In this lesson, we’re continuing with a topic which had been avoided up until Season 3 of Coffee Break German - the genitive! While it is possible to avoid using the genitive, when used correctly, it makes you sound like a true native speaker. Join hosts Mark and Andrea as they explore some prepositions with the genitive: wegen, infolge, gemäß, dank, außerhalb/innerhalb, and anstelle. Listen out for some interesting vocabulary along the way as well as a special news broadcast where we hear more genitive prepositions in context.
