Ninth meeting held online

Family

Online meeting - Vocabulary: family members, means of transport and directions

Yesterday we talked about our families and taught each other the necessary vocabulary. It was nice to have this conversation and at the same time practise some of the vocabulary I had learned before. I also liked that I could add some special German words, namely the Hessian dialect, since I come from Hessen.

The vocabs said in Spanish were:

  • Parents – Los padres
  • Father – Padre
  • Mother – Madre
  • Son – Hijo
  • Daughter – Hija
  • Brother – Hermano
  • Sister – Hermana
  • Siblings – Hermanos
  • Grandparents – Los abuelos
  • Grandfather – Abuelo
  • Grandmother – Abuela
  • Uncle – Tío
  • Aunt – Tía
  • Nephew – Sobrino
  • Niece – Sobrina
  • Cousin – Primo

I translated the same into German and taught the following in addition:

  • Dad – Papa,
  • Mom – Mama
  • Twins – Zwillinge
  • Grandpa – Opa
  • Grandma – Oma
  • Godfather – Pate (Hessian dialect: Petter)
  • Godmother – Patin (Hessian dialect: Döt)

After talking about our families, we translated some means of transport and directions, as these are often needed when travelling.
