Lesson 63 · German A1-2

Adjectives of Opinion & Feeling

Gefühle und Meinungen beschreiben

Lesson 48 gave you sentence openers for opinions (ich finde, ich glaube). Today fills in the adjectives that go at the end of those sentences - how you actually feel, and what you think of something, in words rather than just "gut" or "schön."

Today's win: describe your mood and reactions with a wider range of adjectives than "gut" and "schlecht."

Feelings (with sein)

glücklich	happy	müde	tired
traurig	sad	nervös	nervous
aufgeregt	excited	gestresst	stressed

Ich bin heute sehr müde. (predicate adjective, no ending - Lesson 22)

Opinions about things

interessant	interesting	langweilig	boring
schwierig	difficult	einfach	easy
praktisch	practical	anstrengend	exhausting

Ich finde Deutsch schwierig, aber interessant. (reusing ich finde + aber, Lessons 48 & 26)

Intensifiers: making an adjective stronger or weaker

sehr	very
ziemlich	quite/fairly
ein bisschen	a little

Ich bin ein bisschen nervös. (I'm a little nervous.)

Try it out loud: say how you feel right now using an intensifier + feeling adjective, then give an honest opinion of learning German using ich finde + two adjectives joined with aber.
