Show me happy without saying anything. Now sad. Now tired.
Today we put German words on those faces, so you can say how you feel in one short sentence.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name eight feelings in German
- Say how you feel with Ich bin…
- Spot those words when you hear them
Listen as each picture is tapped on the board, then say the German back together. We will meet the words in two short rounds of four. Listen for the rounded ü, the ö, and the ä when they appear.
Imagine break time in a German school yard. Watch the board. When a volunteer picks a German word, say it under your breath with Ich bin…. After every match, the whole class choruses the full sentence together.
The word table stays on the board. Open your copy. Copy the frame Ich bin ___., then copy one feeling word from the board into the gap (underline any umlaut). This is copy-from-the-board, not a spelling test.
