Vocabulary: In Lektion 4, we learned about grocery shopping and grocery items such as milk,
meat, bread, flour etc. We also learned about the different way grocery items are packaged. It
was nice seeing the similarities and some crossovers between English and Deutch when it
comes to grocery shopping. In Lektion 5, we discussed vacations, tours and famous sight-seeing
locations. Some words were a little bit difficult to remember because they are so long. For ex:
die Sehenswürdigkeit. The word Rundgage I had initially thought meant roundabout but it had a
polar opposite meaning. In Lektion 6, we learned about Festivals and theaters. Just like Lektion
5, there are a bunch of lengthy words and I have come to realize that a lot of vocabulary words
in Deutch are a lot longer compared to English.
Culturally: In Lektion 4, we saw in a video that the German grocery stores have triangle paper
bags for picking produce items which is very different from the grocery stores here. I have
actually not seen a Canadian grocery store that uses paper bags to pick up fruits or vegetables.
