In Episode 47 of the Better German Podcast, Susi keeps the momentum going with more practice on German adjectives — building directly on Episode 44’s vocabulary list. This episode turns theory into action: you’ll create real sentences, understand how adjectives behave in context, and pick up special German expressions such as Mir ist kalt and Ist dir kalt? Along the way, Susi shares how practice bridges the gap between knowing words and actually using them.

Introduction

She invites you to continue your journey with adjectives, especially if you’ve listened to Episode 44, and reminds you that real progress comes from active use, not just memorization. And when you are ready, you can join the free Better German community, a supportive space where learners connect, ask questions, and keep making progress together.

🔎 Key Topics: Practicing German Adjectives

How “Mach noch einen Satz!” (“Make another sentence!”) becomes your best learning tool
Common adjectives covered in this episode, including:
▫️ groß (big/tall)
▫️ klein (small)
▫️ alt (old)
▫️ jung (young)
▫️ kalt (cold)
Examples using everyday nouns like Tisch, Ball, Mantel, etc
Special German sentence structures explained:

Understanding why Ich bin kalt and Mir ist kalt mean different things.
