In Darmstadt, Olaf (A) asks his grown-up daughter Rosalie (B) how the viewing of her first flat went.
How to study this lesson 3 steps
- Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
- Read the dialogue line by line with its translation, until every line makes sense. Point at (or tap) a German word to see what it means.
- Spend at least 30 minutes listening to native German, for example from the Resources page. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yet.
Dialogue
Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

Und, wie war die Besichtigung? Hast du die Wohnung bekommen?
So, how was the viewing? Did you get the flat?

Fast, der Vermieter hätte nur gern noch deine Unterschrift. Würdest du das machen, Papa?
Almost, the landlord would just like your signature as well. Would you do that, Dad?

Na klar. Als ich mein erstes Zimmer gemietet habe, hat Opa auch für mich unterschrieben.
Of course. When I rented my first room, Grandad signed for me too.

B
Echt? Und wie viel hast du damals dafür bezahlt?
Really? And how much did you pay for it back then?

Dreihundert Mark, und die Dusche war im Keller. Dagegen ist deine Wohnung ein Schloss!
Three hundred marks, and the shower was in the basement. Your flat's a palace compared to that!
