Klaustrophobic German-Neu-Episode Two

Hallo, und willkommen auf Klaustrophobic German.

Hello and welcome to Klaustrophobic German.
Last time, we learned 39 perfect cognates, and a very important rule in German grammar.

Today were going to learn a series of near-cognates. These are words that sound similar to words in English, and mean the same thing.
As always, I encourage you to repeat the words to get a feel for speaking German.
Lets start with the nouns:

We have:

die Adresse
der Aspekt
die Bluse
die Demokratie
der Doktor
das Glas
der Kaffee
die Komödie
die Kondition
das Konzert
die Kultur
die Machine
die Maus
die Methode
die Musik
die Nationalität
die Natur
der Ozean
das Papier
das Programm
das Salz
der Scheck
der Supermarkt
das Telephon
die Theorie
die Tragödie
and lastly, die Walnuss

Once again, its best to memorize a noun with its indefinite article.
Now lets move on to the adjectives. Youre doing great.

We have:

blond
direkt
exzellent
fantastisch
lang
and lastly, perfeckt

Thats all for today. I received a few emails last week. Kasia from Chigago said she enjoyed it, and found out about Klaustrophobic German on MySpace. Robert from Eugene also said he liked it.
Thanks for listening, and if you want to send me emails, send it to takemetotokio@rocketmail.com, and dont forget your name and where you live. Tschüs!
