Weather is the twelfth skill in the language tree for the German course. It has five lessons and teaches some weather-related vocabulary and expressions.

Grammar Notes[]

Wie bitte?[]

In many cases where in English we use "what", German tends to use wie instead of was.

  • Wie heißen Sie? = What is your name?
  • Wie ist das Wetter? = What's the weather?

Word Order[]

In an earlier skill, we saw that word order in German is a little more fluid than in English. As long as the verb is in the second position, everything else can move around somewhat freely:

  • Heute ist es neblig. = Es ist heute neblig. = Es ist neblig heute. = It's foggy today.
