Learn German with GermanPod101.com! You are in the German airport, ready to go home after an awesome vacation in Germany. You make your way to the German security gate and are surprised that although you do not have to take off your shoes, you do still have to throw away your drink. After making it through the German security in one piece, you have to rush to your gate. You make it there after a few obstacles and when you reach your gate, you are dying of thirst! You ask an attendant in German, “Excuse me. Do you have a water fountain nearby?” The attendant is happy to help you and replies in German, “No sir, we do not have a water fountain, but we do have a food court right down there,” pointing down a hall. “Great,” you mutter in English. After rushing to get to your gate, you definitely don’t want to leave. The German attendant must have heard the comment and replies to you in English, “We also have vending machines right over there.” Slightly embarrassed, you reply “Thank you” in German and rush off to get a drink. Although you don’t want to leave, you would rather be anywhere in the world than in this German airport.

Learn German with GermanPod101.com! You have just come back from vacationing in Germany and you are ready to go back already! Your mother is ready for you to do back too with all that laundry you brought to her house when you arrived home. She asks you, “Did you not do ANY laundry while you were on vacation? Do they not have washers and dryers in Germany?” Just to be amusing, and knowing that your mother doesn’t believe in hang-drying clothes, you reply in German, “Mom, where I was staying they had no dryers, and I saw plenty of people that hanged their clothes on a line; I could’ve done that too. On top of that, they don’t believe in Laundromats.” Your mother doesn’t understand one word that you have just said. She approaches you and sternly says, “Do you think speaking that German will get you out of trouble? I hope when you were in Germany, you weren’t airing your dirty laundry.” Didn’t you just say that you didn’t do that? Oh yeah, she didn’t quite catch that, did she?

All of you German ladies could pull this off way better than I could.” The German sales associate just walks away without saying anything else.
