How do you say things like “the house is big” or “the weather is
nice” in German?

For that, you need a special group of words that describe things.
In this episode, you’ll learn 16 very common
ones that you can use all the time when talking about
people, places, objects, or everyday situations.

These words are sometimes called adjectives.
That simply means words that describe something.
In German, you may also hear the word
Eigenschaftswort, which literally means
“quality word.” A word that tells you what
something is like.

In this episode, you’ll hear a first group of these useful words,
repeat them, and practice them in simple example sentences.

And at one point we also make a little detour into pronunciation,
because many learners worry about the German
Rsound. The good news: in many everyday words,
it’s actually much easier than people think.

Download the Free Guide that goes with this episode, it will list
all the adjectives and example sentences and give you information
how to practice them!
