COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

Mark and Thomas return with the next chapter of Scenes! As heavy rain pours down, Johanna rushes into the café, drenched and frustrated. A dedicated law student, she usually enjoys studying here, but today, her soaked textbooks and looming deadlines leave her feeling overwhelmed.


Erna, always quick to notice when someone needs support, offers comforting words and a little extra whipped cream on Johanna’s favourite rhubarb cake. Will that and a warm conversation help lift her spirits?


Alongside the story, Mark and Thomas discuss complex relative clauses, the use of past participles as adjectives, and useful expressions like etwas wiedergutmachen and jemanden aufmuntern.
