We recommend spending 15 minutes a day to review one chapter each day, and continuing this until you’ve reviewed all chapters sufficiently. When using the flashcard program or the vocabulary handouts, try to quickly say a simple sentence with each word you are reviewing before moving on to the next one.

1b. **SUBMIT** When you’re ready, click here to download a worksheet on the Kapitel 11 – Teil 1 grammar, which you should fill out and submit!

• Suggestion: Keep the video lecture open in a separate window while you work on the worksheet, so you can refer back to it as needed!

2. Anlauftext lesen (Important preparation for the next class. Getting a feel for the many examples of Subjunctive II in this text, and for the new vocabulary it introduces, will help you a lot for this chapter!): Read the Kapitel 11 cartoon text (pp. 425-6) as follows: 

• (1) Look at the sketches of “Sehenswürdigkeiten” in Berlin on p. 423.
• (2) Look over the vocabulary and the explanations about the Subjunctive in the last two bullet points below
• (3) Read through the entire text once quickly without stopping, even if it feels like you aren’t understanding much
• (4) Finally, read the text a second time, this time more carefully, referring back to the vocabulary below as needed, and looking up any other troublesome words/phrases online.
• Vokabeln: die Verspätung = delay [Anna apologizes for arriving late]; erzähl mal von = tell me about; eine Kleinigkeit essen = to have a snack [eine Kleinigkeit: something small]; recht interessant = quite interesting; die Kuppel des Reichstags = the cupola (dome) on the Reichstag (parliament building); besichtigen = to go see a sight; sich vorher anmelden = to register in advance; kaum noch = hardly still [he’s telling Anna that the Berlin Wall has mostly been torn down, and he names the three locations where remnants of it can still be seen]; Abgemacht! = Agreed!/It’s a deal!; Pass mal auf = Listen (literally: pay attention); Klingt gut = Sounds good [VERY useful expression!]; einen Bummel machen = to go for a stroll; entlang = along [a street or river]; das neue Regierungsviertel = the new government quarter [i.e. district]; das jüdische Mahnmal = the Jewish memorial; Was willst du denn dort um diese Zeit? = But what do you want to do there at that hour [when there’s not a lot going on]?; hat von…geschwärmt = raved about; ich bin verabredet = I have a date/appointment to meet someone
• Subjunctive II: There are many examples of Subjunctive II (Konjunktiv II) in the Anlauftext. Here is some more information about them: Picture 3: The Subjunctive lets us know that Anna did not end up seeing the Reichstag, even though she wanted to: ich hätte stundenlang anstehen müssen = I would have had to stand in line for hours. (Note that with modal verbs, the past subjunctive is formed by combining hätte (always hätte, never wäre) with two infinitives; the infinitive of the modal verb comes last) Picture 4: Ich hätte dich warnen sollen = I should have warned you (Past subjunctive with a modal verb again; note the two infinitives and hätte). Das würde mich schon interessieren = That would indeed (schon) interest me (We learned about the würde + infinitive form in Kapitel 9 already) Picture 5: Ich würde gern Potsdam sehen = I would like to see Potsdam (würde + infinitive again) Picture 6: Wir sollten damit bis Samstag warten = We should wait with that (damit) until Sunday. Dann hätte ich mehr Zeit = Then I would have more time (We learned that hätte = would have in Kapitel 9 already) Picture 7: Aber was würdest du dann für morgen vorschlagen? = But then what would you suggest for tomorrow? (würde + infinitive again) Picture 8: An deiner Stelle würde ich… = If I was you, I would… Am Nachmittag könnten wir… = In the afternoon we could… Picture 9: Das wäre schön = That would be nice (We learned that wäre = would be in Kapitel 9 already). Ich würde gern sehen… = I would like to see… (würde + infinitive again). Vom Brandenburger Tor aus könnten wir das machen = We could do that by starting from the Brandenburg Gate (vom BT aus) Picture 10: ich hätte noch einen Wunsch = I have one more wish [here, hätte just makes the request more polite]; Könnten wir… = Could we… Picture 11: Am Wochenende wäre es aber lebendiger = On the weekend it would be more lively, though (wäre = would be, again) Picture 12: Das hätte ich gleich ahnen sollen = I should have suspected that right away (Past subjunctive with a modal verb again; note the two infinitives and hätte)

• First, read “Deutschland: von der Monarchie zur Demokratie I, II & II” (pp. 434, 444 & 455), and this timeline of postwar German history in English. This will help you a lot with the rest of this assignment!
• Next, do Aktivität 22 & 23. Hopefully, you will already know the answers to most of these questions, and be able to guess the rest via a process of elimination. If not, look up unknown vocabulary and unfamiliar events/people as needed!
• Now scan the text, “Die Geschichte Berlins” (V Seite 446-7) for the answers to Aktivität 25
  • Beitritt = joining
  • For “die Gründung des zweiten deutschen Reiches,” choose 1871: Vorsprung thinks of this as “das zweite deutsche Reich”.

• Next, look at Aktivität 26. Look up the words in bold print at the start of each question (i.e. “die Machtergreifung,” “stattfinden,” “besetzen” etc.), but DON’T do the activity!
• Next, read the text thoroughly in order to do Aktivität 27.
  • The answer to question 9 is UM West-Berlin (this is not clear from the text)
• Finally, do Aktivität 29 (extrapolating some info about the Passive based on the text.

  • For question 2, none of the subjects in the examples are actually people, but in general the subject of a Passive sentence will be a person or a thing.
