Lesson 1

We started our first German class with this song. You can find a video just below the lyrics.

Welcome song:

Hallo

Wir woll'n uns begrüßen und machen das so:
Hallo! Hallo!
Schön das ihr heut' da seid und nicht anderswo!
Hallo! Hallo!
Hallo-hallo-hallo,
hallo-hallo-hallo!

Hello

We would like to great each other and do it like this:
Hello! Hello!
Nice you’re here today and not somewhere else!
Hello! Hello!
Hello-hello-hello,
Hello-hello-hello!

This good bye song is one of my favorite songs from preschool. I'm pretty sure it's a favorite among German kids.

Good bye song:

Alle Leut' geh'n jetzt nach Haus' Alle Leut', alle Leut' geh'n jetzt nach Haus' Alle Leut', alle Leut' geh'n jetzt nach Haus' Grosse Leut', kleine Leut', Dicke Leut', dünne Leut' Laute Leut', leise Leut' Alle Leut', alle Leut' geh'n jetzt nach Haus' Alle Leut', alle Leut' winken sich zu, Sagen auf wiedersehen, Das war heut' wieder schön. Alle Leut', alle Leut' winken sich zu.

Everyone, Everyone Is Going Home Everyone, everyone is going home. Everyone, everyone is going home. Big people, little people, Fat people, thin people, Loud people, quiet people, Everyone, everyone is going home. Everyone, everyone is waving goodbye. Say goodbye, That was fun again today! Everyone, everyone is waving goodbye.
