• 82: Das große Wiedersehen - Teil 2 | The big reunion - part 2

  Get upset about someone, blow off steam, make excuses & order of dative and accusative in a sentence when both objects are personal pronouns. Paul confronts Fritz, who does not apologize, but justifies his behavior instead: His new girl is Paul’s ex girlfriend, and he thought Paul would mind. So he didn't tell him. He blocked his facebook posts for all of his friends because it was supposed to be a surprise that he caught the Großkauf thieves, got the promotion, the vacation, and the holiday home. But he forgot that Meili is also on facebook and can see his posts. Since he was late for Paul’s party, he didn’t hear him say the book is valuable. And he just „borrowed“ it for his new girl. Later he wanted to give it back. But then Paul made a big deal about it and upset everybody. So he wanted to have another party to get a chance to secretly put it back. But there were no more parties, soe he tried to visit Paul to put it back. But he came and stood in front of closed doors. Fritz says both his phone and SIM card are broken because they got wet in a rain. He couldn't get in touch and didn’t mean to ignore him. He has no phone numbers, no logins for social media and messengers, and no access to e-mail. Paul wants to know where his book is. Fritz is shocked to hear that he doesn't already have it. Why is Fritz so shocked and thinks Paul already has the book? If he thinks Paul already has the book, why wasn’t he surprised that he is still mad at him?

Our idea was to spoon-feed you German in very small bits. And to tell you parts of one big story at the same time. An awesome, full-blown story with different storylines that continues throughout all lessons. We wanted to keep you motivated and say "I can't wait to find out what happens next episode!"

• 81: Das große Wiedersehen - Teil 1 | The big reunion - part 1

  Travel vocabuary, neighborhood rules & order of dative and accusative in a sentence when one object is a personal pronoun. Paul thinks about his situation: he doesn't get any unemployment benefits anymore because he’s now able to make a living as a freelancer. Fortunately, his laptop and cell phone survived yesterday's rain thanks to a plastic bag. He has already checked out of the hotel room. And he has been looking for Fritz for five hours today - with no success. He realizes that he has to give up the search. Unfortunately he will have to disappoint Grandpa. Maybe he'll never talk to Paul again. Laura writes: She has read the entire story in the blog now, and is no longer angry. Actually, she can understand Paul. She, too, was unfair to him in the beginning when she ghosted him. At this moment, he overhears a man’s voice in the distance. Loud complains about mowing the lawn on a Sunday. He notices that there is also a red BMW with Munich license plates in front of a garage nearby. He sees the man's neighbor who has an eye-catching tattoo. And then he notices that the man is Fritz! It's his car that is parked in front of the garage - apparently he doesn't have a second garage door opener. What will happen when Paul confronts Fritz? Transcript, lesson and extras: german-stories.com/81-das-grose-wiedersehen-teil-1-order-of-dative-accusative-in-sentences Learning German with training wheels The characters in our story DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves. Why? They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls do. If you want know why we spent over 1 1/2 years of work before we even published our first lesson, go to german-stories.com/the-best-way-to-learn-german

  Hotel room amenities and their convenience & order of dative and accusative in a sentence when both objects are nouns. It's getting late and bad weather is coming. Paul's rain jacket was in the backpack which he lost. He sees a clothes shop, but it closed 5 minutes ago. He has been looking for Fritz for two hours today. Now the e-scooter battery is almost empty. Paul sees another red BMW, but is disappointed again - it's not Fritz's car. He's hungry and still doesn't have a hotel room. He gets a message from Laura: She wanted to call him, but that didn't work. Is he ignoring her? Paul had told her to read his blog to soften the unpleasant news for her. Unfortunately for Paul, it seems like she only read the beginning where he was just dating her because he needed information. She's very angry! It starts to rain and Paul accelerates, because he wants to find a hotel fast. That's when the e-scooter battery dies. He gets soaked. Hopefully his cell phone and laptop won't get wet, otherwise his online work will be over. He wants to give up the search and write about it in the blog. Will Laura read the rest of the blog and see Paul's good side?

• 79: Mein Rucksack ist weg! | My backpack is gone!

  Baggage and paperwork vocabulary & dative reflexive verbs and sentence structure: mir etwas anziehen, mir etwas kaufen, mir etwas leihen. Paul arrives at the train station in Westerland on the island of Sylt. He loses his backpack and unsuccessfully tries to get help in the lost-and-found office. He is desperate because the garage opener is in it, and he needs it to find Fritz's garage. He wants to give up, but then it occurs to him: Without his garage opener, Fritz has to park outside. In that case, Paul would be able to see his red BMW parked outside. Paul's mother calls, but the cell phone reception is poor on the island. She already tried to call him three times today. He tells her that he is looking for Fritz and the book on Sylt. She says she just wanted to tell him that she is proud of him for telling Grandpa the truth. Then the call is dropped due to bad reception. Paul sees a red BMW, but it's not Fritz’s car. He borrows an e-scooter to look for him. Will Paul be able to find Fritz without the garage opener by looking for his red BMW parked outside? Or has Fritz found a way to park inside his garage, making Paul's search pointless?

• 78: Paul muss es Laura sagen | Paul has to tell Laura

  Understand online comments & question words and pronouns in the accusative and dative: wem, wen, welcher, welchen, keinen, keinem, jemanden, jemandem, .... Working online has become a good income source for Paul. He reads some blog comments during the train ride to Sylt: Among other things, people write that at first Paul only took advantage of Laura as a source of information. He answers her message and says he doesn't have time for a date. She wants to know why but he doesn't tell her. He really likes her, and he thinks he will lose her if he tells her that at the beginning he only used her to get information from her. But because people already know the truth, she will find out sooner or later. He figures he has to tell her, but how? How can he soften the news for her that at first he only dated her because he needed information?
