About this episode

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?

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
