For the first class of the new year, we had surprisingly (but understandably) sparse attendance. It was just the girls and I, so we made the most of it and spent the day working on something that required honing but would not cause the rest of the class to fall behind: pronunciation.
We went through a list of tongue twisters or Züngenbrecher that I have on hand, and went over the individual phonemes of German that make them as difficult as they are.
These are the usual problem sounds for growing speakers, such as ü, ö, ei and ie, z, ß and ä.
We also threw shiny objects at each other and played "popcorn" before making and reciting our own Züngenbrecher and making one as a class.
And that's a wrap! Fun and speaking were had by all.
Mit Vergnügen~
