You’ll learn words like doctors and teachers, see how German makes nouns plural in several different ways, and meet the umlaut as a small mark with a big sound. You’ll also practise your first full regular verb: streiken — to strike. Today’s sentence is: Die Ärzte und die Lehrer streiken heute. Hosted on Acast.

   Day 3: Der, die, das — never learn a naked noun

   Get the learning sheet and homework at www.linguawire.com/dayone. Today is the famous German article day: der, die, das. Instead of trying to make German gender “make sense,” you’ll learn the LinguaWire rule: never learn a naked noun. Felix and Leonie introduce government, police, army, streets, and heute — today — while completing your first real sein patterns. Today’s sentence is: Die Regierung, die Polizei und die Armee sind heute auf den Straßen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
