Transcript

Hello! I'd like a coffee, please. Eine coffee? No, no! It's: I'd like a (einen) coffee! Uh... einen? Why not eine? Because coffee is masculine: der Kaffee. Okay, let's explain this now. Here we go! Hello and a warm welcome back! I'm Leo. And I'm Lena. Great that you're here! In lesson four you learned the numbers. And in lesson five the time and the days. Today we go to the cafe! We order food and drinks. Let's go! This is our plan for today. First the articles in the accusative. Then drinks and dishes from the menu. How to order politely. The bill and the price in euros. And at the end: dialogue, quiz and a story! Look at the menu. These are the drinks. The coffee, three euros. Very important in the morning! The tea, two fifty. The water, two euros. Careful: das Wasser! The cola, three euros. Die Cola - feminine! The beer, four euros. And the juice, three fifty. Every word has an article: der, die or das. Always learn the word with its article! Now the most important trick of the lesson. When ordering you use the accusative. Der becomes einen. I'd like a coffee. Only der changes! That's the trick. Die stays eine. I'd like a cola. And das stays ein. I'd like a water. So: einen Kaffee, eine Cola, ein Wasser. Only the masculine gets the -en. Remember that! Are you hungry? Then look at the dishes. The bread roll, two euros. Perfect for breakfast. The cake, four euros. On Sunday I eat cake! The soup, five euros. Warm and tasty. The salad, six euros. Healthy! The pizza, eight euros. My favourite! And the ice cream, three euros. As dessert! Enjoy your meal! But first we order. There are three polite sentences for ordering. I'd like a coffee. I'd like a soup. Very polite! I'll take the pizza. Short and simple. And the waiter? He asks you. What would you like? Would you like something to drink? Anything else? - No, thank you. And at the end always: please and thank you! Five important words. Number one: To order. That's what you do in a restaurant. I'm ordering a tea. What are you ordering? We order together. Number two: the menu. Or short: die Karte. The menu, please! What's on the menu? The menu is in German. Number three: I'd like. Very, very polite! That's the best sentence for ordering. I'd like a water. I'd like the soup. What would you like? Number four: the bill. Very important at the end! The bill, please! The waiter asks: Together or separate? The bill is twelve euros. And don't forget the tip! Number five: tasty, hunger and thirst. Lecker means: very good to eat. The pizza is very tasty! I'm hungry. I want to eat. And I'm thirsty. I want to drink. Now we pay. How much is that? You always need this question: How much is that? A coffee costs three euros. A soup costs five euros. Three plus five is eight. Remember lesson four? That's eight euros altogether. Do you pay by card or cash? Cents matter too: two fifty means two euros and fifty cents. Numbers from lesson four - now with money! Quiz time! Answer out loud. Five questions. Question one: I'd like ... coffee. Der Kaffee! A coffee (einen)! Der becomes einen. Question two: I'd like ... cola. Die Cola! A cola (eine)! Die stays eine. Question three: I'd like ... water. Das Wasser! A water (ein)! Das stays ein. Question four: How do you ask for the price? How much is that? Perfect! Last question: three euros plus five euros? Eight euros! You're a pro! Now a real dialogue. Leo orders in the cafe. Good day! What would you like? Good day. I'd like a coffee. Sure. Would you also like something to eat? Yes, I'll take a piece of cake. Of course. Anything else? No, thanks. How much is that? The coffee three euros, the cake four. So seven euros. Here you go. Thank you! Enjoy your meal! Thank you very much! Lena, tell us. What happened at the cafe? Oh, that was funny. So, listen. On Saturday I go to a small cafe. The waiter asks: What would you like? I'm nervous and say: I'd like a (eine) coffee. Oh no! Eine coffee? The article mistake! Exactly! The waiter smiles and says: einen Kaffee. I blush. But then I order correctly. A coffee and a piece of cake, please! And the bill? Seven euros. I pay and leave a tip. The coffee is tasty, the cake too! A good ending! And now I know: always einen Kaffee, never eine Kaffee! Well done! That was lesson six. You can now order in a cafe. And you know the trick: der becomes einen. I'd like - the most polite sentence! Practise in a real cafe. Go for it! Next lesson: shopping at the supermarket. We go shopping and count money! See you soon! Bye! A coffee, a cola, a water, come to the café, sing along, that's you! The coffee becomes one, the cola stays at one, the water remains at one - only the man has the -en! A coffee, please! I would like something nice, a piece of cake, small. I want, I take, I would like so much - German in the café, we learn from the heart! A coffee three euros, a cake four, that makes seven together - count with me! Two, three, five and eight, Numbers from lesson four, well done! A coffee, please! I would like something nice. What can it be? A piece of cake, small one. I want, I take, I would like so much - German in the café, we learn from the heart! On Monday a tea, on Friday a beer, at half past seven in the morning I'm already sitting here. How much does it cost? The bill, please! Together or apart - stay in the middle! Please and thank you, that sounds so nice, the soup is warm and the pizza is fatty. I'm hungry, I'm thirsty - delicious, delicious, that's it, completely free... Almost! A coffee, please! I would like something nice, What can it be? a piece of cake, small. I want, I take, I would like that so much - wonderful, sir! Until next time!
