Übung 1: Nach dem Sehen: Was haben Sie verstanden?

*Achtung* In the previous video, you may have noticed “gerne” and thought: How is that different than “gern“? We have great news for you today! They are interchangeable and both work. Throughout the activities in this book we use “gern“, but in your daily German life you are able to use either form.

Chalk board with question words: Wer? Wie? Was? Wo? Wann? Woher?

We have been learning many different hobbies. It is important to understand the different ways one can ask you about your hobbies. Here are a few of the ways we have seen thus far:

Was ist Ihr/dein Hobby?
– Ich spiele gern Gitarre.

Was machen Sie gern in Ihrer Freizeit?/Was machst du gern in deiner Freizeit?**
– In meiner Freizeit wandere ich gern. / Ich wandere gern in meiner Freizeit.

Was ist Ihre/deine Lieblingsfreizeitaktivität?
– Meine Lieblingsfreizeitaktivität ist Tanzen.

**Please note, the verb “machen” is only used in the answer if “machen” is part of the hobby. For example:

Was ist dein Hobby? Ich mache gern Yoga.
