Hi!

2. PRACTICE ADJECTIVES FOR NATIONALITIES AND LANGUAGES
Today, you are only going to practice adjectives for nationalities. The same are used for languages. You
do have to know that they speak German in Austria, though. And that they speak English in Australia, the
UK, the US, Ireland etc. And that apart from speaking English in Canada, French is also an official
language there. But I consider that common knowledge.

So, you’ll spend today practicing in your workbook. Please do the following exercises:
WB p.113/24 (You do have to know which European countries you’re looking at).
p.114/25 (The things in the pictures are typical of which countries?)
p.114/26 (Translate the languages into English. Use a dictionary!)
p.115/27
It’s a tree which represents the evolution of languages. You have to fill in two more languages from the
Romance group (romanski izvor), meaning they come from Latin and are similar to Romanian, French
and Portuguese. Which two are they? The next group is Germanic (germanski), which are similar to
Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic etc. The last group is Slavonic (slovanski), which are similar to Slovak,
Czeck, Polish, Croatian, Serbian etc.

WB p.116/29 (Do you recognize any of the literary heroes? Where are they from? Match!)

That’s it for today. Hope it didn’t take too much time.

Stay safe
