A2 GERMAN CHAPTER 15A

Описание: Key discussion points and topics covered:

1. The German word "loud"
"Laut" means "according to" or "from".
It was initially used with the genitive case, but recently it has been adjusted to be followed by the dative case.
Examples include: "laut dem Test" (according to the test), "laut dem Audio" (according to the audio).
2. Passive Voice (Normal Verbs and Modal Verbs)
The speaker explains the passive voice concept, noting that in German it often uses "werden".
The difference between the active and passive voice is demonstrated with examples:
Active: "I am cleaning the room" (translates to "Das Zimmer ist geputzt" in a specific context).
Passive: "The room is being cleaned" (translates to "wird geputzt").
Active: "The teacher is teaching the lesson".
Passive: "The lesson is being taught".
The structure of the passive voice with modal verbs is simpler. The modal verb stays in the second position, and the main verb goes to the end of the sentence in its unconjugated form, sticking to "werden".
Example (English): "The lesson can be taught".
Example (German): "Der kann die Lektion lehren" (The teacher can teach the lesson).
3. Reflexive Verbs and Fixed Prepositions
The video dedicates a significant portion to German reflexive verbs, including their meaning, prepositions they are used with, and the formation of their past tense (Partizip II).
The following reflexive verbs are discussed:
Sich freuen (to be happy/look forward to).
Sich vorbereiten auf (to prepare for).
Sich ärgern über/mit (to be angry about/with).
Sich konzentrieren auf (to concentrate on).
Sich anmelden (to register).
Sich unterhalten (to converse/chat).
Sich streiten (to argue/quarrel/fight).
Sich umziehen (to change clothes), contrasting with umziehen (to relocate).
Sich entspannen (to relax).
Sich beschweren über/bei (to complain about/to a person).
Sich verhalten (to behave).
4. Exercise on a Listening/Reading Passage
The participants read and answer questions based on a text or audio about a dating show.
There is confusion and a detailed discussion about the correct timeline for a couple's relationship after meeting on the show, using the phrase "laut dem Test".
Questions from a listening exercise are read aloud and answered, relating to a candidate named Clara and her partner, including the need to be at the studio and who became her partner.
