English, eh? Learn German 10

Learn German with Davi

Hallo Leute was geht ab?

1 - Hey there , this is Davi from English, eh? and you are more than welcome here. In today’s episode we’re mainly focusing on the human body (Der Körper). Los geht’s!

Der Körper – The body

Der Kopf – the head

Der Hals – the neck

Das Auge / Die Augen – the eye/ the eyes

Die Nase – the nose

Der Mund – the mouth

Das Bein – the leg

Der Fuss – the foot

Die Füsse – the feet

Die Hand – the hand

Die Hände – the hands

Now, listen to the following sentences:

Ich hebemeine Hand auf! I lift up my hand.

In German we have something called Trennbare Verben “separable verbs”, which means the prefix tends to appear at the end of the sentence. Just like in aufheben – to lift up (Ich hebe auf – I lift up).

Ich habe meinen Fuss verletzt! (verletzen – to hurt – Ich habe (I have) meinen Fuss (my foot) – verletzt (hurt) I hurt my foot. Here we have a case of present perfect, in German we use more often the present perfect than the simple past. The simple past in German is more used when we wanna tell stories or in formal conversations. We’ll have the entire next episode to explain this, for now just focus on understanding the sentences.

Sie hat den Arm verstaucht. (Sie hat (she has) – den Arm (the arm) verstaucht (sprained). She’s sprainned the arm.

Wir brauchen einen Gehstock zu gehen. We need a walking stick to walk.

Now learn how to say that you’re sick in German as well as some diseases one may have

Mein Gott, ich bin Krank! My God, I’m sick.

Ich bin krankgeschrieben. I’m on sick leave.

Ich habe Kopfschmerzen! I have headache.

Mir geht’s nicht gut. – I’m not doing well.

Du hast eine Erkältung. – You have a cold.

Mir läuft die Nase. – I’ve got a runny nose.

Ich brauche ein Taschentuch. – I need a handkerchief.

Ich habe Husten. – I have a cough.

Ich habe Halsschmerzen. – I have a sore throat.

Er fühlt sich schlecht – He’s feeling bad.

2 - Now listen to everything again and try to repeat after every single sentence.

3 - So, this is it, thank you so much for listening once again keep on practicing! Piss out!

Tschüss!!!
