1 - Fruit or Vegetable? ~5 mins
Some people say a tomato is a fruit, cooks say it is a vegetable. Today we learn die Tomate and seven more vegetable words in German, always with der or die.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name eight vegetables in German with der or die
- Match each German word to its English meaning
- Sort vegetable nouns into the right gender column
2 - Eight German Vegetables ~10 mins
Listen to each card, repeat the German with der or die, then flip to confirm the English. We will learn four vegetables, do a quick recap, then meet four more.
3 - Match the Vegetables ~10 mins
You are at a Saturday market stall in Münster. Flip cards on the board to match each German label on the crate with what it means in English. When a pair is found, the whole class says the German with its article before the match is locked in.
4 - Into Your Copy ~3 mins
The eight vegetable phrases stay on the board. Choose four from today's list (ones you like or would eat) and copy each into your book: article + noun, capital letter on every German noun. No bare words.
5 - Sort by Gender ~10 mins
Drag each vegetable into der (words we say with der) or die (words we say with die). Use the article you learnt; do not guess from English.
