Was wir von Tieren über die Deutsche Sprache lernen können?

You know that our hearing can be heard as many words as possible because the story is a picture in us. And the picture stays longer. And now there is something that many do not expect immediately. The animals are very good for such stories. Because we are automatically connected with certain properties. A fox works smart, a lion is strong, a prey is new. Therefore, our hearing can be heard faster without being explained much. That is why we work with animals often but well. They show typical human situations but in a simple, clear form. You can use feelings, emotions, or decisions without a complex conversation. And maybe you already know this species of communication. For example, children's books or short animal stories that are over 2,500 years old. They are found in African, Asian, and European traditions. And almost everywhere it is about moral behavior. How you conflict. How you work together. Where someone abyss limits. Or how you go around with difficult feelings. The animals over there are strange roles so that we know the culture faster. No matter which language we speak. Today I would like to show you why this species of short conversations can help you to speak German, of course, and safely. Very, very, very complicated grammar. And of course, now the Christmas time begins in Germany. And that means really, it's time for stories. So, let's go! A fox talks about the garden sound and says up to the wall a heavy, dark hole hangs that in the sun glides. They have to taste wonderful. He thought. And jump afterwards. But the hole hangs too high. He calls on running and jumping. And fails again. One more time he tries to eat with full power. But also that nothing happens. Finally, how to stand up? He shuddles his head and says, "Ah, what? The women are without a hint." Maybe you know this situation. You want something unending. Try a few times and at some point you say, "Ah, so important, I'm not right now." So that's a very human behavior but in a very simple way. You immediately understand what's happening here. And exactly here begins the exciting thing for the German learning. The good thing about this short little story is that they will be able to do abstract words. A lot of advanced learnings will be understood as "Hochmut, neid, takt" or "eitelkeit" is not so important because they are too abstract. A color shows this behavior as "handlung." You see the "hochmut." You see the "neid." The meaning is "cörperlich spürber." Our hearing is generally difficult with abstractions. What is very well understood is images. If you face a picture in your head, you can't just understand words that are correct. You can also see a slight mark. A bird and a dream, you enter as much faster as the word "eitelkeit." I often say that you need stories to be truly aware of. And just as you try to make a sense of a handlung you can also use it differently. If you learn a new word, then you build a little story. You don't have to write like Fontane or Eser. But a small moment, a picture, a scene is enough. What more can be done? If you exactly notice, you notice quickly that it also changes something from the expression. German paints are often clear and smooth. It helps to learn many things that come from language very well, because they can feel how the directness in German works without being unfriendly. It is a small set, but very precise. And this precision often affects its own language. Furthermore, many paints have a rhythm who makes it easier to remember. Short sets, repeatings, clear pictures. That works almost as much as music. And this rhythm helps the memory to draw structures without that you are aware of. Here is an example. The frame is on the tree. The fox is below. The frame is brown. The fox is light. That is not a big rule, but it has this clear pulse. And exactly this pulse helps to learn typical German set of patterns automatically to remember. Without grammar and without big explanations. And then there is something that I particularly like. Fathers show cultural preferences without that you sleep through a reading book. They advise what is in a society as a criminal. What as a betrayer? What as a clown or as a lover? Nothing, because it is locked, but because you are bored. You understand suddenly. Why some regulations in German become so? And not just how they are grammatically installed. And if you look at all these things, of course, colors are not only hidden in between them. They show us very practically how you create abstract words. Clear structures and, at the same time, cultural nuances are played. What does this mean for you as a German teacher? That means that you can use these stories to implement your language and freely. For example, you can tell a painting after, just like I did with the fox. And in this way you know the values of the eight, which you prefer, perhaps only theoretically. Or you take a new word, a feeling, or a handling and you build your own mini-story. By telling that, you notice how the values, of course, stay in the head. You can also know the rhythm of the sentence. Short, clear sentences, repeatable sentences. That doesn't make the content understandable, but then you send your language feeling for the clang and the flow of the German language. In the end, you don't even think that you are a literary person. It's about playing stories. You want your head to show and speak actively. Even if these stories are very easy to express, and maybe even more to click a child's book. You can still make it wonderful to use the German language. They help you to make sense of words and feelings. In addition, you are clearly structured and speak to pupils instead of thinking. And that's exactly what it is worth doing. Just for quick learning. When you have the chance, you can read this sentence in the language clock directly. The topic is rather complicated and animals that we show how German, natural and understandable. The first sentence is always fast and you can try all the materials there. You can also hear a lot of stories and speak briefly after or develop your own mini-fabler. So, don't forget to try it out loud or loud. Play with the words and discover how much fun you can learn German. Use this cozy year-end. Do a T. Play back and let the German language not work, but a way, a small trip. Because at the end we learn the best when listening to the heart and not only the head. I wish you a wonderful, well, and experienced week in what the word is. And a good start in the advanced time. Bis zum nächsten mal.
