Last year I found some videos on How German Sounds Compared to Other Languages which I used as an attention grabber when we started this topic. What I'm hoping to do next year is capitalize on this common meme:

I found a couple examples to show students (look for ones like "ich liebe dich," "Aschenputtel," "Staatsangehörigkeit," and "Naturwissenschaften"). I plan to have students create their own. I made a template for them where they just have to insert the different words.
If you're interested in a copy, it's available for free on TPT.
Hopefully this will be a fun, beginning of the year activity that not only helps them review German (and maybe learn a few new words!) but also get them to be a little more culturally savvy :)

Liebe Frau Leonard,
ReplyDeleteI love all of the effort that you put into your classes! You seem incredibly dedicated to teaching and to your students.
Making all of your work open-source is really nice! I'll be referring to these once I start working on my Germanistik Master in September. I just posted a link to my language start-up's Twitter page:) @chatterplot
Hope you're having a nice Wednesday!
Thank you!

Thank you! I remember how hard it was when I started teaching to find *anything* German related online. So much French and Spanish... Now that I have more time, I want to share what I've done to help other German teachers :)
DeleteGood luck on your Germanistik Master!
