COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

Mark and Thomas return with an emotional new episode of Scenes! It’s late in the evening, and Johanna is still sitting at her table, lost in thought. She’s usually happy to chat with Erna, but today, something is different.


After some gentle encouragement, Johanna finally admits what’s been bothering her—her close university friend Nadine is leaving for a year abroad, and it’s not just friendship that she’s worried about. As Johanna struggles to find the right words, Erna reminds her that some things are best said before it’s too late.


 Mark and Thomas highlight useful grammar and vocabulary, such as verbs that always require a dative object or the multiple meanings of machen.


Begleite Johanna auf ihrem Weg – die ideale Gelegenheit, Deutsch mit einer bewegenden Geschichte zu lernen!
