Hello! It's Travel Thursday today!
We studied German in high school for about year and a half and we thought we could teach y'all a little bit of it, you know, in case you decide to go to Germany. And, just for the record, we DID learn a lot of things, but mainly things regarding school, animals and colors. Hahahaha. So bear with us. We guess you should read this in case you decide to go to Germany to talk about school, animals and colors. Who knows? It could be really useful (yeah, right). But, this is gonna be fun.
First we got the animals, we learned a bunch of animals in German. Our favorite animal in German is Papagei, which means parrot. And if you say der Papagei ist bun, it means the parrot is colorful. Yay! Obviously, you really needed to learn that. Also, you never know when you're gonna need a pen, so we will teach you how to say that. It is Kugelschreiber, mostly known -and easier to remember-as Kuli. There you have it, now you know one more word in German.
If you go to Germany, you probably won't need to write in German, but remember this: all nouns start with capital letter. ALL OF THEM. Just a little tip for you, (even if you're only gonna speak and not write in German).
Something that’s always helpful, especially when it comes to hotel rooms, phone numbers and saying the time…THE DIGIT NUMBERS.
One - eins Six - sechs
Two - zwei Seven - sieben
Three - drei Eight - acht
Four - vier Nine - neun
Five - fünf Ten - zehn
