dein Name? Mein Name ist wie ist dein Name? Mein Name ist wie ist dein Name? Mein Name
ist wie ist dein Name? Mein Name ist ] little louder, everybody ok. One brief instruction,
when you are learning a foreign language, when you are learning a foreign language you
are also speaking in a particular language, your jaws, your tongue, your mouth, your teeth,
the entire speech apparatus that you have, your vocal chords. They are used to a particular
sound, they are used to particular movements, you understand? When you start learning another language,
then those things also have to get used to another scenario, for want of a better word
I m saying that. But you understand what I mean, when I speak English, when we speak
English or when I speak Marathi or Hindi, there s a certain way the mouth has to move. The jaw bones, the tongue etc. so when you
re learning a new language, your anatomy also has to learn the new language. So that is
why it is important, if you notice when I speak right now, I m actually speaking in
an exaggeratedly clear manner. Trying to speak Mein. Name. Ist. and so on and so on. I m
trying to exaggerate the movements of my mouth, etc. so that you also can see it. That s why
I m saying, when you speak, don't try to speak quickly, don t try to swallow words, I would
like to hear every word as clearly as possible ok. So speak slowly, speak loudly, try and
follow the pronunciation as much as you can. So once again, wie ist dein Name? [ mein Name ist wie ist dein Name? Mein Name
ist wie ist dein Name? Mein Name ist wie ist dein Name?
Mein Name ist wie ist dein Name? Mein Name ist
wie ist dein Name?] (x11) mein Name ist Milind. Danke (thank you), yeah
so, guten Tag, guten Morgen, mein Name ist Milind, wie ist dein Name? Ich komme aus Pune. Ich komme aus Pune. Woher
kommst du? Ich komme aus Pune, woher kommst du? woher kommst du? Ich komme aus Pune [yells
at class for taking notes] Guten Tag, mein Name ist Milind, ich komme
aus Pune. Ich komme aus Pune, woher kommst du? [ ich komme aus
woher kommst du?] (x 23) ich komme aus Pune, woher kommst du? [ich
komme aus Pune.] ich komme auch (also) aus Pune. Auch aus Pune. [ich komme auch aus Pune] [all repeating auch ] so, woher kommst du? [ich komme aus Pune]
ah, ich komme auch aus Pune. Woher kommst du? [ich komme aus Pune] ich
komme auch aus Pune. [student s name] woher kommst du? [ ich komme aus Chennai. Ich komme auch aus
Chennai] while learning German everyone will become
native of Pune, I think. By the way, that is where the study of German language in India
began. Pune is the home of German studies in India. And it was more than 100 years ago
that the Pune University actually began offering courses in German. I think the German Language
and Literature BA and MA programmes in Pune are among the oldest or the oldest in India.
And it has been a major centre of German learning always for, as I said more than a 100 years. I think 2013 or 2014 was when we celebrated
the centenary of German language teaching in Pune, or in India as such. I also went to a school where German has been
taught since, I don t know, 1886 or something like that ok. Anyway so there s always been
tradition in Pune. So it s not that much of a problem if everybody starts saying ich komme
auch aus Pune while learning German, that s fine. So basically, if you want to use the word
oh, also , I also come from Pune, ich komme auch aus Pune ok. Guten Tag! mein Name ist Milind.
Wie ist dein Name? Ich komme aus Pune.
Woher kommst du? Woher kommst du? Ich wohne in Chennai.
Wo wohnst du? Wo wohnst du? Ich wohne in Chennai, wo wohnst du?
Wo wohnst du [TA s name] [ich wohne auch in Chennai] ich wohne auch in Chennai. Wo wohnst du? [ ich wohne auch in Chennai, wo wohnst du?]
(x 2) yeah, that s okay, we will come to that later.
Wo wohnst du? Ich wohne in Chennai. Wo studierst du? Wo studierst du? Ich studiere
in Chennai. Wo wohnst du? Wo studierst du? Studierst , studieren
(to study), wo studierst du? Wo arbeitest du? Arbeitest , arbeiten (to work). Ok. Studieren ist klar, studieren ? Wo studierst
du? Ich studiere in Chennai, ich studiere in Chennai. Ich studiere am IIT. Ich wohne in Chennai, ich studiere in Chennai,
ich arbeite in Chennai. Arbeiten ? Wohnen what do you think wohnen is? To live,
to stay, to live. Studieren ? To study. Arbeiten ? To work, arbeiten. So, ich wohne in Chennai, ich studiere in
Chennai, ich arbeite in Chennai. wo wohnst du? Wo studierst du? Wo arbeitest
du? (x2) Make note of it and after that we re going
to go through the entire dialogue ok. That is the basic introduction of oneself. What is your name? My name is so and so, what
is your name. I come from so and so, where do you come from?
And I stay, I live, I study, I work in this place, where do you study or work? Ok. That
s the basic introduction. So for studieren you could say I study in
Chennai or I study at IIT Madras So depending on that, ich studiere in Chennai
or ich studiere am IIT Madras Similarly for arbeiten, which is to work , ich
arbeite in Chennai or ich arbeite am IIT Madras . Ich arbeite am IIT Madras. Du studierst am
IIT Madras. Is it clear? So we can have the reply at IIT Madras or
we can have in Chennai , depending on that you can
use whichever phrase. [introductions and playing out of dialogues
with in the class] When you say guten Tag of course you can also
have hi , hello etc. all these greetings are possible, and guten Tag you can also wait
for the other person to say guten Tag . [introductions and playing out of dialogues
with in the class] One small point to note is du studierst , ich
studiere . Please note the differences in ending ok. Ich komme , du kommst , ich wohne , du wohnst
, ich studiere , du studierst , ich komme , du kommst , ich wohne , du wohnst . Ok. note the difference that s all. Let me
finish this, I ve heard your question, we ll come back to that. Introduction: so can anybody tell me what
is happening here? I pointed out that when we re using ich the
verb is ending with an e , when we re using du the verb is ending with and st . What is
happening here? [ e in komme is first person, kommst is second
person] Introduction: yeah, yeah, so what is kommen
, what kind of a word is kommen ? To come , to work , to live , [verbs] verbs, ok. So what we re doing is, see verbs get conjugated.
Verbs get conjugated, when verbs are used for different persons, verbs can have different
forms. Ok, so, typically in English verbs have only two forms. There is one form for
first and second person, and one form for third person. If I say I live in Chennai and you live in
Chennai , my friend lives in Chennai . That s the only one that strays from, to live , lives
, third person becomes lives . But German verbs have more forms, quite like
several Indian languages. I mean, for example, the same thing Everybody follows basic Hindi? Basic Hindi
is ok? So, main Chennai mein reheta hun , tum rehete
ho , mera dost reheta hai , hum rehete hain with an anuswar on hain , hum rehete hain
, Aap rehete ho , mere saare dost rehete hain . So you see for each person rehena is being
conjugated differently. This is something similar that happens in German and we have
to There are very basic patterns of conjugation
which we have to learn. And I m just pointing it out here because you can make a note of
it, that when we use verbs, verbs have to be conjugated and one of the first topics
in grammar that we will do is also verb conjugation because we need to know how to use a verb.
Because a verb is the heart of the sentence, I mean, the verb describes what is happening.
Ok, without the verb you can have, but rarely have a full sentence. So ich komme , but du kommst . Yeah, your question? [ why do you use woher for kommst and wo for
studierst ?] so what are we asking in the two questions?
Wo wohnst du? or wo studierst du? And woher kommst du? , what is the question that we
are asking? [ woher is from where and wo is where ] that s exactly it. So, when I ask you the
question where do you come from? actually I m asking where from are you . I need the
from to ask that question. Where are you and where are you from , there
s a difference no? Ok, so that is the difference between wo and woher . Wo is simply where
and, I mean you can combine where from in German into woher . Ok, understood that? So, but I m trying to say that basically you
go to the meaning of the question. Wo what is it asking for? It s asking for a particular
location and position. And woher is asking for a particular direction from which you
re coming or a particular side from which you re coming. Ok, so there is a sense of movement involved
in woher , whereas there is no sense of movement involved in wo , it is a stationary position. Ok so, any other doubts you have about what
we have done till now? Can we have one more dialogue between people from this end and
people from that end? [ how do you say where are you ?] no, we haven t yet done the word for are so
I m just holding back, ok. But the word for where is wo . Wo is the word for where . Yeah can we have one more? [ guten Tag. Guten Tag. Mein Name ist wie
ist dein Name? Mein Name ist .. Ich komme aus woher kommst du? Ich komme aus ich studiere
in Chennai, wo studierst du? Ich studiere auch in Chennai.] yeah, ich studiere auch in Chennai. Little
bit we ll do the dialogue again, guten Tag. Mein Name ist Milind, wie ist dein Name? [Mein
Name ist ] that eh has to come at the end. so for example if you notice, guten Tag , mein
, guten , Tag , mein , here, all these three words the last sound is not being extended.
It is cut. Guten , n ; Tag , g ; mein , n . Name , but Name , the me is being extended
into muh . Mein Name. That is the function of the e at the end. And it s very important
to pronounce that e at the end. Ok, so guten Tag. you can see guten Tag. both
the words are cut short, guten Tag , mein again cut short, mein Name but Name is little
prolonged. Mein Name ist . So can we do it once again? Guten Tag.
[guten Tag.] Mein Name ist Milind.
[mein Name ist ] Ich komme, again komme that s with an e at
the end, so the m sound has to extended into an uh sound. Ich komme aus Pune. Woher kommst
du? [ich komme aus ich studiere in Chennai, wo
wohnst du?] Ich wohne in Chennai und ich arbeite in Chennai. Ok so, I notice that there is a tendency to
not pronounce the e at the end, it s a very important marker in German, that e at the
end and the sound needs to be prolonged a little. It also sometimes tells you the difference
between different forms, singular, plural all these things. So it is important, that
e at the end is very important, ok. So yesterday we had a very brief discussion
on, generally where, what are the, what is the location of Germany, what are the neighbouring
countries, and how many people speak German and where is German spoken. So I think [TA s name] has found out that
German is the official language in 6 countries. Can you just give that information? [TA: German is the official language in 6
countries, and around 9 to 12 million people in the world speak German, and as he said
yesterday, in three countries, that is Germany, Switzerland and Austria it s like mother tongue
for most of the people. And 1/10th of the books published in the entire
world are published in the German language, and as some of the students said yesterday,
research work, research books, and literature and also philosophy, philosophical books are
published mostly in German. That is, 1/10th is a big number in the entire world, so that
is one of the reasons why people learn and value German language. And also, many of the
multinational companies have their origins in Germany. As we discussed yesterday, cars
and pharmaceuticals and electronics. So that is the reason why professionals prefer
to learn this language. And the world famous research institutes like Max-Planck and Fraunhofer
which have invented many modern gadgets are in Germany. So many people interested in research
are also learning German because of that reason. So globalization of course and increased business
ties between India and Germany, and now Germany is inviting more students from India for higher
studies. Germany has some of the oldest universities,
and very well equipped universities in Europe and also in the world. There are 500 year
old and 400 year old universities which are functioning fully with lots of study opportunities,
so there are many students who are moving to Germany for higher studies. Before it was only America, but now in the
last 10 years the trend has changed.] you know one of the most important aspects
also is higher education in Germany is free of cost. If you get admission to a German
university to a German university programme, you do not have to pay fees. No tuition fees.
There are some exceptions now, there are certain programmes which have been basically designed
to attract foreign students. You know they re offered in English or something
like that, special programmes, those do charge tuition fee, it is nowhere compared to what
you pay in the UK and the US, it is still very much less. But as a principle, higher education at the
public universities in Germany, public universities meaning something like IIT Madras or something
like our universities which are basically government institutions. at any public university in principle, you
do not pay tuition fee, ok. So none of the Germans themselves pay tuition fees ever when
they study. So, all you have to pay is, of course you
have to take care of your hostel, you have to take care of other expenses like your food
and all that -- your mess bills, those you pay. But you do not pay tuition fees. Tuition
is entirely taken care of by the state. Ok, and yes I hope one day we wake up to that. Yeah, so, of course we have the map of Europe
here. There is a small text alongside the map, I m going to read that text aloud and
you can listen and make a note of it and then we finish. Was ist
das? Was ist das? Das ist eine Karte. Das ist eine Karte. Das ist eine Karte. Das ist
eine Landkarte von Europa. Das ist eine Landkarte von Europa. Was ist das? Das ist eine Karte. Das ist eine
Landkarte von Europa. Hier, hier liegt Deutschland, hier liegt Deutschland, hier liegt Deutschland,
und dort liegt Frankreich. Und dort liegt Frankreich. Hier liegt Deutschland, und dort
liegt Frankreich. Hier ist Berlin, hier ist Berlin, und dort
ist Paris, und dort ist Paris. Deutschland liegt nicht in S deuropa. Deutschland
liegt in Mitteleuropa. Deutschland liegt in Mitteleuropa. Wo liegt Indien? Indien liegt in Suedasia,
Indien liegt in Suedasia. Europa, Asien, Amerika, Australien, Afrika
und Antarktis. Berlin ist die Hauptstadt von Deutschland.
Berlin ist die Hauptstadt von Deutschland. Was ist die Hauptstadt von Indien? Neu Delhi
ist die Hauptstadt von Indien. We will come back to this tomorrow and continue
with this. But you can understand what I m trying to say here, in general? Meaning of Karte ? [map] actually Karte is
the same as chart or card . Card , chart , Karte , these are all etymologically connected words,
so their roots are similar or same. And Karte is a chart and Landkarte is a chart which
charts the land , which is a map. So it s a map of Europe. So Karte is a chart or a
card and when you say Landkarte it becomes a map.
