German Language Tour

Tag Neun (Day Nine) by Elsa Wilkinson

Willkommen zu Tag neun!

We started the day off this morning with another breakfast of (can you guess) salami, cheese, bread, fruit, muesli and orange juice Then we navigated our way from our hostel to the Sprachschule The train journey takes around 30 minutes switching between trains and walking to and from stations It’s a great way to see the city! Today's temperature was much cooler than it has been. So it made travelling around the city much easier.

Today at school we practised the perfect tense We worked on using ‘Weil’ in a sentence when asking and answering questions and learnt some general vocabulary and phrases that we can continue to use on our travels. It’s safe to say we are all brain-dead!

After school, we travelled to the ‘Futurium’ While waiting outside the station Frau Synnot relived her past with a safe landing demonstration coupled with a demonstration of the physics of gravity. The Futurium was an interactive museum that showed us the threats and reality of our future. We got to participate in many interactive activities and read about both predictions and realities of our current society and way of life It made us question if a robotic future is a threat or a friend After spending an hour or so in the museum and even more time in the shop… we went back to the Bundestag to take some photos that we couldn’t take yesterday due to the weather

We then made our way back to the hostel, (we have the train routes down pat) and spent some downtime eating snacks and taking some well-deserved naps. After everyone was rested up we took a small lesson with Frau Beck before tucking into dinner Another successful day in Berlin!
