1 - Welcome to Pet Talk
Do you have a pet at home? Today we're learning how to talk about pets in German - the most popular pets that German children love too!
Germany has lots of pet-loving families just like in Ireland. Knowing these pet words helps you chat with German friends about your favourite animals.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name 8 popular pets in German
- Sort pets by masculine (der) and feminine (die) words
- Describe your pet to a German-speaking friend
2 - Meet the Pets
Here are the German names for 8 popular pets. Click each word to hear the pronunciation, then say it yourself!
Notice most pets use der (masculine), but some use die (feminine). Which ones do you think they are?
3 - Flashcard Challenge
See the English pet name and try saying the German before flipping! Great practice for remembering all 8 pets.
4 - Sort by Gender
Drag each pet into the correct column: der (masculine) or die (feminine). Can you spot the pattern?
