Day 255: No View from the Brocken
At the top of the Brocken in the Harz mountains, in thick fog, Rolf (A), an older hiker, gets talking to a young hiker (B) who has walked up from the village of Schierke.
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.
