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!”
