CBG Scenes 1.05 | Siegfried, Heinz und d...

COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

Mark and Thomas return with another lively episode of Scenes! This time, the gentlemen’s weekly Canasta match takes centre stage — especially as Heinz keeps winning, much to Siegfried’s frustration!


While the game unfolds, the café is quieter than usual, giving the narrator time to clean the clogged coffee machine. But just as it’s taken apart, two teenagers arrive, hoping for a coffee. With no other option, they settle for hot chocolate and enjoy their conversation by the window.


Mark and Thomas discuss useful grammar and expressions, such as participle constructions with either the present or the past participle.
