Guten Tag!
We had another new addition to our class today. Finally! We are no longer just a rowdy gaggle of boys!
We began with Meine Woche as always, and our listening comprehension was "Millionär" by Die Prinzen.
Our lesson was an introduction to modal verbs, beginning with Wollen and Möchten. We discussed their exact meaning (want, would like) and how idiomatically they express varying degrees of politeness when used to make requests. "Would like" is considered proper whereas just blurting out that one "wants" something is considered childish and even rude.
Accompanying this we had an overall lesson over German syntax, using an acronym I came up with called "SHI/P" (Subject, Helper, Infinitive/Participle).
Our main activity was producing our own little dialogues in pairs; one student in each pair was a bratty child, the other the parent trying to instill some manners and decorum into the kid.
The comparative/superlative quizzes were also handed back.
Mit Vergnügen~
