Leisure and Travel: Exploring the World and Ourselves

Freizeit und Reisen (Leisure and Travel) are more than just hobbies or vacations.
These activities help us build our Identität (identity) and expand our Verständnis (understanding) of the world.
In German ab initio, we look at how travel choices reflect our Werte (values) and cultural habits.
We also explore how travel can show Ungleichheiten (inequalities) and global trends.

Definition

die Freizeit

time spent away from work or school (leisure time)

Definition

die Reise

the journey or trip from one place to another

Definition

der Urlaub

vacation or holiday time

How Leisure Shapes Perspective

Spending time on a Hobby (hobby) or visiting a new Land (country) changes how we see daily life.
Kulturelle Gewohnheiten (cultural habits) become visible when we compare our home to a new place.
For example, how people eat or how students talk to teachers can be very different in Deutschland (Germany) compared to other countries.

Note

In German culture, Freizeit is highly valued.
People often separate their Arbeit (work) strictly from their private life.
This is sometimes called Feierabend (the evening time after work is finished).

Paper 1: Writing about Experiences

In Paper 1, you might be asked to write a Brief (letter), an E-Mail, or a Rezension (review).
You should describe what you did and reflect on what you learned.
Focus on Einzelpersonen (individuals) and Gemeinschaften (communities).

Example

Ich bin nach Spanien gereist (I traveled to Spain).
Das Essen war sehr lecker (The food was very delicious).
Die Menschen waren sehr geduldig (The people were very patient).
Ich habe viel über die Kultur gelernt (I learned a lot about the culture).

Lessons from a School Exchange

Social Habits
1. In many cultures, Mahlzeiten (meals) are a time for family and connection.
2. Wir essen zusammen und sprechen viel (We eat together and talk a lot).
3. This contrasts with eating quickly or alone.
School Atmosphere
1. Some schools are very formal, while others are more relaxed.
2. Die Schüler fragen die Lehrer direkt (The students ask the teachers directly).
