In Germany there is a saying “Wenn einer einer Reise tut, dann kann er was erzählen.”, which basicly states the obvious observation “If you travel, there is a lot you can talk about afterward.” Everyone wants stories, a few nice words, knowledge where you have been and most importantly: what those places looked like.
One of the easiest ways to meet all that at once is to send tons of postcards.
In todays lesson John is going to do just that and we will accompany him to the post office. Not only is the the best place to buy stamps, there you will also learn the prices for sending postcards within Germany or to the US. And if a German post office is too far away for you: don’t worry. The numbers used in this lesson are the real prices you will have to pay for a postcard.
Speaking of numbers: we will finally cover how to build numbers up to a few thousands. That is going to be even more useful than you think right now, because you need numbers everywhere! Understanding numbers is going to be aspecially useful when you are paying your bills. Whether you are buying a soda, paying for your room, for entrance fees or for you meal, it is going to pay to understand the numbers. And if you pay real close attention to todays lesson, you are going to find a number related mistake. But we won’t tell you where. You’ll have to find that one for yourself.
