COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

Mark and Thomas return for the final episode of Season 1 of Scenes! A quiet afternoon at the café allows the narrator to enjoy a peaceful moment—until an unexpected visitor arrives. Heinz shows up at an unusual time, surprising not only the narrator but also Charlotte, who has never met him before.


As Charlotte and Heinz strike up a conversation, the narrator reflects on the unique charm of Erna’s café. Every guest, whether a loyal regular or an occasional visitor, contributes to the stories that unfold here. Some are heartwarming, some bittersweet, and others remain unfinished—but each one is part of the café’s rhythm.


Mark and Thomas highlight useful grammar and vocabulary, such as der Schnappschnuss or vorschlagen or how to talk about assumptions or probability.


Lass dir dieses letzte Kapitel der Staffel nicht entgehen – eine wunderbare Möglichkeit, dein Deutsch mit einer besonderen Geschichte abzurunden!
