At GermanFest this summer I hosted a short German lesson on this year’s theme: Forestry to Industry. The lesson is called “Der Wald in Deutschland” and it was a great lesson! People would meander on by to read it, kids doing the Kulturpass (a passport for the Culture area of GermanFest) would check out the photos, and it was a great way to start a conversation with people. My lovely volunteers handed out a vocabulary list for people to use as a reference and to take home with them.
Here are seven of the vocabulary words from that lesson, which you can learn here today, plus you’ll also find out how to download that same vocabulary list and take this short, free German lesson on “Der Wald in Deutschland.” Here at GermanWithNicole.com we're also celebrating this year's Tag der deutschen Sprache with this lesson!

Of course, there are many more than 5 reasons, however here are 5 of those reasons to read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
I read it several years ago, and several of my clients have read it, and they keep recommending it to their spouses and friends.
It is one of the very few books I have read which moved me so deeply I had to stop reading at some moments and cry or simply take in the words. There is a vivid memory I have, sitting in my zero-gravity chair on the balcony beneath the Lindenbaum in a previous apartment, and the wave of an emotion that swept up in me at one particular point in the book, and it moved me so deeply in part because I read it in German.
Die Bücherdiebin.

Die Uhr means "the watch."
Die Schweiz means Switzerland.
Coincidence?
I think not.
In seriousness, though, I grew up with the preconception that all Swiss watches were extraordinarily expensive. Sehr teuer.
Then I discovered this Swiss watch company and discovered that you CAN buy a high quality, Swiss watch for under $500.
Ausgezeichnet.

In this audio and article, you'll discover when a good time is to start reading Harry Potter in German. You'll also hear why that's a good time to start it. We'll break down only the first two sentences of the book, both in English and in the German translation, to support this, and we'll have some fun along the way.
Think of this episode like a special map for German learning. ;-)
When should I read Harry Potter in German?
“Now that I've finished chapter three of the German book, I decided to order the first Harry Potter book in German. I'm going to read it in German!” My client's eyes beamed at me through the webcam.
Oy! I choked my reaction down. She just learned to say things like Wiesbaden liegt westlich von Frankfurt and Mein Zimmer ist hell, aber nicht so groß and she has no concept how hard Harry Potter is going to be in German.
I broke the news to her gently...and I promise to be kind to you today, too.
