Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to ask someone to do something in German?
You'll learn how in just a moment.
Hi, my name is Jesper, and this is Three Step German by GermanPod101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to ask someone to do something politely through a short conversation.
Let's look at the dialogue.
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds.
Aron, bitte trink viel Tee und bleib heute im Bett.
Alles klar. Soll ich auch Medikamente nehmen?
Ja, aber nur zwei Tabletten pro Tag.
Verstanden, ich mache das.
Let's hear it with the English translation.
Pay attention to the first sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson.
Aron, bitte trink viel Tee und bleib heute im Bett.
"Aron, please drink a lot of tea and stay in bed today."
Alles klar. Soll ich auch Medikamente nehmen?
"All right. Should I also take medication?"
Ja, aber nur zwei Tabletten pro Tag.
"Yes, but only two tablets a day."
Verstanden, ich mache das.
"Understood, I'll do that."
