Being able to talk about the weather in German not only makes for an easy conversation starter, it’s also useful when you’re traveling. After this audio lesson you’ll be able to ask about the climate and current weather conditions in German. You’ll learn tons of German words - from sunshine to snow and everything in between.
Listen to the audio and follow the English translations. And here’s a tip to help you remember: every time you notice or comment on the weather conditions, say the word or phrase in German too. This way the German vocabulary will quickly become part of your daily life.
Talking about the weather in German
Is it going to rain, snow or hail? Will the sun shine all day? Will it be a great day for going to the beach or shall we go to the art gallery instead? You might like to know what the weather is doing before making any plans. You can find out about the weather by asking one of the following questions…
If you are planning to travel to Germany, Switzerland or Austria during the winter time, you’ll definitely need to know the next two sentences. Let me assure you, there will be plenty of opportunities to use them.
