In today’s lesson Michaela’s neighbor insists on picking up his dog. Is Michaela going to hand the poor dog over just like that? Or does she still have a card up her sleeve? We will see.
We are also going to cover neighborhood disputes, living in German cities, the postal service and a lot more.
And today’s grammar point is the German word “müssen”. It is a German modal verb meaning “must”. We already covered “wollen” and “können”. So I am sure this one is going to be easy for you.

In today’s lesson, Michaela’s neighbor stops by to pick up his package. And he is about to face a rather unhappy Michaela about it. Will she give the dog to someone who is unreasonable enough to have it send by mail?
We are also going to touch another really vital grammar point: the German words können und wollen. Or in English can and want. You can use them everywhere. You can talk about your abilities and needs. You can use them to talk about surprising changes, too. For example: “I can come home early today.” which would be “Ich kann heute eher nach Hause kommen”.
That is a lot for just one lesson right? Not to forget: we will also talk about German pets.
So if some questions stay unanswered: just stop by and leave as a comment at GermanPod101.com
