CBG 1:21 | Talking about the weather

COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

There’s nothing worse that bad weather when you’re on holiday and in this week’s Coffee Break German you’ll learn to avoid it so that you can enjoy travelling in a German-speaking part of the world even more. In this lesson you will learn:



  • to talk about the weather in the present, asking “what is the weather like” and giving appropriate responses;
  • to talk about the weather in the future, asking “what is the weather going to be like tomorrow”, again with a range of suitable responses;
  • how to tell the time in German;
  • how Germans like to spend the summer in our cultural segment with Julia.
