Accusations, reasons, excuses & subjunctive II with hätte. At the party, Fritz hid the book under his sweater and took it away. That actually saved it from falling off the balcony, he says. When Paul upset everybody there was no chance to give it back secretly. And the option to admit that he was the one who had the book without losing his face was gone, too. So he handed the book over to the caretaker who's doing the lost-and-found for Paul's apartment building. But that was already 3 weeks ago. That's why he's so shocked that Paul doesn't have it back yet. Fritz thought Paul would surely assume that it had fallen down and ask the caretaker if someone found it. And he thought that the caretaker probably told him it was Fritz who gave him the book. That - and the fact that he is together with Paul’s ex-girlfriend - is the reason why he isn't surprised that Paul is angry at him. He shows him his phone and SIM card: They’re burnt. It looks like Fritz’s electronics really got wet in a rain. And in Berlin, Fritz was apparently on the phone all the time because he bragged to his new girlfriend about "his" new holiday home - which actually belongs to his uncle. Paul calls Anna. She goes to the caretaker and gets the book. He is very happy, but the glued-in page with the important info is missing. Without it, Grandpa won't be able to find the new address of the hiding place of the painting. Fritz says he doesn't have it, and stays in denial till the end: "I didn't do anything wrong." The book is back, but what will Grandpa say about the missing page and the important info being lost?

Get upset about someone, blow off steam, make excuses & order of dative and accusative in a sentence when both objects are personal pronouns. Paul confronts Fritz, who does not apologize, but justifies his behavior instead: His new girl is Paul’s ex girlfriend, and he thought Paul would mind. So he didn't tell him. He blocked his facebook posts for all of his friends because it was supposed to be a surprise that he caught the Großkauf thieves, got the promotion, the vacation, and the holiday home. But he forgot that Meili is also on facebook and can see his posts. Since he was late for Paul’s party, he didn’t hear him say the book is valuable. And he just „borrowed“ it for his new girl. Later he wanted to give it back. But then Paul made a big deal about it and upset everybody. So he wanted to have another party to get a chance to secretly put it back. But there were no more parties, soe he tried to visit Paul to put it back. But he came and stood in front of closed doors. Fritz says both his phone and SIM card are broken because they got wet in a rain. He couldn't get in touch and didn’t mean to ignore him. He has no phone numbers, no logins for social media and messengers, and no access to e-mail. Paul wants to know where his book is. Fritz is shocked to hear that he doesn't already have it. Why is Fritz so shocked and thinks Paul already has the book? If he thinks Paul already has the book, why wasn’t he surprised that he is still mad at him? Transcript, lesson and extras: german-stories.com/82-das-grosse-wiedersehen-teil-2-order-of-dative-accusative-in-sentences Learn German with Stories - the idea behind it We felt that the best way to learn German is NOT using the old style teaching material with chapters full of tiny texts and unrelated stories. Our idea was to spoon-feed you German in very small bits. And to tell you parts of one big story at the same time. An awesome, full-blown story with different storylines that continues throughout all lessons. We wanted to keep you motivated and say "I can't wait to find out what happens next episode!"

Travel vocabuary, neighborhood rules & order of dative and accusative in a sentence when one object is a personal pronoun. Paul thinks about his situation: he doesn't get any unemployment benefits anymore because he’s now able to make a living as a freelancer. Fortunately, his laptop and cell phone survived yesterday's rain thanks to a plastic bag. He has already checked out of the hotel room. And he has been looking for Fritz for five hours today - with no success. He realizes that he has to give up the search. Unfortunately he will have to disappoint Grandpa. Maybe he'll never talk to Paul again. Laura writes: She has read the entire story in the blog now, and is no longer angry. Actually, she can understand Paul. She, too, was unfair to him in the beginning when she ghosted him. At this moment, he overhears a man’s voice in the distance. Loud complains about mowing the lawn on a Sunday. He notices that there is also a red BMW with Munich license plates in front of a garage nearby. He sees the man's neighbor who has an eye-catching tattoo. And then he notices that the man is Fritz! It's his car that is parked in front of the garage - apparently he doesn't have a second garage door opener. What will happen when Paul confronts Fritz? Transcript, lesson and extras: german-stories.com/81-das-grose-wiedersehen-teil-1-order-of-dative-accusative-in-sentences Learning German with training wheels The characters in our story DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves. Why?They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls do. If you want know why we spent over 1 1/2 years of work before we even published our first lesson, go to german-stories.com/the-best-way-to-learn-german
