Auf was hast du Lust? J: Hmm, diesen Teil der Stadt kenne ich nicht so gut. Welche Restaurants gibt es hier in der Nähe? Kannst du etwas empfehlen? A: Hier auf der Oranienburger Straße befinden sich viele gute Restaurants. Es gibt alles, sogar Essen aus Kuba oder aus Singapor. J: Kubanisch klingt interessant. Lass uns da essen! A: Okay! J: ... Was ist denn das für ein Gebäude? A: Was? Das da? J: Ja. A: Das ist das Kunsthaus Tacheles. J: Das ist so alt, und voller Graffiti, das passt gar nicht zum Aussehen der anderen Gebäude. Alle anderen Gebäude hier sind moderne, schicke Restaurants. A: Stimmt. Das Tacheles ist ein besetztes Haus. Das ist schon seit 1990 so. Immer wieder will man es abreißen, aber die Hilfe der Berliner hält es am Leben. Mittlerweile ist es ziemlich bekannt, du siehst ja die Schlange der Touristen... J: Die wollen alle das Kunsthaus Tacheles sehen? A: Ja. J: Vielleicht sollten wir später zurückkommen und es uns dann ansehen. Nach dem Essen oder so. ----Formal English---- J: What shall we eat today? A: I don't know yet. What are you in the mood for? J: Hmm, I don't know this part of the city that well. Which restaurants are there nearby? Can you recommend something? A: Here on Oranienburger street there are many good restaurants. There's everything, even food from Cuba or Singapore. J: Cuban sounds interesting. Let's eat there! A: Okay! J: ... What sort of building is that? A: What? That one there? J: Yes. A: That's the Tacheles Art-house. J: It's so old, and full of graffiti, it doesn't match the appearance of the other buildings at all. All the other buildings here are modern trendy restaurants. A: That's right. Tacheles is a squat. It has been that way since 1990. They keep wanting to tear it down, but the support of Berliners keeps it alive. In the mean time, it has become well-known. You can see the line of tourists... J: They all want to see the Tacheles art-house? A: Yes. J: Maybe we should come back later and take a look. Maybe after the meal. --------------------------- Learn German with GermanPod101!
