful sentences and common verbs that use the
243:23
Speaker A
dativ. So, let's continue step by step. Great. Now that we know the basic idea of the dative and we know some article changes like de becomes dame, d becomes da and d does becomes dame. We can learn a very useful group of small words.
243:50
Speaker A
Today we will learn common datative prepositions. A preposition is a small word that shows a connection. For example, with, at, from, to, or after. In German, some prepositions are followed by the datative. Today we will learn mit, by fun n
244:21
Speaker A
and to. Mitt means with. By means at or with depending on the situation. Fun means from or of.
244:36
Speaker A
Nak means to or after. Means from or out of and to means to. These words are very common in daily German. For example, this means I go by bus. Another example, this means I come from Egypt. And to Anna, this means I am going to Anna.
245:13
Speaker A
So today we will learn these prepositions slowly and clearly with simple A1 examples. Let's start with mit and by. Mit means with. We use it when we talk about people transport or things we use. For example, Omar means I learn with Omar. Another example
245:47
Speaker A
Anna. This means I drink coffee with Anna. Now look at transport. In German we say mit dame bus. This means I go by bus or mit alto. This means I go by car. After mit we usually use the dative. So dbus
246:17
Speaker A
becomes damebus and dalto becomes dame alto. Now let's look at by can mean at or with. For example been by Anna. This means I am at Anna's place or I am with Anna. Another example is bin by dame.
246:48
Speaker A
This means I am at the doctor. In daily German people often say this means at the doctor. So remember mit means with by means at or with and both are followed by the dottive.
247:08
Speaker A
Now let's continue with fun and fun means from or of. We use fun when we talk about a person, a place or where something comes from. For example, this means the gift is from Anna.
247:33
Speaker A
Another example, this means I come from work. Look carefully. Dabite becomes deet after fun. Now let's look at.
247:52
Speaker A
House means from or out of. We often use when we talk about origin. For example, Egypt. This means I come from Egypt or more naturally I am from Egypt. Another example, al Deutseland. This means I am from Germany. and comma
248:21
Speaker A
Cairo. This means I come from Cairo. Now with a place that has an article, deula, this means I come from school. So remember fun can mean from someone or from a place. House often means from or out of. Both are followed by the
248:47
Speaker A
dottive. Now let's learn and to both can mean to but we use them in different situations.
248:58
Speaker A
First we often use with cities, countries and home. For example, Berlin. This means I am going to Berlin.
249:13
Speaker A
Another example is Deutseland. This means I am going to Germany. And a very important phrase ga this means I am going home. So with cities, many countries and home we often use.
249:37
Speaker A
Now let's look at to. To also means to, but we use it when we go to a person, a place or an appointment. For example, to Anna. This means I am going to Anna.
249:55
Speaker A
Another example. This means I am going to the doctor. In daily German, people often say this means to the doctor and this means I am going to school. In daily German people often say this means to school. So remember Nak
250:26
Speaker A
Berlin to Berlin, Nak Deutseland to Germany Naka to home. But to Anna to Anna, Tsum to the doctor and shula to school.
250:46
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice the common dive prepositions together. Listen first, then repeat slowly. Omar, I learn with Omar.
251:04
Speaker A
Mit dame bus. I go by bus. I go by car. By Anna. I am at Anna's place.
251:24
Speaker A
I am at the doctor. The gift is from Anna. I come from work. I am from Egypt.
251:47
Speaker A
I come from school. I am going to Berlin. I am going home. Anna, I am going to Anna.
252:09
Speaker A
I am going to the doctor and I am going to school. Very good. Now remember the main idea these common prepositions are followed by the dative mit by fun and to after these words watch the article carefully. For example, mit
252:40
Speaker A
fun and at A1 level. The best way is to learn small complete phrases. Next, we will continue with more daily German phrases using the dative. So these patterns become clear and natural.
253:04
Speaker A
[music] Great. Now that we know some common dativ prepositions, we can learn another very useful group of small words. Today we will talk about place and time prepositions. Place prepositions help us say where something is. Time prepositions help us say when something
253:31
Speaker A
happens. Today we will learn words like in an al meen for hint and fish. These words are useful when we describe rooms, cities, objects, people and places. For example, this means the book is on the table.
254:01
Speaker A
Another example. This means the bag is next to the chair. Now we will learn some very common time phrases and these mean on Monday in January at 8:00 and from 9 to 5. So today we will learn place and time slowly, clearly and with
254:37
Speaker A
simple A1 examples. Let's start with place prepositions. A very useful question is VO. VO means where. When we answer V, we talk about location. The first word is in. In means in. For example, this means I am in school. Another
255:06
Speaker A
example is this means the book is in the bag. Now look at an can mean at or on when something is close to a side, a wall or a place. For example, this means I am at the door and
255:34
Speaker A
this means the picture is on the wall. Now look at al means on. For example, this means the book is on the table and This means the coffee is on the table.
255:58
Speaker A
So remember and alimish. These are very common place phrases. Now let's learn more place prepositions.
256:14
Speaker A
The first one is on. Means under. For example, This means the bag is under the table.
256:27
Speaker A
Now look at means next to. For example, this means the chair is next to the table. Now look at for means in front of. For example, house. This means the car is in front of the house. Now look at hint. Hint means
256:57
Speaker A
behind. For example, house. This means the garden is behind the house. And finally means between. For example, this means the table is between the sofa and the chair. So remember house and sofa.
257:34
Speaker A
These phrases help you describe where things are. Now let's talk about time prepositions. A very useful question is van. Van means when. We use time phrases to answer this question. The first phrase is um um is used with days. For example,
257:58
Speaker A
montag. This means on Monday. Another example. This means I work on Friday. Now look at im. Is used with months and seasons. For example, yanua. This means in January. Another example.
258:25
Speaker A
This means I learned German in January. We can also say imma. This means in summer. Now look at is used with clock time. For example, this means at 8:00. Another example begin.
258:49
Speaker A
This means the course begins at 8:00. So remember montag for days, m yanua for months, imma for seasons, and for clock time.
259:06
Speaker A
Great. Now let's learn one more very useful time pattern. Fun bis. Fun means from. Bis means until or to. together means from to. For example, this means I work from 9 to 5. Another example.
259:37
Speaker A
This means the course is from Monday to Friday. And this means I study from 8 to 10:00.
259:50
Speaker A
Now let's practice place and time phrases together. The book is on the table. The bag is under the table.
260:09
Speaker A
The chair is next to the table. House the car is in front of the house.
260:20
Speaker A
House the garden is behind the house. I work on Monday. The course begins at 8:00.
260:38
Speaker A
I work from 9 to 5. Very good. Now remember the main idea. For place ask where. For time ask van when. Useful place words are in, an ala, naben, for, hint, and fish. Useful time phrases are and next we will continue with more everyday
261:16
Speaker A
German phrases so you can describe places, times, and simple situations more clearly. Great. Now that we can build simple German sentences and we know sentence structure with the verb in position two, we can learn a very important group of verbs in German.
261:37
Speaker A
Today we will learn modal verbs. Modal verbs help us express an idea like can, must, want, would like, may or should.
261:52
Speaker A
In German, these verbs are very common in daily conversation. Today we will learn six important modal verbs, missen ven and zolen. These verbs usually work with another verb. For example, this means I can speak German. Here is the modal verb and
262:27
Speaker A
is the second verb. The important rule is this. In a simple German sentence with a modal verb, the modal verb is in position two and the second verb goes to the end in the infinitive form. For example, This means I must study today. Miss is
262:51
Speaker A
in position two. Lannon is at the end. So today we will learn each modal verb slowly, clearly, and with simple A1 examples.
263:05
Speaker A
Let's start with canon. Canon means can or to be able to. We use canon when we talk about ability, skill or possibility. For example, this means I can speak German. Another example.
263:30
Speaker A
This means I can swim. Well, now look carefully at the sentence structure. The modal verb is can. It comes in position two. The second verb is it goes to the end. Some important forms are can. I can do. You can. A can. He
263:59
Speaker A
can. Z. She can. Via canon. We can. For example, enhanced good. This means you can cook well.
264:15
Speaker A
This means we can come today. So remember, use canon when you want to say that someone can do something. The second verb goes to the end. Now let's look at missen. Miss means must or have to. We use miss when something is
264:37
Speaker A
necessary. For example, this means I must study or more naturally I have to study. Another example this means I have to work. Look carefully.
264:58
Speaker A
The modal verb is miss. It comes in position two. The second verb is lannon.
265:06
Speaker A
It goes to the end. Some important forms are must, I must, do must, you must, must, he must, z, she must, via must, we must. For example, come early via dean. This means we have to learn German. So remember use missen
265:39
Speaker A
when something is necessary, important or required. The second verb goes to the end. Now let's look at volen. Volen means to want. We use volen when we talk about a strong wish, a plan or something we really want to do. For example,
266:05
Speaker A
this means I want to drink coffee. Another example. This means I want to go to Berlin. Look carefully.
266:20
Speaker A
The modal verb is v. It comes in position two. The second verb is it goes to the end. Some important forms are I want you want.
266:38
Speaker A
He wants she wants. Ven we want. For example, this means you want to learn German. via volen.
266:54
Speaker A
This means we want to eat pizza. So remember, use volen when you want to say what someone wants to do. The second verb goes to the end. Now let's look at meen means would like. It is polite and
267:15
Speaker A
very useful in daily German. We use when we ask for something, order something or say what we would like. For example, this means I would like to drink a coffee. Another example.
267:41
Speaker A
This means I would like to learn German. Look carefully. The modal verb is it comes in position two. The second verb is it goes to the end. Some important forms are I would like you would like.
268:13
Speaker A
He would like, she would like. We would like for example, this means you would like to drink water.
268:34
Speaker A
This means we would like to go home. So remember, meshen is softer and more polite than volen. It is very common in shops restaurants classes and everyday conversations.
268:53
Speaker A
Now let's look at duren. Duren means may or to be allowed to. We use duren when we talk about permission.
269:06
Speaker A
For example, this means I may sit here or more naturally I am allowed to sit here.
269:18
Speaker A
Another example this means may I ask? This is a very useful polite question. Look carefully.
269:31
Speaker A
a ziten. The modal verb is da. It comes in position two. The second verb is zitsen. It goes to the end. Some important forms are I may you may he may zaf she may. Via den we may. For
270:00
Speaker A
example, this means you may go now. This means we are allowed to wait here.
270:14
Speaker A
So remember, use when you talk about permission. It answers the idea, am I allowed to do this?
270:24
Speaker A
Now let's look at zolen. Zolen means should or be supposed to. We use zolen when someone gives advice, a recommendation or a task. For example, this means you should study more.
270:46
Speaker A
Another example. This means I should ask the teacher or I am supposed to ask the teacher. Look carefully.
271:03
Speaker A
The modal verb is it comes in position two. The second verb is lean. It goes to the end. Some important forms are I should, do, you should, he should, she should, via zolen, we should, for example, this means we should come on time.
271:39
Speaker A
This means she should drink water. So remember, use zolen when you talk about someone should do something or when there is advice, a rule or a task.
271:53
Speaker A
Great. Now let's practice all six modal verbs together. Listen first, then repeat slowly. I can speak German.
272:10
Speaker A
You can cook well. I have to study today. We have to learn German. I want to drink coffee.
272:30
Speaker A
We want to eat pizza. I would like to drink a coffee. We would like to go home.
272:46
Speaker A
I am allowed to sit here. May I ask? You should study more. We should come on time. Very good. Now remember the big rule with modal verbs.
273:08
Speaker A
The modal verb comes in position two. The second verb goes to the end in the infinitive form. For example, [clears throat] How again?
273:33
Speaker A
The modal verbs are miss and zolen. These verbs help you talk about ability, necessity, wishes, polite wishes, permission, and advice. Next, we will continue with more useful German sentence patterns so you can speak more naturally step by step.
274:03
Speaker A
[music] Great. Now that we can use many German verbs in simple sentences, we can learn a very useful form for real daily communication.
274:17
Speaker A
Today we will learn the imperative. The imperative means we tell someone to do something or we ask someone to do something. In English, we can say come, go, wait, read, take this. In German, we can also give commands and make
274:38
Speaker A
requests. But German has three important forms. We use one form with do. This means you informal singular. We use another form with this means you all informal plural. And we use a polite form with Z. This means you formal. For example, with one friend
275:06
Speaker A
we say come. This means come. With more than one friend we say comet. This means come. Plural informal. And in a polite situation we say come and this means come formal. So today we will learn the imperative with do
275:32
Speaker A
and Z. We will also use bitter. B means please. This makes commands softer and more polite. For example come bit. This means please come and this means please come formal. So let's learn this slowly, clearly and with simple A1 examples. Let's start with the
276:02
Speaker A
imperative for do. We use this form when we speak to one familiar person. For example, a friend, a classmate, a child or someone we know well. The first verb is common. Common means to come.
276:21
Speaker A
Normally we say dst. This means you come. But as a command we say come. This means come. For example, come. This means please come. and come here. This means come here. Now look at gayen. Gayen means to go with d. The
276:50
Speaker A
command is gay. This means go. For example, gay bit. This means please go. Now look at varten. Varten means to wait. The command is v. This means wait.
277:11
Speaker A
For example, this means please wait. Some verbs change more. For example, n means to take with do we say nim. This means take. For example, nimas this means please take that. Another example means to read with do we say lease this
277:45
Speaker A
means read. For example, this means please read. So remember with one familiar person we use the do form.
277:59
Speaker A
Useful examples are come, gay, vart, nim, and lease. And to make it softer, add bitter. Now, let's learn the imperative for ear. We use when we speak to more than one familiar person, for example, two friends, a group of
278:23
Speaker A
classmates, children, or people we know well. The good news is the ear imperative is usually very easy. It often looks like the normal ear verb form but without ear. For example means you all come. As a command we say
278:46
Speaker A
comet. This means come plural informal. For example, this means please come. Now look at ear gate. This means you all go. As a command we say gate. This means go.
279:07
Speaker A
Plural informal. For example, gate bit. This means please go. Now look at vet. This means you all wait. As a command we say vet. This means wait plural informal. For example, this means please wait. Now look at non
279:37
Speaker A
named means you all take. As a command we say named. This means take plural informal. For example, this means please take that and le means you all read. As a command, we say laced this means read plural informal. For example, le
280:10
Speaker A
this means please read. So remember with more than one familiar person we use the ear form useful examples are comp gate vet named and laced. Now let's learn the polite imperative with z. We use Z when we speak politely to an adult, a
280:38
Speaker A
stranger, a teacher, a customer, a doctor, or someone we do not know well. The polite form is simple. We use the verb in the infinitive form. Then Z. For example, common becomes common Z. This means come formal. More polite common Z.
281:02
Speaker A
This means please come formal. Now look at gayen. The polite command is gay and z. This means go formal. More polite gayen z. This means please go. Formal.
281:22
Speaker A
Now look at vart. The polite command is venzi. This means wait. Formal. more polite vart.
281:35
Speaker A
This means please wait. Formal. Now look at non. The polite command is nonmonz. This means take formal. A very common phrase is nonmon plots. This means take a seat. Formal. More polite nonz.
281:59
Speaker A
This means please take a seat. Formal. Another useful example. Name z. This means please take that. Formal.
282:11
Speaker A
Another useful example in classroom requests. This means please read. Formal. This means please listen. Formal.
282:27
Speaker A
Beta this means please write formal. So remember with formal German the pattern is verb then z. For example bit gayen z bit venz bit n pl and z bit.
282:50
Speaker A
Great. Now let's compare the three imperative forms together. Listen first, then repeat slowly. For one familiar person, come. Come. For more than one familiar person, comet. Come. Plural informal. For a [snorts] polite situation, common za, please come.
283:15
Speaker A
Formal. Now with gay. Gay. Go. Gate. Go. Plural. Informal Gen Z. Please go formal. Now with vart va wait vet wait plural informal.
283:40
Speaker A
Varten za. Please wait. Formal. Now with non nim take named take. Plural informal. Neon. Za please take formal now with len lease read laced read plural informal lenzy bit please read formal very good now remember the main idea
284:16
Speaker A
do for one familiar person for example come use for more than one familiar person. For example, use Z for a polite situation. For example, common z and to sound polite, use beta. This lesson is very important for real German because you will hear
284:43
Speaker A
commands and requests in class, in shops, in offices, and in daily conversations. Next, we will continue with more useful everyday German patterns so you can understand and speak German more naturally.
285:00
Speaker A
Great. Now that we can use many useful German sentence patterns, we can learn something very practical for daily life.
285:10
Speaker A
Today we will talk about time, days, months and dates. These words are very important in German A1 because we use them when we talk about appointments, classes, work, birthdays, travel and daily routines. In this lesson, we will learn simple questions like vet
285:39
Speaker A
this means what time is it and vanourse this means when is the course. We will also learn useful words like today, Morgan tomorrow and guestern yesterday. We use three small words again and again. Om for clock time, um
286:06
Speaker A
for days and dates and im for months. For example, this means the course starts at 8:00.
286:23
Speaker A
This means the course is on Monday. and demar this means the course starts in January.
286:33
Speaker A
So today we will learn time, days, months and dates slowly, clearly and with simple A1 examples.
286:45
Speaker A
Let's start with clock time. A very important question is this means what time is it? To answer we usually say this means it is for example this means it is 8:00. Another example is this means it is 10:00 and
287:16
Speaker A
12. This means it is 12:00. The word means a clock when we talk about time. Now let's use minutes.
287:32
Speaker A
This means it is 8:05. This means it is 8:15. This means it is 8:30.
287:48
Speaker A
At A1 level, this simple form is very useful. Now let's talk about appointments. For clock time, we use um um means at. For example, This means the course starts at 8:00.
288:11
Speaker A
Another example, this means I work at 9:00 and this means we meet at 10:00. So remember ask answer for appointments use for example a now let's talk about weekdays in German the days of the week are montag Monday
288:48
Speaker A
deans tag Tuesday mitv Wednesday donor's tag Thursday Right Friday, zamsag Saturday and zontag Sunday. When something happens on a day, we use um um means on with days. For example, um montag means on Monday.
289:16
Speaker A
Dean's tug means on Tuesday. And um fry tug means on Friday. Now let's use simple sentences.
289:30
Speaker A
This means the course is on Monday. This means I work on Tuesday. This means I learn German on Wednesday.
289:49
Speaker A
This means I am free on Saturday. Now let's ask this means when is the course answer this means the course is on Monday. Now look at three useful words means today Morgan tomorrow and yesterday.
290:18
Speaker A
For example, this means today is Monday. Morgan is this means tomorrow is Tuesday and guest zont this means yesterday was Sunday. So remember use um with weekdays for example um montag dean's tug and fry tag. Now let's talk
290:48
Speaker A
about months. In German, the months are Yanoa, January, Febru February, Matts, March April April May May Uni June Julie July August August September September October October November, November, and December December.
291:23
Speaker A
When something happens in a month, we use im. IM means in with months. For example, im yan means in January.
291:36
Speaker A
Matts means in March and imust means in August. Now let's use simple sentences. This means the course starts in January.
291:58
Speaker A
This means I learn German in March. This means I travel to Berlin in July.
292:11
Speaker A
August. This means I have vacation in August. Now let's ask when does the course start? Van begin.
292:25
Speaker A
Answer. This means the course starts in January. Another question. This means when do you have vacation?
292:41
Speaker A
Answer. August. This means I have vacation in August. So remember, use um with weekdays, for example, um montag use im with months, for example, im yano.
293:05
Speaker A
Now let's talk about dates. Dates are useful for birthdays, appointments, courses, and important days. A useful question is this means what is today's date? You can answer this means today is the 1st of January.
293:30
Speaker A
Another example this means today is the 3rd of May and this means today is the 10th of June.
293:47
Speaker A
When something happens on a date we use um for example um Aston Yanua means on the 1st of January. Um my means on the 3rd of May and means on the 10th of June.
294:10
Speaker A
Now let's use simple sentences. This means the appointment is on the 3rd of May September.
294:26
Speaker A
This means the course starts on the 5th of September. This means my birthday is on the 10th of June.
294:40
Speaker A
Now let's ask about birthdays. This means when is your birthday? Answer. This means my birthday is on the 10th of June. You can also say this means my birthday is on the 10th of June.
295:09
Speaker A
Do not worry if the endings feel new. At A1 level, learn the full phrase. For example, I'm Aston Yanua and Saintan Uni.
295:25
Speaker A
So remember for today's date say for an appointment say great. Now let's practice time days months and dates together. Listen first then repeat slowly.
295:51
Speaker A
What time is it? It is 8:00. It is 8:30. The course starts at 8:00.
296:10
Speaker A
Now with weekdays, today is Monday. The course is on Monday. I work on Tuesday.
296:30
Speaker A
I am free on Saturday. Now with months, the course starts in January. I learn German in March.
296:51
Speaker A
I have vacation in August. Now with dates, what is today's date? Today is the 3rd of May.
297:10
Speaker A
The appointment is on the 3rd of May. This means my birthday is on the 10th of June.
297:23
Speaker A
Very good. Now remember the main idea. Use with clock time. For example, use um with weekdays and dates. For example ammon and my use im with months. For example, im yanova.
297:50
Speaker A
Now you can talk about time, weekdays, months, and dates in simple German. This is very useful for appointments, classes, work, birthdays, and daily life. Next, we will continue with more useful everyday term and patterns so you can speak more clearly and naturally.
298:12
Speaker A
[music] Great. Now that we can talk about time, days, months, and dates, we can learn something very useful for everyday German. Today we will talk about daily routine. Daily routine means the things we do every day. For example, getting
298:36
Speaker A
up, eating breakfast, working, learning, shopping, and sleeping. In German, we will learn these important verbs alen, albiden lean and alen means to get up.
298:59
Speaker A
means to eat breakfast. Alen means to work. Leanin means to learn or to study.
299:09
Speaker A
Means to shop or to buy groceries and schlafen means to sleep. These verbs are very important because they help you describe a normal day in simple German.
299:21
Speaker A
For example, this means I get up at 7:00. This means I eat breakfast at 8:00. And this means I sleep at 10:00. Today we will learn these verbs slowly and clearly. And we will build a simple daily routine step by step.
299:50
Speaker A
Let's start with the morning routine. The first important verb is alan. Alfan means to get up. This verb is very important, but it's also a separable verb. That means in a simple sentence, one part goes near the front and the
300:08
Speaker A
other part goes to the end. For example, this means I get up at 7:00. Look carefully.
300:21
Speaker A
Is the verb part and al goes to the end. Another example. This means you get up at 6:00 and this means he gets up early. A useful question is this means when do you get up? A simple answer is
300:50
Speaker A
This means I get up at 7:00. Now let's learn means to eat breakfast. For example, this means I eat breakfast at 8:00.
301:07
Speaker A
Another example, this means we eat breakfast together. So remember in the morning you can say And these are very useful A1 daily routine sentences.
301:28
Speaker A
Now let's talk about work and study. The first verb is aon means to work. For example, this means I work on Monday. Another example, this means I work at 9:00 and this means my mother works a lot. A
301:58
Speaker A
useful question is this means when do you work? A simple answer is this means I work on Tuesday. Now let's look at leon. Leon means to learn or to study. For example, this means I study German. Another example
302:26
Speaker A
this means I study in the evening and via this means we study together. A useful question is van lance.
302:39
Speaker A
This means when do you study German? A simple answer is this means I study German in the evening. So remember for work use for study use lean and with time you can say or now let's talk about shopping and
303:03
Speaker A
sleeping. The first verb is incalin means to shop or to buy groceries. This is also a separable verb like alfan for example.
303:20
Speaker A
This means I go shopping on Saturday. Look carefully is the verb part and goes to the end.
303:29
Speaker A
Another example this means we shop at the supermarket and this means she shops after work. A useful question is this means when do you go shopping? A simple answer is this means I go shopping on Saturday.
303:59
Speaker A
Now let's look at means to sleep. For example, this means I sleep at 10:00. Another example this means the child sleeps early. And this means I sleep well. So remember is separable. We say andlafen helps us talk about the end of
304:32
Speaker A
the day. For example, great. Now, let's practice a simple daily routine together. Listen first, then repeat slowly.
304:48
Speaker A
I get up at 7:00. I eat breakfast at 8:00. I work at 9:00. I study German in the evening.
305:10
Speaker A
I go shopping on Saturday. At 10:00, I sleep. Very good. Now remember the main idea to talk about your daily routine. You can use alenuken lean and be careful with separable verbs becomes al andalfen becomes.
305:42
Speaker A
These verbs help you describe your day in simple German. Next, we will continue with more useful everyday German patterns so you can speak more clearly and naturally. Great. Now that we can describe a simple daily routine, we can
305:59
Speaker A
learn an important German pattern that appears in many everyday verbs. Today we will talk about separable verbs in daily life. In German, some verbs have two parts. One part is the main verb and the other part is a small prefix. In a
306:18
Speaker A
simple sentence, the main verb goes in position two and the prefix goes to the end of the sentence. We already saw examples like alen andalfen.
306:32
Speaker A
Today we will practice four useful separable verbs anuen fan and means to shop or to buy groceries. Anen means to call. Fanzan means to watch TV and means to change trains, buses or transport. For example, this means I go shopping today. The verb
307:05
Speaker A
is and the prefix is it goes to the end. Another example. This means I call Anna. The verb is rufa and the prefix is an on. It goes to the end. So today we will learn how these verbs work slowly and clearly with
307:28
Speaker A
useful A1 examples from daily life. Let's start within means to shop or to buy groceries. This verb is useful when we talk about supermarkets, food, daily needs, and weekend plans. In a simple sentence, we do not keep the verb together. We
307:50
Speaker A
separate it. For example, this means I go shopping today. Look carefully. Is in position two and goes to the end.
308:04
Speaker A
Another example. This means I go shopping on Saturday. and via this means we shop at the supermarket.
308:17
Speaker A
Now let's ask a question. This means when do you go shopping? A simple answer is this means I go shopping on Saturday.
308:32
Speaker A
Another question this means where do you go shopping? Answer This means I shop at the supermarket. So remember the full verb is but in a sentence we say the prefix goes to the end. Now let's look at means to call. We use it when we call a
309:03
Speaker A
person on the phone. For example, an this means I call Anna. Look carefully. Rufa is the verb part and an goes to the end. Another example.
309:21
Speaker A
This means I call my brother and this means she calls her mother. Now let's ask a question. Vain roofs do an means who do you call? A simple answer is an means I call Anna. Another useful sentence.
309:47
Speaker A
This means I will call you later. Here means later. Now let's look at a polite situation.
309:58
Speaker A
an this means I call the doctor. This is a very useful sentence for real life. So remember the full verb isen but in a sentence we say ana the prefix an goes to the end.
310:17
Speaker A
Now let's practice two more daily separable verbs. Fanzan and first fan. Fanzan means to watch TV. In a sentence, it separates. For example, and fan goes to the end. Another example via fan this means we watch TV today. Now
310:52
Speaker A
let's ask vanu fan this means when do you watch TV answer this means I watch TV in the evening now let's look at means to change trains buses or transport it is very useful when we talk about travel for example
311:20
Speaker A
this means I change at the train station. Another example in this means I change in Berlin and this means we change to the bus. Now ask this means where do you change? Answer this means I change at the train
311:48
Speaker A
station. So remember fan becomes fan and becomes the prefix goes to the end. Great. Now let's practice separable verbs in daily life together. Listen first then repeat slowly.
312:12
Speaker A
I go shopping today. I go shopping on Saturday. We shop at the supermarket. I call Anna.
312:31
Speaker A
I call my brother. I will call you later. I watch TV in the evening.
312:45
Speaker A
We watch TV today. This means I change at the train station. This means I change in Berlin. And this means we change to the bus. Very good. Now remember the big idea with separable verbs. The main verb goes in
313:12
Speaker A
position two and the prefix goes to the end. For example, becomes an becomes an becomes and becomes.
313:34
Speaker A
These verbs are very useful for daily German because they help you talk about shopping. phone calls, evening activities, and transport. Next, we will continue with more useful everyday German patterns so you can speak more clearly and naturally.
313:53
Speaker A
[snorts] Great. Now that we can talk about daily life, simple actions and useful German sentences, we can learn a very important topic for real conversations. Today we will talk about family, people, and relationships. In German A1, this topic
314:19
Speaker A
is very useful because we often talk about our family, our friends, age, and simple descriptions. We will learn words like defamilia this means the family. Dea this means the father. Dimut this means the mother. Diaba this means the brother
314:44
Speaker A
and this means the sister. We will also learn how to ask about age. For example, this means how old are you? And we can answer this means I am 20 years old. We will also describe people with simple

Great. Now that we can talk about health, appointments, and everyday situations, we can learn another very useful topic for real German life. Today we will talk about the city, directions, transport, and tickets. This lesson is very important in German A1 because we
372:29

383:08
Speaker A
life, we often need to call someone, send a message, write a short email, invite someone, or make an appointment.
383:18
Speaker A
In German we will learn useful words like telephone the phone the call the message the email the emailadong the invitation and termin the appointment. We will also use useful verbs like and for example I call you I write you a message

384:25
Speaker A
means the phone. The word de anh means the call and the verb anhen means to call. This verb is separable. That means in a simple sentence, the main verb goes near the front and the small part goes to the end. For example,
384:48
Speaker A
this means I call you. Look carefully. Is the verb part and an goes to the end.
384:56
Speaker A
Another example. This means I call Anna and This means I call my brother. Now let's use simple phone phrases.
385:14
Speaker A
Can you call me? I cannot talk on the phone right now. I will call back later. A useful question is when will you call me? A simple answer is I will call you later. So remember the full verb is
385:40
Speaker A
but in a sentence we say an small part an goes to the end. Now let's talk about short messages. The word means the message and the verben means to write. In daily life, we often send short messages to friends, family
386:04
Speaker A
or classmates. For example, I write you a message. Another example, please write to me and I will answer later. The verb means to answer or to reply. Now let's learn some very useful short messages.

Speaker A
Hello Anna. Hello Anna. Vus dear. How are you? Do you have time today? I do not have time today.
386:44
Speaker A
I will come later. And see you later. Now let's make a simple message. Hello Anna.
386:56

393:30
Speaker A
You started step by step with simple words, simple sentences, and very easy examples. And now you can understand many important German topics for daily life.
393:47
Speaker A
This final lesson is not a new grammar lesson. It is a simple review of everything we learned together. Just the main titles, just the big picture so you can look back and see your progress.
394:06
Speaker A
You learned how German sentences work. You learned how to ask questions. You learned how to talk about yourself, your family, your home, your daily routine, food [snorts] travel, health, and real everyday situations.
394:28
Speaker A
That is a big step. So, take a moment, be proud of yourself. You did something important. You stayed with the lessons.
394:39
Speaker A
You listened. You repeated. You practiced. And that is exactly how languages are learned slowly, clearly, and step by step.
394:53
Speaker A
Let's remember the first big topics we learned together. We started with German basics. We learned greetings, introductions, the alphabet, numbers, simple pronunciation, and useful first words. Then we learned important grammar basics. We talked about nouns, articles, de d d
395:25
Speaker A
and aa. We learned personal pronouns like ish, do, e, z, and via. We learned important verbs like zine, habin, and many regular verbs. We learned how to build a simple German sentence. We learned verb position, simple questions, yes and no answers, and negative
395:54
Speaker A
sentences. We also learned important small words because in German small words are very powerful. So this first part gave us the foundation, the base, the beginning and without this foundation German would feel difficult. But with it everything becomes clearer.
396:21
Speaker A
Then we learned more useful German patterns. We talked about daily actions, modal verbs, imperatives, polite requests, time, days, months, and dates.
396:38
Speaker A
We learned how to say what we can do, what we must do, what we want, and what we would like. We learned modal verbs like kin, missen, vulen, mechan, duren, and zolen. We learned how to give simple instructions with do, ear, and z. We
397:04
Speaker A
also learned how to talk about time. We practiced clock time, weekday, months, dates, appointments, and daily plans.
397:17
Speaker A
Then we learned separable verbs in daily life like Alfanalfen, Anhufen, Fanzan and these topics help you speak more naturally because they appear again and again in real German conversations.
397:40
Speaker A
After that, we moved into real everyday life. We learned how to talk about family people age relationships home, rooms, and furniture. We learned how to describe a person, a room, a house, or an apartment. Then we practiced food, drinks, the supermarket,
398:07
Speaker A
prices, and simple shopping phrases. We also learned restaurant and cafe German. We practiced how to ask for a menu, how to order politely, how to ask for the bill, and how to pay. Then we talked about clothes, colors, weather, seasons,
398:30
Speaker A
and feelings. We learned useful phrases like meist cat and mereist varmm. Then we learned health German. We talked about body parts, symptoms, the doctor, and appointments. We practiced, which means I need an appointment.
398:56
Speaker A
Then we learned city German, places, directions transport tickets buses trains, and how to ask where something is. Finally, we learned communication German. Phone calls, short messages, simple emails, invitations, and appointments. These topics are practical. They are not just grammar.
399:24
Speaker A
They are real life. So now, what should you do next? Do not try to memorize everything in one day.
399:35
Speaker A
That is not the goal. The goal is to review small parts every day. Listen again, repeat again, write simple sentences, use the examples, say them out loud. Even five minutes a day can make a big difference. You can go back
399:56
Speaker A
to any lesson you need. If you forgot articles, review the article lessons. If you forgot verbs, review the verb lessons. If you want daily German, review the supermarket, restaurant, city, doctor, and appointment lessons.
400:16
Speaker A
Learning German is not about being perfect. It is about progress. One sentence today, one new word tomorrow, one simple conversation next week. Step by step your German becomes stronger. So keep going, keep listening, keep repeating, keep practicing. And that is
400:41
Speaker A
exactly how languages are learned slowly, clearly, and step by step. And now, thank you so much for learning with me. I hope this German A1 series helped you understand the language more clearly. If this series helped you, please support the channel. Like the
