Kapitel Drei: Komm mit nach Hause

Students in German-speaking countries often go straight home after school-to eat, to do their homework, or to be with their families. What do you and your friends usually do after school? Let's find out more about teenagers in German-speaking countries-their after-school activities, their rooms, and their families.

In this chapter you will learn

  • to talk about where you and others live
  • to offer something to eat and drink and to respond to an offer
  • to say please, thank you, and you're welcome
  • to describe a room
  • to talk about family members and to describe people

    And you will

  • listen to a description of someone's room
  • read personal profiles of students in German-speaking countries
  • write a description of a real or imaginary family based on a family tree that you will make
