Text 1A Tee . . . (Audio 1; 18)
Montagvormittag1
The setting You decide on impulse to take a five-day, non-package, do-it-yourself break in Berlin, leaving home on a Sunday and arriving on Monday morning at the Hauptbahnhof, the main railway station. Your first objective is the KurfĂŒrstendamm, a broad boulevard, with its irresistible cafĂ©s. You enter the most spacious and comfortable cafĂ© you have ever encountered and take a seat. The waitress approaches. . .
The dialogue The waitress greets you with the words âGood dayâ and you simply repeat. She asks you what you want. You choose tea â and you donât want it with lemon but with milk. The waitress then asks you something which you surmise might imply âCan I get you a thick slice of gateau covered in cream?â, so to be on the safe side you politely say ânoâ. The tea you hope you have ordered actually does arrive! You now even feel confident enough to ask for the bill and, like a native, to round up the price stated (= 2,60) to the nearest whole euro. You give the waitress a ten euro note and get seven euros change. You finish your tea, saying goodbye as you leave.
KELLNERIN:2 Guten Tag!
SIE:3 Guten Tag!
KELLNERIN: Bitte schön?
SIE: Tee, bitte.4
KELLNERIN: Mit5 Zitrone?
SIE: Nein, mit Milch, bitte.
KELLNERIN: Ja. Möchten Sie sonst noch etwas?6
SIE: Nein, danke.
KELLNERIN: Bitte7 schön! Tee mit Milch.
SIE: Danke schon! Ich möchte bitte zahlen.8
KELLNERIN: Zwei Euro sechzig,9 bitte.
SIE: Drei Euro. [you hand over a ten-euro note]
KELLNERIN: Danke sehr! Und sieben Euro zurĂŒck.10
SIE: Danke schön!11
SIE: Auf Wiedersehen!
KELLNERIN: Auf Wiedersehen!
A full English version of Text 1A is provided in the Translations section at the back of the book, but itâs best to do Ăbung 1A before you go there.
Notes
1 âMonday morningâ, literally: âpre-middayâ
2the -in ending of this word is the equivalent of â-essâ in âwaitressâ. âWaiterâ = Kellner
3 âYouâ
4 here Bitte! means âpleaseâ. Immediately above, Bitte? is essentially an invitation for you to speak
5 âwithâ
6 âwould you like anything else?â
7 yet another use of Bitte! It is also used, as here, when giving something to someone
8 âI would like to payâ
9 ⏠2,60
10 literally: âbackâ, i.e. âchange, in returnâ
11 schön and sehr are completely interchangeable (and optional) with Danke and Bitte

The symbol is a TASK symbol. Whenever you reach it, do something!

The symbol is the KEY symbol. Whenever it follows the task symbol it means that our answers to the exercise are printed in the Key to exercises section at the back of the book.
Numbers and prices
A firm grasp of numbers in German is one of the most useful things to take with you on a first visit to a German-speaking country. Itâs helpful to be able to say numbers, but particularly to understand them â and to understand them when spoken quickly under adverse acoustic conditions: in banks, shops, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, museums, art galleries, swimming pools, railway, bus and petrol stations, at airports, on the phone, etc.
The normal way to write a sum of money in euros, using figures, is ⏠1,60 or 1,60 âŹ. The way to say this ...
