COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

Mark and Thomas return with episode nine of Scenes! At lunchtime, the café is lively as guests enjoy coffee and fresh pastries. But at a small table by the window, a young woman is lost in thought—until a phone call brings her to tears.


While Erna is busy with a broken cash register, the narrator decides to step in, offering a simple act of kindness: the last piece of redcurrant cake. Sometimes, words aren’t needed.


Mark and Thomas discuss useful grammar and vocabulary, such as aufmuntern, vergraben or expressions like etwas zum Guten wenden
