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?

Learn German with GermanPod101.com! You’ve just returned from your first job interview in Germany, and you’re roommate has been wearing a hole in the floor to hear how things went! As soon as you put your key in the door, he swings it open and yells out in German, “How did it go?!” Laughing and half-shocked at his enthusiasm, you reply in German, “Before I knew you were so anxious to get me out of the house, I was going to tell you things didn’t go badly!” Realizing he seems a bit overanxious, he takes a seat at the table and allows you some breathing room to continue. “I was glad you had printed the map for me. I found the place easily. And I was glad you had urged me to leave when I did because the darn bus was early!” “Glad you made it on time,” he says in German. “So did you feel good about the interview before you left?” Hesitating, you reply in German, “I had thought of some good answers beforehand, and I used most of them, but still…I’m not sure.” Cheerfully, your roommate says in German, “Well, don’t worry about it now. Let’s celebrate your first interview. While you were out, I bought sausages and sauerkraut! I’m treating you to a nice German meal!”
