German Words for Sounds – Quiz – Episode 1

Hello everyone, And welcome to a new learning quiz. Hooray! And this is the first part of what I think could be a fun little mini series. Double hooray. Because today, we’ll do a little quiz on German words for Sounds Here’s how it works: In each question, I give you a typical sound as well as a description for what types of things the sound word would be used for. And then I’ll give you four verbs, each with audio, so you can actually hear how they sound when spoken. And you have to pick which verb you think German uses for the actual sound and theme. And along with each answer, I’ll give some reasoning how Germans perceive the sound and what the other ones might stand for. We’ll go over 7 verbs and there’s some built in repetition and recall and a proper recap at the end, so I’ pretty sure after the quiz you’ll have learned at least a few of them. If you then want to practice more, you can use my reading comprehension mode to make a short text around these words. And… drumroll… you can also review the words as flashcard now. Yup, … <a href="https://yourdailygerman.com/lassen-prefix-versions-quiz/">Dive in <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a>
