ANECDOTE

Paul Chooses A Weekly Ticket

  • Paul wants to buy a monthly ticket but doesn’t have enough money.
  • He then asks prices of day and weekly tickets before deciding on a weekly ticket.
ADVICE

Say Numbers Only for Prices

  • When stating fixed sums of money in German, say the number only, not "euros."
  • This is a common practice for expressing amounts like ticket prices.
ADVICE

Start With "Ich" Verb Forms

  • Focus on learning the conjugation of verbs with "ich" first in German.
  • This helps build a strong foundation before mastering other verb forms.
