Guten Abend!
The school year has begun. Please view this space weekly for updates on what we have gone over, as well as assignments, homework, and of course jokes about ponies.
The day opened with what is traditionally for the school year our first listening comprehension exercise, "Kochen Mit Kimberly," from my favorite German podcaster, Mirellativegal. We then went into a quick presentation whereupon I introduced myself to the class.
We then went over class expectations, the run of the room, and then started learning.
Our topic for the day was preferences. We talked about gern, lieber, and am liebsten, and how they are used (paired with "haben") to express like, preference, and favorite. This was then compared to "Lieblings" which can be affixed to a noun to make a favorite as well.
"Ich habe Snickers am liebsten" and "Snickers ist mein Lieblingscandy" being functionally the same, though the second one is category-specific.
We went around and did questionnaires with one another, asking about preferences and favorites, as practice.
After the break, we played kahoot over this topic, and also did some probing exercises to give me a better feel for the class' proficiency levels.
I don't assign homework if it can be avoided. Today was no exception.
That was our first week.
Mit Vergnügen!
