I have already started this on the Dutch blog, where it was received quite well. I hope you will like the German version as well!<\/p>\n

A Language Listening Lesson (Triple L) consists of a German text, with translation and audio file to listen to it. That is the idea – you listen to it and with only that information answer the questions. If you need help, you can consult the German text, and if that does not suffice, you can also check on the English translation. The answers come\u00a0after the English translation.<\/p>\n

As the Soccer World Cup started, and Germany has been doing well until now, with a great first game (4-0 against Portugal), this Triple L\u00a0will be about the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Recording – LISTEN THIS FIRST!<\/strong><\/p>\n

German Text<\/strong><\/p>\n

Es ist Montagabend. Heute spielt die Deutsche Nationalelf gegen Portugal! Jonas ist schon ganz aufgeregt. Seit Joachim L\u00f6w Trainer ist, geht es nur noch bergauf. Sein Lieblingsspieler ist Thomas M\u00fcller. M\u00fcller ist der St\u00fcrmer des deutschen Teams. Wird er ein starkes Spiel machen? Oder sind Christiano Ronaldo und Co. doch besser? Ronaldo ist ein sehr guter Spieler… Jonas will Portugal nicht untersch\u00e4tzen, aber er ist sich sicher, Deutschland packt das schon!<\/i><\/p>\n

Es f\u00e4ngt gleich an! Jonas zieht noch schnell sein Deutschlandtrikot an, h\u00e4ngt die Deutschlandfahne auf, macht sich ein Bier auf, und macht den Fernseher an. Los geht’s!<\/em><\/p>\n

Und da fielen die Tore. Und wie! Tor nach Tor nach Tor… M\u00fcller hat sogar drei Tore gemacht! Super! Jonas ist ganz aus dem H\u00e4uschen!<\/i><\/p>\n

English Translation<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s Monday evening. Today the German national soccer team plays against Portugal! Jonas is already very excited. Since Joachim L\u00f6w has been the coach, it only got better. His favorite player is Thomas M\u00fcller. M\u00fcller is the striker (or forward) of the German team. Will he make a good game? Or are Christiano Ronaldo and his companions better? Ronaldo is a very good player… Jonas does not want to underestimate Portugal, but he is sure that Germany will make it!<\/p>\n

It begins in a bit! Jonas just quickly dons his Germany Soccer\u00a0Shirt, hangs up the German flag, opens his beer, and turns on the TV. Here we go!<\/p>\n

And there the goals came. And how! Goal after goal after goal… M\u00fcller even made three goals! Great! Jonas is thrilled to bits!<\/p>\n
