Lesson 89 · German A1-2

Cinema & Cultural Events

Kino und Veranstaltungen

Booking tickets and talking about films/concerts/events is a natural extension of the hobbies vocabulary from Lesson 21 - here focused specifically on planning an outing, which reuses making-plans phrasing from Lesson 52.

Today's win: book tickets for a film or event and talk about what you want to see.

Core vocabulary

das Kino	cinema	die Karte / das Ticket	ticket
das Konzert	concert	die Veranstaltung	event
die Vorstellung	showing/screening	das Museum	museum

Booking and asking

Ich möchte zwei Karten für den Film, bitte. (reusing möchte, Lesson 11)
Um wie viel Uhr beginnt die Vorstellung? (What time does the showing start?)
Gibt es noch Karten für heute Abend? (Are there still tickets for tonight? - es gibt, Lesson 58)

Planning together

Hast du Lust auf einen Film? (Do you feel like [seeing] a film? - idiomatic "Lust haben auf")
Wollen wir ins Kino gehen? (Shall we go to the cinema? - wollen, Lesson 49/52)

Try it out loud: invite someone to a cultural event of your choice, and ask what time it starts.
