Coffee Break German

Mark and Thomas return with an emotional new episode of Scenes! It’s late in the evening, and Johanna is still sitting at her table, lost in thought. She’s usually happy to chat with Erna, but today, something is different. After some gentle encouragement, Johanna finally admits what’s been bothering her—her close university friend Nadine is leaving for a year abroad, and it’s not just friendship that she’s worried about. As Johanna struggles to find the right words, Erna reminds her that some things are best said before it’s too late.  Mark and Thomas highlight useful grammar and vocabulary, such as verbs that always require a dative object or the multiple meanings of machen.

Mark and Thomas return with another lively episode of Scenes! This time, the gentlemen’s weekly Canasta match takes centre stage — especially as Heinz keeps winning, much to Siegfried’s frustration! While the game unfolds, the café is quieter than usual, giving the narrator time to clean the clogged coffee machine. But just as it’s taken apart, two teenagers arrive, hoping for a coffee. With no other option, they settle for hot chocolate and enjoy their conversation by the window. Mark and Thomas discuss useful grammar and expressions, such as participle constructions with either the present or the past participle.  Schalte ein und finde heraus, wie das Spiel endet – eine unterhaltsame Möglichkeit, dein Deutsch zu trainieren!

Mark and Thomas return with another engaging episode of Scenes! In this Chapter, the café is busier than usual for a weekday, and among the customers, something special is happening. At the large family table, a young woman seems anxious while her boyfriend reassures her. Her elegantly dressed parents sit across from them, clearly unimpressed. But as soon as the young woman speaks, everything changes - her father chokes in shock, and her mother is left speechless. She’s just announced her pregnancy! Will her parents accept the news? Mark and Thomas discuss useful grammar and expressions, like verbs with prepositional objects or the difference between temporal adverbs and conjunctions.    Verpasse nicht dieses bewegende Kapitel – eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, deine Sprachkenntnisse mit authentischen Dialogen zu erweitern!

Mark and Thomas are back with another episode of Scenes! In this chapter, the café is busier than ever, as customers fill the space on a sunny Sunday. Regulars enjoy their routines, new visitors discover Erna’s charm, and the rhubarb cake disappears faster than ever. While Erna thrives on the lively atmosphere, chatting and sharing her wisdom, Felix helps keep things moving behind the counter. Meanwhile, requests for iced coffee keep coming in, even though it’s technically only a summer drink. Could it be time to extend the season? Mark and Thomas break down useful grammar and expressions, including causal subordinate sentences, different tenses, and useful verbs.  Hör rein und erlebe das lebhafte Treiben in Ernas Café – eine unterhaltsame Möglichkeit, dein Deutsch zu verbessern!

Mark and Thomas return with the next chapter of Scenes! As heavy rain pours down, Johanna rushes into the café, drenched and frustrated. A dedicated law student, she usually enjoys studying here, but today, her soaked textbooks and looming deadlines leave her feeling overwhelmed. Erna, always quick to notice when someone needs support, offers comforting words and a little extra whipped cream on Johanna’s favourite rhubarb cake. Will that – and a warm conversation – help lift her spirits? Alongside the story, Mark and Thomas discuss complex relative clauses, the use of past participles as adjectives, and useful expressions like etwas wiedergutmachen and jemanden aufmuntern.
