The Cafe influence

Guten Morgen!


Last week's Deutschkurs was all about the Cafe: how to order, how to pay, what to order, etc. That's why I've been inspired to search for a list of Deutsch terms for their food along with it's Englisch definition. My research yielded a lot of results and I'll be posting updates regarding these terms every now and then. But for now, here are some of the few things I've found:
Abendbrot, das
noun
light supper, literally "evening bread
Abendessen, das
noun
dinner
abgießen
verb

abkühlen
verb
to cool off, cool down
abseihen
verb

abtropfen

alkoholfrei

anbraten
verb

anschwitzen
verb

Apfel, der
noun

Apfelkuchen, der

I'll post pictures along with maybe a more detailed descriptions of these terms. Till next time! Auf Wiedersehen!

The Cafe influence: Part 2

Guten Tag! I really wanted to post new updates about the Food Vocabulary that I found last week. The lesson about the Cafe last week really inspired me to research about Deutsch cuisine and such. I'm also quite happy with the list I found in an online Deutsch food website. It's where I'll be getting all my food terms & definitions from. The site shares a glossary of food terms! It's really a list from A-Z! Amazing! The glossary can be found here: [ x ] So here is another list of terms with their definitions. I'll be posting pictures of it in the next entries! Enjoy!

Amidst the millions, my eyes were set on only one.

The German Alphabet wasn't enough for me so I decided to search for a video about numbers and I found this perfect clip! It's amazingly easy to understand, plus the tune is quite catchy. Perfect for starters like me!!! I shall play this over and over again so I can become familiar with the pronunciation, inflection and such. It's difficult to learn a new language but it can be done! :-)

The hunt continues, and I land on YouTube.

The perks of having no classes on a Monday is that I get to catch up on any homework and/or project that I've missed during the weekend. And so I've dedicated the whole morning of today to scour the World Wide Web for anything that might help me with my German. YouTube was perhaps one of the best choices for this feat. At first I didn't know what to look for and the millions of videos available in YouTube did not help me decide. Thank goodness I suddenly remembered a lesson we had last, last week when Frau Arroyo played the German Alphabet for us. Without further ado, here it is! I downloaded it and have been listening to it for the past few minutes. :-)
