For those of you who are shy about speaking German in public, you can still practice conversing in German using this simple task. Take a family photo album and point to the various people in the photo. Then ask yourself, “Wer ist das?” (Who is that?) Then answer the question. I’ll give you the vocabulary to answer this question. Obviously the best way to practice is to speak with another person, but if for some reason this is impossible, it’s better than no practice at all. For every answer, you’ll need to respond by saying, “Das ist..”
Das ist die Mutter (That is the mother)
der Vater (father)
der Bruder (brother)
die Schwester (sister)
der Großvater (grandfather)
die Großmutter (grandmother)
der Sohn (son)
die Tochter (daughter)
der Onkel (uncle)
die Tante (aunt)
der Kusine (female cousin)
der Kusin (male cousin)
der Mann (husband/man)
die Frau (wife/woman)

“der Kusine” (female cousin) ist falsch, sollte es nicht - die Kusine sein?
I think “der Kusine” is wrong - it should be “die Kusine”.
