Lesson Transcript

Welcome to Can Do German by GermanPod101.com.

Hallo zusammen. Ich heiße Katrin Preusler.

"Hi everyone! I’m Katrin Preusler."

In this lesson, you'll learn how to talk about your family from a parent’s perspective.

This is Karen Lee and she’s studying with her German teacher, Finja Fischer.

Finja notices a picture on Karen’s computer and asks,

"Is this your family?"

Ist das Ihre Familie?

Listen to the conversation, and focus on the response.

Note: Finja uses formal German.

Ready?

Ist das Ihre Familie?

Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Mein Mann, mein Sohn, meine Tochter, und ich.

Once more with the English translation.

Ist das Ihre Familie?

"Is this your family?"

Ja. Das ist meine Familie. Mein Mann, mein Sohn, meine Tochter, und ich.

"Yes. This is my family. My husband, my son, my daughter, and me."
