In der Lektion von Heute (in today's lesson-remembering that the 'v' is usually pronounced as though it were an 'f', and -tion, like -tsy-ohn), we're going to learn about how to say what we work as and how to ask it. That way you can build up your own dialogues :)
***************************************************************
What do you work as?
Was sind Sie von Beruf? (be-ROOF)
(the) Work-die Arbeit (f.)
I'm a...
Ich bin... without the article a/an.
I'm a student-Ich bin Student. (shdoo-DENT)
However, just like most European languages, there usually exists a feminine form to each noun.
Student (shdoo-DENT) becomes Studentin (shdoo-DEN-tin). Just add -in to most feminine forms of each noun!
Ich bin Handelsvertreter-I'm a sales representative.
Ich bin HandelsverTREterin-" "
**********************************
Other types of jobs:
Architekt/in-architect
Bäcker/in-baker
Busfahrer-bus driver
Lehrer/Lehrerin (leh-rur-REEN)-teacher
Of course there are many more, but look online or in a dictionary to find them out :)
