Have you ever checked the weather forecast before going outside? In Germany, people check 'das Wetter' every day to plan their day. Today you'll learn how to talk about the weather in German - just like a real German weather reporter!
Germany has all kinds of weather, from sunny beaches in the north to snowy mountains in the Alps. Knowing these words will help you chat about the weather with German friends or understand weather reports when travelling.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Describe 8 different types of weather in German
- Listen to a German weather report and understand it
- Talk about today's weather like a German meteorologist
Here are today's new German weather words. Click each word to hear how it's pronounced! Notice how some words have der (masculine), die (feminine), or das (neuter) - this is German grammar in action.
Try spotting words that look similar to English (like 'Sonne' and 'sun'). These 'friends from English' make learning easier!
Listen to this German weather report and answer the questions! You'll hear a meteorologist describing different weather around Germany. Click each answer carefully - you'll hear the audio again if needed.
Time for weather bingo! Listen to the weather words and click the matching picture on your card. Remember the free space in the middle! Work quickly to get five in a row.
Spin the wheel to see what weather you'll get! Try saying the German word before it reveals the picture. Can you describe today's weather using what lands on the wheel?
