Talk about social problem areas and career choices, tip the waitress & subordinate clause with accusative (der Mann, den ich sehe). Paul is out with Laura when she tells him that Fritz always dreamed of owning a holiday home by the beach, maybe on the North Sea or Baltic Sea. Laura asks about Paul's job. Since he's jobless, he lies, saying he's a librarian but looking for something new. Laura is disappointed because Paul doesn't have a clear job goal. So now Paul really wants to find a job. He puts the big puzzle together: Fritz must be at a beachside holiday home with a garage and garden. And Paul’s missing book is surely also there. It turns out, by capturing the Großkauf thieves, Fritz got a promotion, money, and a vacation. Can Paul finally change his aimlessness? And where exactly is this holiday home?

He starts talking about books that were banned in the GDR, former East Germany. That's when he remembers THE book. Paul lies again: he says the book is at home.

Explain economics and politics in very simple words & temporal prepositions: ab; von ... bis; zwischen. Everyone thinks that the sticker on Fritz's garage door opener is in the shape of a lake. Therefore, Paul looks for it on the internet. But he cannot find such a lake in all of Germany. He thinks there is little hope because Fritz is certainly abroad. Laura writes: She saw Paul's Oktoberfest photos on Whatsapp and she also wants to go there with him. Grandpa talks about his time in the GDR. At first, Paul is fascinated by the GDR, but then he hears about the Stasi. He can barely prevent Grandpa from remembering the book. Will Grandpa remember asking him about the book, or is Paul lucky?

Tell a story about the past, make conclusions & temporal prepositions: vor, nach, seit. Paul's mom feels guilty because he got fired and so she transferred € 500 to his account. He pretends to know what kind of job he wants and says he'll tell her next time. So he is spared from having to tell his friends that they have to pay themselves, even though he said „it’s my treat“. He meets them at the Oktoberfest. It turns out that Fritz had a girlfriend the whole time. On the trip to Berlin he has always been on the phone and he also mentioned a garden. But Fritz's apartment doesn’t have a garden! Paul shows the garage door opener with the broken sticker to his friends. Tim says it might not be broken. The form of the sticker could represent a lake. Grandpa calls and Paul promises to visit him tomorrow. And he wonders if Laura was just being polite on their date because she hasn't answered him yet. Will grandpa want to see the book tomorrow? Is Laura ghosting him again? Will his parents find out he lied because he doesn't actually know what job he wants? What garden was Fritz talking about? Does the symbol on the garage door opener represent a lake?

Make suggestions and give commands & Imperative with Sie: kommen Sie / suggestion with wir: gehen wir. Paul is buying new clothes to be prepared in case he is invited to a job interview.

That makes Tim and Anna happy, too. Paul takes the opportunity to invite all of them to the Oktoberfest. But due to his shopping frenzy, his bank account is now in the red.

Why?They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls do.

Ask for a favor, express uncertainty, evade questions & imperative with ihr: geht / seid. Paul's parents are in the dance club. They talk to their friend, the head of the university and ask him to help Meili. He says he might be able to help her. Meanwhile, Paul texts Laura: He writes he doesn't like Fritz either.

Give commands and instructions & imperative with du: sei / iss / sag / antworte / öffne / fahr / geh. Paul writes Anna to ask her for some clothing store recommendations and learns about Meili's problems. Then he visits his parents for coffee and cake. Now they are very friendly to him because they have a guilty conscience: Paul has lost his job which is partly their fault. And Laura writes him that she is Fritz's ex-girlfriend. Paul thinks that's good because then she'll have information about him. But she surely thinks that Paul has a problem with it. So his plan to get a date with her is at risk. He needs to find a way to say he doesn't like Fritz anymore without getting into talking about problems a lot - it's far too early for that. Paul’s father brags about his important friends, including the head of the university. That’s when he gets an idea how his parents can help him, and they are very interested to hear about it. How can his parents help? What should he write back to Laura?

Anna and Tim aren't mad at Paul anymore. But Meili still is. And Fritz is gone. Paul has to get Meili to forgive him.

So he asks Meili about clothing shops. Laura has been acting very strange, but she could have information about Fritz. She is the only source that’s left now. He has to ask her, but not in the chat. He needs to do it casually on a date. Grandpa could remember the book at any time. Paul has to date Laura immediately to find the book quickly. Laura writes that there is something she needs to tell him. Meili answers that she can't help because she has „other worries“. What is it that Laura needs to tell Paul? What worries does Meili have? How can he get a date with Laura quickly?

Talk about football (soccer), make arrangements & dative and prepositions: aus der Ecke / bei dem Foul. Paul and Tim were at a football (soccer) game - Paul had invited him and paid for the tickets. As a thank you, Tim calls Fritz's landlord and pretends to be Fritz: He wants to get him to arrange for the garage door to be repaired, so that Paul can sniff around inside. But it turns out that the door and the opener are both new and cannot be broken at all. That means, Fritz has another garage and the opener must be for that garage. Tim is interested in Meili. He asks if Paul could arrange a meeting. Paul pretends that this is not a problem - but in reality it is because she is still mad at him. He reads Laura's many response messages: She writes to him because it was not okay of her to have ghosted him like that. Paul agrees with her. How can Paul arrange a meeting with Meili? Where are Fritz, the book and the garage?

Internet related words & dative with plural and indefinite articles: einem Mann / keiner Frau. Paul is sitting in bed with his laptop, researching surf spots in Germany. Unfortunately, there are far too many of them. He needs more information before he can go on with his search. He finds Laura's e-mail in the spam folder: She saw him yesterday and thinks he has a wife and a child. That’s because he helped his neighbor carry her shopping bags. Paul stays calm and gives her his Whatsapp number. She explains that she deleted her profile because the Finder app is stupid. And she actually wanted to get in touch with him by e-mail. But then she saw on Facebook that he is a friend of Fritz's. She says Fritz is boring and probably only has boring friends (Paul). Then she annoys him even more by bombarding him with messages. Paul doesn't feel like answering any more. But an idea occurs to him regarding the problem with Fritz's landlord and garage door repairs. What is Paul's idea?

Address related words for sending letters & the dative case (dem, der, dem). Paul is near his apartment and opens Fritz's letter. It's two weeks old and it has the cell phone number of Fritz's landlord. Paul wants to call him and have the garage door repaired in Fritz's name. That way, he'll be able to open it afterwards, and sniff around inside. His problem: He doesn't sound like Fritz. He meets his neighbor and helps her carry her shopping bags.

Tell a story, talk about an accident & perfect tense with separable and reflexive verbs. Anna has to empty her basement by herself. Her landlord puts pressure on her, but doesn't help. She drops a box because her shoulder hurts again. That's when Paul arrives. She reluctantly accepts his help. He gives her painkillers, and together they retell their bike accident story where she injured her shoulder. Later, she even shares an idea with him: He should go to Fritz's apartment and sniff around there. Previously, Paul hadn’t been sure why he should go there since Fritz is not even there.

Describe your situation in the past & perfect tense: wir sind gewesen / gelandet. Paul is still with Grandpa while Meili is sending a link from Fritz's Facebook page. Fritz was promoted because he caught the Großkauf thieves. That must be the reason why he is now the new head of the theft department. Anna writes that she has to empty her basement. She has a deadline, but a friend who wanted to help her just didn't show up. Even though nobody else can step in she still refuses Paul's help. Grandpa talks about „landing“ his plane in a forest and being a prisoner of war. Paul remembers Anna's shoulder is injured. She cannot carry anything. Grandpa advises him to quickly go help Anna. So he fortunately doesn’t remember to ask Paul about the book. Where are Fritz and the book? Why did he keep his promotion a secret?

So they don't know anything. And they are still angry at Paul. It seems it’s Fritz who has the book. Paul cannot confess to Grandpa that it’s gone because he is the last person Paul still has. Grandpa almost remembers the book, but Paul distracts him by asking him about the past: As a child, Grandpa thought playing war was great, but later not so much, because he only survived the real war by luck. Paul is also looking for Fritz's vacation posts on Facebook. With the help of the group, he finds out that Fritz blocked everyone from seeing them - except for Meili. A colleague wrote Fritz has just been promoted. Paul’s friends begin to understand his side a bit better now and he tries to get Meili to find out more. Grandpa almost remembered the book. Can Paul prevent that? Will Meili find out more about Fritz?

Ask for information about people, talk about smartphones & perfect tense: er hat erzählt / gesagt. Paul wants to visit Fritz at the police station and report the theft, but he is not there. He is the new head of the theft department and is currently on vacation. That seems to be something that Fritz has been hiding. Does he have the book? If so, then he would become aware of the report. Therefore, Paul doesn't file charges. He gets a message from his mom: His dad is addicted to mobile phone games, and he now only has an old Nokia phone. He can’t be blamed that Paul lost his job because he can no longer receive WhatsApp messages. Apparently she has given him a smartphone ban. So that's what she was trying to tell him on the phone in Berlin when she said Father has problems. Paul is desperate. Fritz is the new head of the theft department? Why? For what reason does he keep that as a secret? And he is on vacation now? Where? For how long? Why is he so mysterious?

German dinner foods, bring up and disarm arguments & adjective declensions: eine internationale Stadt / ein grüner Tee / ein leckeres Bier / schöne Ecken. Scandal at the dinner buffet! Paul confronts Anna. He followed her and thinks he saw her trying to sell his book. And she was seen on the surveillance video with her bag. He also mentions her criminal record for theft. Anna is outraged. She was just trying to find a present for Paul’s birthday which he completely forgot. That's why she was looking for her old job hunting book at home. She put that big book in her handbag - that's why it wouldn’t close. She brought it to Berlin to show it to a book seller so that she can buy Paul the same book as a brand new edition. Taking a long time to find the book in her apartment was the reason she was late at the train station in Munich. Not because of a broken bicycle. Also, her cell phone was not empty. She just didn't have time to answer it. Anna's gift is just as big as Paul’s lost book. She says: “This is the same bag as at the party. Your gift doesn't quite fit into the handbag. So THE book doesn't fit either, you idiot!“ She slams the new job hunting book she bought for Paul on the table and walks away. If his lost book had been in her bag, he would have seen it sticking out in the surveillance video. He realizes, Fritz is also innocent - his bag has the same size as Anna’s bag. Paul mentioned Anna's criminal record. That was against his promise which he made to Fritz earlier. Only police officers can get such information. Will Fritz be angry about this?

Give and receive information about somebody & plural: nouns that get an -en/-n ending. Fritz sends Paul some information: Anna has a criminal record for theft. Paul also knows she likes to read. Now he suspects her even more but he doesn’t want to risk asking her directly if she is the one who stole his book. So he decides to book a trip to Berlin for Fritz, Anna and himself. He needs a vacation anyway and he could collect more information about her during the trip. But right now she's still angry and probably wouldn’t come along ... How can Paul get Anna to come along for the trip?

Months & demonstrative pronouns: dieser, dieses, diese. Fritz and Paul are training in the gym. Fritz warns him not to keep upsetting their friends with his messages. Instead, he suggests a party at Paul's place. That way, he would have a chance to work things out in person with everybody. But Paul refuses. He thinks Anna stole the book. Fritz says, maybe he can help because he has an idea ... What is Fritz's idea? How does he want to help?

Why?They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls do.

After the party, Meili and Tim didn't visibly carry his book when leaving his apartment. Neither did Anna and Fritz, but they each had a bag. Paul seems to think his book was in one of the bags.

Talk about hobbies, make small talk, four seasons & possessive pronouns: unser(e), euer/eure. Paul meets Meili "by chance" near the university. He is more clever now: They make small talk about hobbies. He casually asks about Meili's job and apologizes for what he wrote earlier. It turns out that her message was just a misunderstanding: Meili doesn't have to work. Her parents pay everything for her. Then she remembers having seen a security camera in the hallway of Paul's apartment building! Will Paul be able to see who stole the book on the video from the security camera?

Justify actions, reflect on a situation, read the 24-hour clock & possessive pronouns: dein(e), sein(e), ihr(e). Paul tries to find Laura on Facebook. But it’s not easy, and he gives up. Also because this is making him feel like a stalker. Tim calls: He was on vacation. His mobile phone was switched off. Getting accused by Paul makes him angry. He can't have stolen the book because after the party he didn't even have a free hand to carry it. Paul regrets that he is so forgetful and not a good detective. Then he remembers Meili's answer from earlier in the group chat. She said she has a job, but Paul realizes that's not true: She’s only studies. The book is gone, and Tim didn't do it. Was it Meili?

Make appointments, read the traditional analog clock (tell the time) & possessive pronouns: mein(e), Ihr(e). Paul had to get out of the apartment to clear his head. He’s walking to Tim's bike repair shop because he wants to ask him about the book. He also needs his bicycle fixed. But he forgot about Fritz who arrives at Pauls apartment to help him. He now stands in front of closed doors, and tells Paul in a slightly angry phone call that he doesn’t want to help anymore. Paul finds out that Tim is not at work. He is on vacation and will be back tomorrow. He drops off his bike and walks home in the rain. He thinks he might find Laura on Facebook. How did Fritz want to help? Will he be promoted? Why didn't Laura show up at Paul’s party, and why did she delete her profile? Can Paul find her online?

Unexpectedly, Paul's parents are standing in front of him. They bring food so that he doesn't stay so skinny. Paul's mother teases his father for boasting about the two girlfriends he had in younger years. That's when he remembers that he gave Paul the book last time to distract from the topic. Paul must admit it’s gone. They are very angry and disappointed. The book is antique and worth a couple of thousand euros. Paul has to get it back! The search for the book gets serious.

Describe a problem, express compassion & determine the gender of nouns by their meanings: weather words. Fritz says he'll be right there to help. Paul wants to ask in the group chat who took the book, but he ends up outright accusing everybody. His friends are outraged, but still somewhat understanding. Nobody admits they took the book, though - so it was theft, not a mistake. But Paul thinks looking for the book is too difficult and wants to give up. He's not a detective after all. And his parents? He wants to tell them. He's interrupted in his thoughts as Fritz rings the doorbell. The book was stolen, but who has it? How will his parents react if he tells them? How does Fritz want to help?

Give advice, discuss weekend plans, ask for help, & determine the gender of nouns by their meanings: alcoholic drinks and colors. Paul has no doubt anymore that the book is gone. He thinks it was stolen. He wants to find it and calls Fritz, who knew nothing about its value. He offers to help and says maybe someone just borrowed it. He suggests a party because that would be a good opportunity for Paul to ask around. But Paul has no nerve for a party and prefers to ask everybody in the group chat. Fritz learns that Laura's profile has been deleted and Paul learns that Fritz has no idea whether he will be promoted or not. Was the book taken by mistake?

Times of the day, express despair and anger & determine the gender of nouns by their meanings: times of the day/days of the week/months/seasons/points of the compass, modal verb dürfen and modal verb summary. The next morning after the party, Paul realizes that the precious book he got from his parents is gone. They must never find out about it! The profile of his online date Laura, who didn’t show up, is also deleted. Paul is desperate. Why didn't Laura come, and why did she delete her online profile? How would his parents react if they ever found out the book is gone? Or did Paul maybe just misplace it? Where could it be?

Greetings and farewells in a text message & irregular verbs: geben/lesen/sehen, modal particle ‚aber‘. Paul is chatting with Laura again. This time he is not so clumsy. He invites her to his housewarming party, and she accepts the invitation. But Paul is unsure: Should he also invite Tim? Maybe Anna wouldn't like that … Transcript, lesson and extras: german-stories.com/18-kommt-laura-zur-party-irregular-verbs-modal-particle-aber Our characters DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves.
