Media today 26

Roald Dahl, Sophiechen und der Riese, 2:34-2:42

There were a lot of the giant's funny solecisms in this section. 

durcheinanderlich < durcheinander
keine Wange < keine Bange
Donnerschmetterling < Donnerwetter

Throughout this Hörbuch I've been drawing attention to these by saying things like "Did you notice how the BFG says __________ instead of _________? Ha ha!" and "Ha ha ha! The BFG should have said ____________ but instead he said ______________." 

In addition to increasing general language awareness in a very fun way, this affords a lot of good practice with instead-constructions (statt, anstatt, stattdessen) and the past subjunctive (hätte sagen sollen / müssen / wollen).
