Hello friends,
best regards to all of you. In this brief post I will show you how to learn German with newspapers and magazines. It is also useful when you have almost no motivation or time. The easiest way is to open any news portal such as Deutsche Welle, Tagesanzeiger or Frankfurter Allgemeiner. It could any other web page as well.
If you are interested in sport, please select sport, if in culture – select culture, if in finances – select finances. Dozens of articles will be available to you in just one click. Focus on couple of them and try first to understand, what is the given topic about. Keywords such as nouns, verbs, adverbs etc. play crucial role in title perception.
From the below example, the article refers to Goethe-Institut, that has been promoting German language for 75 years worldwide. Deutschland Stimme in der Welt means German voice in the world. The featured image might also make a short introduction into the given event or occasion.
Another example: Wie ich den Fußball wieder lieben lernte. As you can see, the young man stands in the foreground and tries to manipulate with the ball. Keywords here are: Fußball, lieben and lernte.
It is translated as: How I learned to like (love) football again.
As you have already got the main idea of described method, let me share few other examples with translations.
Immer mehr Ärzte verlassen Wiens Spitäler. -> More and more doctors leaving Vienna’s hospitals.
Keywords: mehr, Ärzte, verlassen, Spitäler
Mieten in Österreich erneut deutlich gestiegen -> Rents in Austria significantly risen again.
Keywords: Mieten, Austria, erneut, gestiegen.
E-Autos boomen weltweit, was treibt den Trend? -> Electric cars booming worldwide, what is driving this trend?
Keywords: E-Autos (electrical cars), boomen, weltweit, Trend
And the last example for today: So handeln Sie richtig, wenn sich Ihr Kleinkind an der heissen Pfanne verbrennt. -> Here’s how to deal correctly if your baby burns on a hot pan.
Keywords: handeln, richtig, Kleinkind, sich verbrennt.
You will not beleive, however this strategy can significantly expand your German vocabulary in a short period of time. Please utilize this approach and stay happy.
As it is enough for today, I wish you strong motivation and consistency in any subject you are learning, my dear friends. Bis zum nächsten Mal. Tschüssi.
