Hello and welcome back to our channel! I am Theresa,
a native German speaker and German teacher. Together with my sister and colleague
Laura, we want to use this video to help you
speak German more fluently and confidently - with practical exercises that you can use immediately.
How do we do that? We practice typical questions and answers
that you might encounter in everyday conversations. You will also learn useful expressions
and practice your pronunciation through dialogues that we speak or repeat together.
These exercises are perfect for not only expanding your vocabulary,
but also improving your speaking practice and increasing your confidence in conversations.
In this class you will learn:
Practical expressions for your language practice,
Typical questions and answers that you can easily incorporate into real conversations,
Reactions that make your conversations more lively, Useful noun-verb connections.
We also do two interactive dialogue exercises – one for listening
and one for participating. Today's topic is all about the weekend.
Are you ready? Then let's get started! Let's go!
Sleep in I do
n't set an alarm on the weekend. I'm finally going to get a good night's sleep again.
Do you like to sleep in or are you an early riser? Sleeping in means
that you can sleep as long as you want - without an alarm clock and without time pressure.
Lazing around I don't do anything on Saturday
. I just stay at home on the sofa all day and laze around. When I'm free,
I love to just lounge around and not think about work. Lounging means
relaxing and not doing anything productive, e.g. B. by spending your free time on the
sofa or in bed and simply doing nothing. You're lazy - you're lazy.
Going out or going away On Saturday evening I go
out with my friends. We want to go to a bar. Are you going out on the weekend or would you
rather stay at home? Going out or going away means leaving the house to do something. This usually
refers to the evening. So we go out to meet friends at a bar,
or we arrange to meet up for dancing, dinner, etc. The two words going out and going away
have the same meaning, although going out is a bit more formal and usually
refers to more elegant activities, e.g. B. a nice dinner in a good restaurant. If you
're meeting up with friends for a beer in a casual setting, you'd be more likely to use go away.
Do something Company:
I don't want to spend the whole weekend at home. Do you feel like
doing something? Maybe a trip or a walk? We do
n't have any plans yet, but I really want to do something fun with the family.
When we do something, we do something. These are leisure activities,
usually nice things like a walk, a visit to the zoo,
a trip to another city or a visit to the amusement park.
The Couch Potato The Couch Potato:
Do you really want to sit at home all day? You really are a homebody!
My brother is a homebody. He only leaves the house when he has to.
A homebody is a person who likes to spend a lot of time at home and
rarely goes out. If you're a homebody, you feel
most comfortable at home and spend a lot of time in your familiar surroundings.
Brunch Brunch:
A word that we stole from English because it doesn't
have its own German equivalent. On Sunday morning we want to have brunch with friends. There are pancakes,
fruit, rolls, bacon, various salads and of course fresh coffee.
With the verb brunch we describe a meal that
lies between breakfast and lunch and usually has elements of both meals,
e.g. B. Coffee and rolls for breakfast, salads or warm dishes for lunch.
You can say:
I'm going to brunch. We're going for brunch.
I'm having brunch with friends. We have brunch together.
We're meeting for brunch. Now let's look at
how to talk about the weekend and leisure plans in German.
So you can ask someone about their plans. Repeat after me:
What are you planning to do this weekend? Do you have plans for the weekend?
Do you have anything planned for the weekend yet?
What does your weekend look like? Do you have anything nice planned for the weekend?
Here’s how you can respond:
That sounds interesting. Sounds good.
That sounds like a lot of fun.
How nice! That's great.
Well, then I hope you have fun! Have a nice weekend!
You can also show interest by asking:
Do you do this often? E.g.: I'm going to the mountains at the weekend.
Do you do that often? Where do you do that?
E.g.: I will play tennis with friends on Saturday.
Where do you do that?
Have you been doing this for a long time? Eg: I
regularly go salsa dancing on Sundays. Have you been doing this for a long time?
Before we practice a sample dialogue together, let's
take a look at typical noun-verb connections that fit the topic of free time and weekends:
On Sunday we're going on a trip to the mountains. We finally want to hike again.
Would you like to take a trip to the sea this weekend? The weather is supposed to be nice.
Going on a trip means doing something. When you go on a trip,
you usually go away from where you live, e.g. B. to another city, to the mountains or to
the sea. Most of the time this trip doesn't last the whole weekend, but just one day.
On Saturday I'm taking a trip to Munich to meet my friends.
I'll be back home on Sunday . Spending time
I love spending time with my friends on weekends. We often play
games together or cook delicious meals. Would you like to spend time with me tomorrow?
We could go to the cinema. Spending time means
doing something together, enjoying time together or with each other.
I spend a lot of time with my best friend.
We spent a lot of time at the mall. Making plans
Yesterday we made plans to spend the summer together in Italy.
Let's make plans for what we could do next weekend.
Making plans means something like making plans, i.e. planning something.
By the way, here you see a blacksmith: the blacksmith.
We make a plan.
We make plans. Give yourself a break
After this tiring week, I finally give myself a break and relax on Saturday.
You work so much – you should really give yourself a break.
Taking a break means setting aside time for rest or relaxation. When you
treat yourself to something, you reward yourself for something.
If you've worked a lot, reward yourself with a weekend
where you do nothing but relax.
You give yourself a break. Enjoying the peace and quiet
I prefer to enjoy the peace and quiet with a cup of tea on the balcony.
After a stressful day, I just turn off my phone and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Enjoying means doing something with joy.
You can enjoy a vacation, enjoy an evening with friends or just enjoy the peace and quiet.
Let's practice together now. You'll now hear a dialogue
where we're talking about weekend plans. If you have subtitles turned on,
it's best to turn them off and just concentrate on the conversation.
Hey Theresa, do you have anything planned for the weekend?
Actually not much. I finally wanted to get a good night's sleep and just laze around. The
week was just so full. So I'm going to make myself comfortable with a good book. And you?
Sounds good! I'm going to have brunch with some friends on Sunday.
I'm really looking forward to it . That sounds like a lot of fun.
I'm more of a homebody, you know. I prefer to stay at home and enjoy the peace and quiet.
You're right, sometimes a relaxing weekend like this is just the thing.
That's correct. Well then I hope you have fun! Thank you, have a nice weekend too!
We're now listening to the conversation again. You can now too
Read along in the subtitles and see if you understand everything.

Actually not much. I finally wanted to get a good night's sleep and just laze around. The
week was just so full. So I'm going to make myself comfortable with a good book. And you?

'm more of a homebody, you know. I prefer to stay at home and enjoy the peace and quiet.
You're right, sometimes a relaxing weekend like this is just the thing.
That's correct. Well then I hope you have fun! Thank you, have a nice weekend too!
If we now hear this conversation a third time, you will take on Laura's role. So you speak
Laura's text so that you speak the dialogue together with me. If that's too fast for you
, no problem. Repeat this step until you can read along at the original pace.
Actually not much. I finally wanted to get a good night's sleep and just laze around. The
week was just so full. So I'm going to make myself comfortable with a good book. And you?
That sounds like a lot of fun. I'm more of a homebody, you know. I prefer
to stay at home and enjoy the peace and quiet. That's correct. Well then I hope you have fun!
Finally, let’s now practice your own dialogue. I'll ask you a few questions about your
plans for the weekend, and you'll answer me as spontaneously as possible. Here we go:
Hey, what's your weekend looking like? Do you have something nice planned?
That sounds interesting. Do you do that often?
I'll probably go hiking. The weather is supposed to be so nice.
Well then I wish you a nice weekend!
