COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

Mark and Thomas are back with another episode of Scenes! In this chapter, the café is busier than ever, as customers fill the space on a sunny Sunday. Regulars enjoy their routines, new visitors discover Erna’s charm, and the rhubarb cake disappears faster than ever.


While Erna thrives on the lively atmosphere, chatting and sharing her wisdom, Felix helps keep things moving behind the counter. Meanwhile, requests for iced coffee keep coming in, even though it’s technically only a summer drink. Could it be time to extend the season?


Mark and Thomas break down useful grammar and expressions, including causal subordinate sentences, different tenses, and useful verbs. 


Hör rein und erlebe das lebhafte Treiben in Ernas Café – eine unterhaltsame Möglichkeit, dein Deutsch zu verbessern!
