- 7:55Just a moment.
- 7:56Yes, I have paper in my backpack.
- 8:01Great, thank you very much.
- 8:04Here, two of them. It's just paper.
- 8:08No problem, that helps a lot.

- 8:17There's a café up ahead with a restroom.
- 8:22Far away?
- 8:25No, it's only a two-minute walk.
- 8:29Perfect. Is it expensive?
- 8:34No, a coffee costs almost two euros.
- 8:38Then I'll go there.
- 8:42Are you a tourist?
- 8:44Yes, since yesterday.
- 8:48Then you absolutely have to see the cathedral.
- 8:52Yes, this afternoon.
- 8:56Good times, then it's quieter.
- 9:00Thanks for the tip.
- 9:03Would you like more paper?
- 9:05No, thank you.
- 9:08Sure, I have a handkerchief too.
- 9:12Oh, that's better. Thanks.
- 9:16Please, take it easy.
- 9:20That's very kind of you.
- 9:23No problem.
- 9:26I'll wash it and give it back.
- 9:29You don't need it, keep it.

- 9:37Yeah, right around the corner.
- 9:41Nice neighborhood.
- 9:43Yeah, things are always busy.
- 9:46I really like Berlin.
- 9:49Great, so you already have a little story.
- 9:55Yes, and thankfully a drier shirt.
- 10:00Glad to hear it. Enjoy the cafe!
- 10:04Thank you. Have a nice day.
- 10:08You too. Bye.

- 10:49Are you in Berlin for the first time?
- 10:53No, I was here before, two years ago.
- 10:57Oh, just for a bit?
- 11:00Yes, just one day. This time I'm staying a week.
- 11:06Very nice.
- 11:08Have you been to the zoo?
- 11:11Yes, yesterday. I liked the park.
- 11:16It's even more beautiful there in the spring.
- 11:21I believe that. Have you been driving long?
- 11:26Yes, for ten years.
- 11:30Then you probably know the whole city.
- 11:34Almost everything, and of course, all the traffic jams.
- 11:40There's a lot of traffic today, isn't there?
- 11:43Yes, it's quitting time.
- 11:47It's 6 PM now.
- 11:51Will I make my 7 PM train?
- 11:54Don't worry, I know a shortcut.
- 11:59Very good, thank you.
- 12:02Do you like music in the car?
- 12:06Yes, but preferably a bit quieter.
- 12:10Understood.
- 12:11I'm doing something quiet.
- 12:15Perfect, that's nice.
- 12:18Right now.
- 12:21We're almost at the train station.
- 12:24Oh, you're already here? That was fast.
- 12:28That'll be twelve euros, please.
- 12:32Here's fifteen euros, keep the change.
- 12:37Thank you, that's kind of you.
- 12:41Thanks, you too.
- 12:43Have a good train journey!
- 12:46Thank you.
- 12:47Have a nice day.
- 12:50Bye.
- 12:52At the ticket machine.
- 12:55Hello, excuse me.

- 13:00Sure, what do you need?
- 13:03I don't know how the machine works.

- 13:09Where do you want to go?
- 13:12To Munich this afternoon.
- 13:15Okay. First, tap "Buy Ticket."

- 14:26Be at the platform 15 minutes early.
- 14:31Okay, thanks.
- 14:33Where's the platform for Munich?
- 14:36Down. Follow the yellow signs.
- 14:40Thank you.
- 14:42Is this your first time going to Munich?
- 14:47Yes, just for one day.
- 14:50Then go to the old town hall and try some Weißwurst.
- 14:55Oh yeah, is that expensive?
- 14:59No, it's about 10 euros at the pub.
- 15:03Perfect, thanks for the tip.
- 15:06Sure. Have a good trip.
- 15:09Thanks for helping with the vending machine.
- 15:14No problem. Have a nice day.
- 15:18Getting lost on a city tour.
- 15:21Hello. Can you help me?
- 15:25Yeah, sure. What happened?
- 15:29I'm giving a city tour and I've lost my group.
- 15:34Oh no. Where were you last?
- 15:38In a large hall with many pictures.
- 15:43You mean the hall in the museum?
- 15:47Yes, I think so.
- 15:50Do you know the guide?
- 15:52Yes, his name is Martin and he's wearing a red t-shirt.
- 15:57I saw that one.
- 16:00He went towards Alexanderplatz.
- 16:03Is it far from here?
- 16:06No, it's only a five-minute walk.
- 16:10Great. How do I get there?
- 16:14You go straight, then left, and over the bridge.
- 16:20Okay, thanks.
- 16:23Shall I come with you?
- 16:25Yes, please, if possible.
- 16:29No problem. I have time.
- 16:33It's really easy to get lost here.
- 16:38Yes, there are a lot of streets and people.
- 16:43I took some photos and then lost the group.
- 16:48I know that feeling. It happens a lot.
- 16:53Are you from Berlin?
- 16:55Yes, I've lived here since I was a kid.
- 17:01Great. I think Berlin is very beautiful.
- 17:05Yes, there's always a lot to see here.
- 17:10Oh, look, there's my group up ahead.
- 17:14Yes, and there's your guide in the red t-shirt.
- 17:20Great. Thanks a lot for your help.
- 17:25You're welcome. Have fun!
- 17:29Thank you. Have a nice day.
- 17:31You too. Bye.
- 17:35Try some fruit at the market.
- 17:38Good day.
- 17:41Hello. What can I get for you?
- 17:44I'm looking at the tangerines.
- 17:47These are great. Fresh from Spain.
- 17:51May I try one?
- 17:55Sure, here you go.
- 17:57Thanks... mmm, these are really delicious.
- 18:02Yes, they're in season now.
- 18:05How much do they cost?
- 18:07Two euros a kilo.
- 18:11Great. I'll take a kilo then.
- 18:15Sure. Would you like some oranges too?
- 18:19No thanks, just the tangerines.
- 18:23Okay. Here's your kilo.
- 18:26Anything else?
- 18:29Yes, those strawberries there.
- 18:31May I try one?
- 18:34Go ahead and try one, but be warned, they're very sweet.
- 18:39Oh yeah, that's exactly how I like it.
- 18:43They're from the region.
- 18:45Picked this morning.
- 18:48How much is half a kilo?
- 18:52Two euros fifty.
- 18:56Okay, I'll take half a kilo too.
- 19:00Very nice. Should I rinse them quickly?
- 19:05No thanks, I'll wash them at home.
- 19:09Do you live here in the city?
- 19:13No, I'm on vacation in Berlin for a week.
- 19:18Then try this mango too.
- 19:21Oh, really?
- 19:25Sure, here you go.
- 19:27Wow, that tastes fantastic.
- 19:32Three euros a kilo.
- 19:35Very good. What does that add up to?
- 19:39Seven fifty.
- 19:43Here are eight, that's right.
- 19:46Thank you, that's very kind.
- 19:49Thank you, have a nice day.
- 19:54Likewise, and have a great time in Berlin!
- 19:58Price at the register different than on the sign.
- 20:02Hello.
- 20:05Hello, would you like to buy the shirt?
- 20:09Yes, but the sign said fifteen euros.
- 20:14That's weird, it's twenty euros at the checkout.
- 20:19Why?
- 20:21Maybe the offer ended yesterday.
- 20:27But I got it off the shelf for fifteen euros.
- 20:33May I see the label?
- 20:36Yes, please.
- 20:38Yes, that's right, it says fifteen euros.
- 20:41Let me just check the system real quick.
- 20:44Thank you.
- 20:47One moment, yes, you're right, it's fifteen euros.
- 20:53Great, I'll take it.
- 20:57Would you like a matching belt?
- 20:59Today, fifty percent off.
- 21:04No, thank you, just the shirt.
- 21:07Alright.
- 21:08Card or cash?
- 21:12Card, please.
- 21:15Then plug it in here.
- 21:18Finished.
- 21:21Perfect, here's your receipt.
- 21:25Thank you. Can I exchange the shirt if it doesn't fit?
- 21:31Yes, you have thirty days with Bonn.
- 21:36Very good.
- 21:38Do you have this shirt in other colors?
- 21:42Yes, we have it in blue and gray.
- 21:46Maybe I'll come back later.
- 21:50We're open until eight o'clock.
- 21:54Good to know. Thanks.
- 21:57Sure.
- 21:59Have a nice day.
- 22:02Thank you too.
- 22:05Switching rooms because of the noise.
- 22:08Hello.
- 22:10Good day, can I help you?
- 22:14Yes, I'm in room 204.
- 22:18It's very loud there.
- 22:21Is that traffic or music?
- 22:24I think it's music from a bar outside.
- 22:30Oh yeah, they often have live music in the evenings there.
- 22:36Yesterday it was until two in the morning.
- 22:40Oh, that's really annoying.
- 22:44Could I please have a different room?
- 22:48Sure, I'll take a look.
- 22:51Thank you.
- 22:54We have room 315, it's quiet because it faces the courtyard, but there's no view.
- 23:01No problem. Peace and quiet are more important.
- 23:06The room is right next to the elevator.
- 23:11That's okay.
- 23:13Would you like someone to bring your luggage up?
- 23:17No, thank you.
- 23:19I only have a small suitcase.
- 23:22Okay, here's your new key card.
- 23:27Thank you. My reservation is good until Sunday, right?
- 23:32Yes, exactly, until Sunday.
- 23:36Is there a coffee machine in the room too?
- 23:40Yes, there's a small machine here.
- 23:45Very nice.
- 23:46Please clean in the afternoon.
- 23:49No problem, I'll make a note of that.
- 23:54Can you hear the elevator loudly?
- 23:57A little bit, but much quieter than the music.
- 24:02Then it's perfect.
- 24:05If you need anything else, just give us a call.
- 24:10Yes, thank you very much for your help.
- 24:14Certainly. I wish you a nice day.
- 24:19Thank you too.
