Hi !

Today we met us again for 90 minutes and talked about the german table manners.
And there were so many things !
So we made a big Mind Map on the blackboard and our homework is to order it in four groups:

Myself :

- Sit ca. 10 cm in front of the table , straight
- Don´t lay your ellbows on the table, just your hands
- Just begin to eat when everyone have got food on his table too
- Always give up the guest first
- When you click your glasses , you have to lock in the eys to your opposite person
- Eat with a close mouth
- Don´t use your Handy while you eat
- Don´t say negative comments like "That´s a horrible meal !"

How to use the utensiles :

- You have to hold your knife in the right hand and your spoon in the left hand
- The fork or the spoon have to move to your mouth and not the other way around
- the meal was delishes : lay the knife and the fork at 3 o´clock on your plate
the meal wasn´t delishes : lay the knife and the fork at 9 o´clock on your plate
- you are still hungry : cross the knife and the fork on your plate

Associate with the food :

- Don´t slup
- Don´t blow on the soupe or hot drinks
- Don´t take to much food on your plate, you could take more, if you was still hungry
- Don´t play with your food
- Don´t leave little, unpretty rests on your table

How to lay the table :

- The fork has to lay right of the plate, the knife next to the fork
- The glass or the cup have to be over them
- The napkin lays on the plate or under the knife and the fork

of course, it is difficult for every family.
For example, I am allowed to blow on the soup , when It is to hot.
And I also can lay my ellbows on the table or hold the knife in the left hand ;-)

After that we built four groups .
I am in a group with Mara, Maibrit, Anne-Merle, Lisa and Lea.
We are all going to fly to Danzig this march and prepared a rollplay with the theme:
german table manners.
We hope it will be funny !
Also we talked about Phase 6 , an app to learn the food-vocabulary.

Bye, Lisann
