Nothing brings people together like coffee and sweets. Let’s have some. And talk about it. Auf Deutsch.
For this edition of Drei Sätze und Eine Frage, answer the following question: If you were a piece of cake, what kind of cake would you be and why?
You can start the conversation by asking “Wenn du ein Stück Kuchen wärst, was für ein Kuchen wärst du und warum?”
From there the conversation might continue “Ich wäre eine Sachertorte, weil meine Seele aus Schokolade ist…”
And who knows where it might go from there.
What Drei Sätze und Eine Frage is All About
As German learners, we all know that learning words from a textbook is pretty easy, but getting words to come out of your mouth in real time (and make sense) is hard. Meetups look to be good practice, but it’s impossible to be conversant on all the topics that come up in a large group. So how about a little practice?
How This Event Works
- I pick a conversation topic or two in advance and post it in the Meetup description (see above).
- You prepare 3 sentences and a question on that topic.
- During the session, you’ll use your prepared material as we break into pairs and have several short conversations, switching partners every 10 minutes until we’ve conversed as much as we can. Start with your prepared material and let the conversation flow anywhere from there. Feel free to bring your prepared material in written form if you need it along the way.
After that we can dissolve into whatever silliness we need – either auf Deustch or English or both.
Best 3 sentences and question wins a pack of silly putty.
