O resumo de gramática do melhor curso de alemão em Berlim

Fernanda, 28. Oktober 2019

 

Olá a todos 

Deixa eu apresentar o novo melhor amigo de vocês!

Eu confesso que peguei um destes resumos quando me inscrevi na Deutsch Akademie e pensei que provavelmente nem usaria. Tolinha… Depois de tanto uso, um deles fica na parede da cozinha para me fazer companhia no café da manhã e o outro com meus livros. Esse resumo me ajuda a lembrar quando e como usar as preposições e a tabela dos artigos tem me ajudado bastante com a declinação de artigos.  Em algum ponto do meu aprendizado pensei que nunca saberia quando é dativ ou akkusativ. Ainda bem que as coisas mudaram! 

Liebe Grüße 🙂

Go Trabbi Go!

Fernanda,  25. October 2019

Hello everybody!

 You probably saw one of these cars circulating over Berlin. The Trabant car was produced by East Germany and became one of its symbols until today. The interesting of this car is the material used to make the body, duroplast (a mixture of plastic, resin and fiberglass). At the time people from the East had to wait around 10 years to have a car, because only a limited number of cars were produced per year. If you have a valid drivers license, you can have the experience to drive one, there is several agencies that rent this car for a day for you to have a tour around Berlin. I did and was very nice. My only tip is to avoid this tour in winter. They don’t have heat system!

Nightlife in Berlin

Fernanda, 24. October 2019

Hello everybody! 

Nightlife in Berlin is famous, especially for the eclectic options, from electronic to Punk Rock and all kind of cultures. I would suggest you to try Clärchens Ballhaus. The building dated from 1913 opened as a dance hall and through the years has been a dance/club for generations in Berlin Mitte. After WWII the records were lost and the building was damaged. Since then the entrance is visible from the street and looks the same until today. In front of the entrance, there’s a small beer garden to enjoy while you wait for your friends or just enjoy a night outside. The place has some life bands, food and a great atmosphere!

A Must-See for students at the best German school in Berlin

Fernanda, 22. October 2019

Hello everybody!

Here is something historical and for free to do for all students at the best German school in Berlin: the Reichstag. The building was constructed as a house for the parliament of the German Empire from 1894 to 1933. Of course, as most of the city, it was damaged with the war. The building was not the house of the government anymore, given the separation between East and West after the war, and it took some time to start the reconstruction. They slowly reconstruct and refurbished the Reichstag, but only after the German reunification in 3 October 1990 was possible to join efforts and the modern Bundestag was ready in 1999. Today is possible to visit the dome and have a 360o view of Berlin, and be a spectator in one of the sessions from the Bundestag.

Olá a todos!

Apesar de todo mundo estar aprendendo alemão, as vezes é difícil entender e se comunicar, principalmente quando temos que lidar com a burocracia. Aqui pode ser ainda mais complicado, então aí vão algumas dicas práticas 🙂

Burgeramt: é tipo uma subprefeitura onde geralmente precisamos fazer o registro de residência (Anmeldung). Não é necessário fazer o registro no Burgeramt mais próximo, é possível fazer em qualquer um. E se você renovou o passaporte e precisa transferir o visto, pode fazer isso lá também. Para evitar marcar horário, ou ficar horas esperando, aí vai a dica: vá em um bairro mais afastado do centro! Eu fiz o meu no Burgeramt Buch, cheguei perto do horário que eles abrem, e tudo foi resolvido em menos de meia hora.

Espero ter ajudado!

Sunday evenings in Berlin: Tatort!

Fernanda, 18. October 2019

Hello everybody!

 I need to talk about Tatort! For those who never heard, it’s a TV series like all the CSIs. Tatort is a german production from ARD, and it has been on air since 1970, with the same opening and music. Every Sunday is a new episode, but the interesting part is the team. Every week they change the city that is based, which means, there is a team from Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Hannover, and also from other German speaking countries, like Austria and Switzerland. Each city has a team of investigators, so there is no connexion between the episodes; the crimes are solved in 90 minutes. If you don’t have a TV license, usually the episode stays available for a week on ARD-Mediatek, but you can also watch in a bar. Yes, some places show Tatort on Sunday nights and make of this an event, with friends getting together to watch. I highly recommend you to try!

Flea Markets in Berlin and it´s treasures!

Fernanda, 16. October 2019

Hello everybody!

You’ve probably heard about Flea Market at Mauerpark on Sundays and the open karaoke, but Berlin has so much more. Antique Market at Ostbahnhof station has over 120 stands and most of them with furniture, art, design items and books. Happening on Saturdays or Sundays you can find really nice gifts, old furniture, records and antiques. Some of them do not sell only old stuff; you can find also handmade clothes and accessories. Even if you don’t want to buy anything, you can try tasty food from the market. Here’s the official link to see where you can find the nearest market from you: https://www.berlin.de/en/shopping/markets-and-flea-markets/

«Der», «die» oder «das»? :-)

Fernanda, 14. October 2019

 

Olá a todos!

Precisamos falar sobre os artigos!

Nós não temos na língua portuguesa o artigo neutro e isso pode assustar quem está começando a estudar alemão, mas não desista!

Infelizmente não existe uma regra para isso, mas existem algumas dicas que funcionam na maioria dos casos.

Assim como no português a terminação da palavra pode indicar o artigo:

DER

  • ER: Leher, Fahrer
  • ISMUS: Sozialismus, Jornalismus

DIE

  • E: Reise, Biene
  • UNG: Zeitung, Wohnung
  • HEIT: Gesundheit, Freiheit
  • KEIT: Süßigkeit, Schnelligkeit

DAS

  • O: Auto, Konto
  • NIS: Ergebnis, Geheimnis
  • MENT: Medikament, Parlament

«Der, die, das! Wer, wie, was? Wieso, weshalb, warum? Wer nicht fragt bleibt dumm!» (Vila Sésamo)

Lessons of «when», «when» & «when» at the best German school in Berlin

Fernanda, 11. October 2019

 

Hello everyone!

When, when, when? In English is all the same, in Portuguese also (quando, quando, quando?), but not in German. If we translate ALS, WENN or WANN is the same. So how do I know?

WANN – it’s only used in a question.

Ex. Wann kann ich gehen?

WENN – you can use in a sentence when the fact happened more than once. Can be used in past, present or future.

Ex. Wenn ich mit dem Fahrrad fahre, trage ich einen Helm.

ALS – you can use in a sentence when the fact happened just once and in the past.

Ex. Als ich ein Kind war, hatte ich ein Hund.

 

Hope this will help you in your journey at the best German school in Berlin!
