Mia's first morning in Germany begins at the station. She sees a train and asks: Is that the train to Berlin? A man says: No, this train goes to Bonn. Mia takes a deep breath. She needs Berlin, not Bonn. Wait a moment: der Zug nach Berlin. Here, nach shows the destination. For example: Ich fahre nach Hamburg. Quite easy, right? Mia goes to the information desk. Excuse me, where is platform three? The woman smiles: Straight ahead, then left. The train arrives at ten o'clock. It is nine fifty. Mia has ten minutes. Did you hear that? Straight ahead, then left. Dann means afterwards. Mia finds platform three at exactly that moment. The doors open. Mia gets on and finds a seat by the window. An older man sits next to her. He says warmly: Good morning. Good morning, Mia answers. Does this train really go to Berlin? The man nods. Yes, we will be there in about an hour. A quick question: Do you hear wirklich? The word makes the question stronger. The conductor comes. Mia shows her ticket on her phone. Your ticket, please. You hear this little sentence very often on the train. The train is on time. One hour later, Mia sits in her first German class. The teacher asks: What is your name? Mia answers slowly: My name is Mia. I come from Turkey. Then the teacher asks: Which languages do you speak? Mia says: I speak Turkish and a little German. A small observation: ich spreche, but du sprichst. Do you hear the difference? You do not have to explain it yet. Just say the two forms aloud once. During the break, a young woman sits next to Mia. Her name is Sofia. Sofia comes from Spain and has lived in Berlin for two weeks. She asks: Do you also live in Berlin? Mia answers: Yes, since yesterday. My apartment is in Neukölln. Seit gestern means: It began yesterday and is still true today. Sofia writes her number on a small piece of paper. Maybe we can have coffee tomorrow. Vielleicht is perfect when something is possible but not yet certain. After class, Mia and Sofia go outside together. The street is busy. Bicycles pass by, and the traffic light turns green. Sofia points to the right: There is a bakery. The bread is very good. Mia buys a bread roll and asks: Can I pay by card here? This is a phrase to take with you: Can I pay by card here? Yes, of course, says the shop assistant. Mia pays and puts the roll in her bag. Here natürlich means something like: of course, no problem. After the course, Mia is hungry. She goes into a small café. She says: I would like a coffee and a sandwich, please. The barista asks: Would you like water too? Yes, gladly, says Mia. How much is that altogether? Seven euros fifty, says the barista. That was polite: Ich möchte. In a café it sounds much friendlier than ich will. What would you like? Add just one word in your head: tea, water, or juice. Mia opens her bag. Suddenly she becomes quiet. Oh no, my card is not there. She looks in the small pocket, then in her book. Nothing. The barista says calmly: No problem. Look at the table once more. Wait, there is a useful word pair here: in the bag, but on the table. Look around briefly. What is on your table? And there it is: The card is on the table, under the menu. Mia laughs. By card, please, she says now with complete confidence. The barista gives her the receipt. Mia says: Many thanks. Goodbye. By the way, Mit Karte, bitte is already a complete mini-sentence. You can use it immediately. Mia puts the receipt in her bag and goes back out onto the street. The day is not over yet. She still needs a few things for the new apartment. Then let's go with her. Let's see which everyday phrases Mia still needs. First, Mia goes to the supermarket. There is still almost nothing in her kitchen. Her list says milk, eggs, tomatoes, rice, and apples. She finds the milk, but she cannot see the rice. Mia asks an employee: Excuse me, where can I find rice? Wo finde ich is more practical than just wo ist. The thing you are looking for comes right after it. The rice is at the back on the left, next to the pasta. Mia says thank you. Neben means directly at the side. The pasta is next to the rice. With two bags, Mia walks to the bus stop. It begins to rain lightly. She sees many numbers on the timetable. But which bus goes to Neukölln? A woman waits next to her. Mia asks: Does bus 174 go to Neukölln? Yes, but you have to change at the town hall, the woman explains. Umsteigen is an important travel word: out of one bus and into another. Mia repeats: Change at the town hall. Thank you for the help. Repeating helps. That is how Mia checks whether she understood everything correctly. At last, Mia stands in front of her new building. The shopping bags are heavy. She looks for the key. This time it is right there, in her jacket pocket. In the hallway, she meets her neighbor. He is carrying a large parcel. Hello, I am Daniel from the second floor, he says. Aus dem zweiten Stock describes where Daniel lives. Here Stock means floor. Mia introduces herself. Daniel holds the door open, and she says: That is very kind. Das ist sehr nett always fits when someone kindly helps you. Mia puts the groceries away. The milk goes into the refrigerator. She puts the apples in a bowl and the rice in the cupboard. Then she makes herself tea and sits by the window. Buses pass outside. The city is loud, but Mia feels calm. Notice the movement: into the refrigerator. The location afterwards is: in the refrigerator. Mia looks at her list. Everything is done. People like to say alles erledigt when no task is left to do. In the evening, Mia's brother calls. He wants to know how her first day went. Mia tells him about the wrong train, the German class, and her new friend Sofia. She also tells him about the card. Now they both have to laugh. Her brother asks: Was everything difficult? Mia thinks for a moment. No, she says. New, but not too difficult. New, but not too difficult. With aber, Mia connects two different thoughts. After the call, Mia writes: Today I spoke a lot of German. One quick recap: Is that the train to Berlin? For cities: I am going to Berlin. In class: My name is Mia. I speak Turkish. In the café: I would like a coffee, please. And when you pay: By card, please. Well done. Choose one sentence and use it aloud today.
