Herr Morgan's TY amnesia.

To the students of TY, I apologize unreservedly for not putting up the homework yet. If you're reading this, be assured I'll have something up by Monday evening. So there.

Fifth years, exams will be returned this week. The next assessment will be oral. I'll go through marking and content on Tuesday.


Tschuess!

Herr Morgan

Man nehme in der richtigen Reihenfolge - Essen und Wortstellung (word order)

Essen: How to cook Maultaschen. Lecker!!



If you want to sing the baking song - Backe Backe Kuchen, like the Frischlinge of First Year, then play the karaoke version below:




Third and Sixth years may find the following video about basic word order in German useful. "The Dark Secrets of German Word Order" (spooky...)

Mach doch alleine etwas!

2nd years!

Below is a link for practising how to talk about where we live. It's a powerpoint from the Times Educational Supplement. Really good. Viel Spass!! Herr Morgan

6th years!! As promised, here is the video explaining the Futur 1 for you:

Karneval - Koelle Allaaf!!!! And so forth...and Hausaufgaben for 6th Years

Karneval, and German Homework

2.) Karneval

Not to be outdone by the carneval in Rio, or Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the Catholic bits of Germany have their own week long celebration, coming to a head on the Monday before Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins.

In Germany it has many names, the fifth season, 'Die fuenfte Jahreszeit', Fasching, Fasnacht, Fasnet, Karneval ...

Interestingly it begins in November, on the 1th day of the 11th month at 11.11 am...

Watch the beginning here


In the very south of Germany, around the Black Forest and into Switzerland, it's all a bit more pagan, as in Rottweil, where wooden masked beings chase Winter away. See here

2.) 6th Years!!! Here is your homework on the Dativ. Follow the instructions. and by the way, the picture below is a Fachwerkhaus. I'm not just making words up:)

Es ist jetzt Mid Term Break, alspo hier fuer euch, ein bisschen Musik - Wir sind Helden!

Useful Radio and TV Links

Want to do valuable homework an make it feel like you're doing something fun? It's never been so easy to access the German speaking world, thanks to the internet. On the right hand side, in the 'Useful German Links' box, you can click on any of th hyperlinks and go straight to top TV and Radio Stations.

TV: the ARD Mediathek is the iPlayer for the main German TV station, ARD. YOu can watch trashy sopas like 'Sturm der Liebe' and 'Marienhof', or the main news show on German TV, 'Tagesschau'.

I've also put up links to some Geman RAdion stations. The first is NDRInfo, which is the news station of the North German Broadcaster, NDR, which provides news for ARD. This is really useful for Leaving Cert students wanting to hone their listening comprehension skills (part 4 is news, don't forget!!)

Well put up more stuff as we get a chance, keep watching!!
