Tage in Tirol mit Tah

This week is about prepositions with verbs, specifically with Akkusativ! Prepositions are words like: on, for, about, in. You use them before a noun to add more details. For example: I was born in New York. / Ich bin in New York geboren. She talks about birds. / Sie spricht über Vögel. This present is for you. / Dieses Geschenk ist für dich. So in German, with some verbs, you need to use specific prepositions. For the noun following the preposition, can be different German cases, but today I will be only using the Akkusativ case. Here's an example: This is the sentence I want to say in German. I think about the ball. Because I will be using denken (think), I know I need to use the preposition an ('about' in this example). Ich denke an the ball. Now, what German case does 'the ball' need? With denken, the noun the preposition comes after is Akkusativ. Ball is masculine, so 'the ball' is 'den Ball'.

The first choice will say next to it "Translate this page". Done! You will get the site in the

Hello, I'm back again after a very long pause. I took time off, for one very special reason... a baby girl! I had her in January and now that she is almost three months old. I thought it would be good to get back into this blog. So let's talk about giving birth in Austria! Some things that I've learned about what it's like here. Please keep in mind, this is information from 2020-2021. You have free visits to the OB-GYN ( obstetrician-gynecologist ) that include ultrasounds. You get a few free ultrasounds over the pregnancy and also regular check ups. If you want an ultrasound every time, you would need to pay more. If you don't pay for a private OB-GYN, you might have a quick visit, so it's good to write down your questions in advance. You get a Mutter Kind Pass (Mother Child Passport) that helps you keep track of your baby's health over the early years. The book is given to you by the OB-GYN and it starts getting filled out during the pregnancy. This book
