Скачать или смотреть German House Vocabulary: Floors, Rooms, and Cultural Differences

German Basics: Eating, Home, and Negation.
This video offers a virtual tour of Das Haus (the house) to teach essential German vocabulary related to home structure and, critically, clarifies the difference in how floor levels are counted in Germany versus English-speaking countries.

The Ground Level: The tour starts with Das Erdgeschoss (The Ground Floor), which is the floor you enter from the street.

The Main Confusion Point (Floors): The most important takeaway is the difference in floor counting. In Germany, the floor above Das Erdgeschoss is Der Erste Stock (The First Floor), which corresponds to what is commonly called the "second floor" in the US. The term Der Stock is the general word for any floor or level.

Other Key Areas: Vocabulary covered includes:

Der Keller (The Basement).

Die Treppe (The Stairs).

Der Dachboden (The Attic) (literally 'roof floor,' from Dach meaning roof).

Outside Areas: The video also includes words for areas attached to the house: Der Balkon (The Balcony), Der Garten (The Garden/Yard), and Die Garage (The Garage).
