Chapter 1 – Extra Practice
EXTRA PRACTICE: Goethe Institut: Erste Wege in Deutschland
→Folge 1 (Episode 1)—Im Bus (In the Bus)
Click on the link to go to the video with interactive exercises. You should get a better understanding of how the bus system in Germany works, as well as some basic everyday phrases. The exercises may have some words in them that you don’t understand, but a dictionary can help.
→Deutsche Welle–Vocabulary Trainer
The following vocabulary lessons have content from this chapter and future chapters. Each exercise starts with a brief video and has interactive exercises for practicing vocabulary. If you want to do a lesson again, simply hit “reset” next to the exercise and try it as many times as you want.
→DuoLingo—German
This site offers mostly vocabulary practice and translation exercises. You will need to set up an account (free). The vocabulary does not necessarily follow the exact order of this textbook, but it will definitely build up your vocabulary, which will help you later on. For example, the first exercises cover food, which we will do in Chapter 2.
→Mondly—German
Like DuoLingo, this site offers mostly vocabulary practice and translation exercises. However, it is organized around certain vocabulary themes that you can select at random. You will need to set up an account (free). Between exercises, the site will advertise programs that you can buy, but it will disappear if you click on the next activity.
