sheet, where Holger und Ahmet discuss the ages of their classmates. Be ready to understand
numbers 0-20 and identify the phrases “Er/sie heißt…” and “Er/sie ist ___ Jahre alt.”
Part B: The second listening activity will feature students that introduce themselves, including
what city they are from. You will look at a map and match each student to the city that they live in.
Be ready to understand the phrases “Er/sie kommt aus…” and “Er/sie wohnt in…” We will practice
this listening activity in class the day we go over this study guide. For now, please skip this section.
