22. September '18 - Hast du ihn gern?

Guten Abend!

This past Saturday was an interesting one.

We began as per usual, with an introduction into my week, "Meine Woche," with its accompanying question and answer session, followed by our listening comprehension exercise. This week it was "Das Letzte Streichholtz" by "Oomph!", a different take on the story of Cinderella.

We reviewed what we had learned last week about how to express preferences with haben and gern, lieber or am liebsten, and added the verbs "lieben" and "hassen" for their own slightly different, idiomatic meanings.

After practicing with this for a while, and after the break, we attempted an old classic game that I used to use with the lower grades, "Hast du mich gern?" The objective of which is to make your neighbor laugh by stating "Ich habe dich gern! Hast du mich gern?" and awaiting their answer. Non answers, failure to say "Nein," or laughing meant the askee lost, and the asker proceeded onward through the circle until someone managed to answer correctly without laughing.
It was chaotic. And fun.

We ended class with each student describing, in their own words and own unprompted opinions, what they thought Steve (the class pony) liked and disliked.

Mit Vergnügen~
