Talk about football (soccer), make arrangements & dative and prepositions: aus der Ecke / bei dem Foul. Paul and Tim were at a football (soccer) game - Paul had invited him and paid for the tickets. As a thank you, Tim calls Fritz's landlord and pretends to be Fritz: He wants to get him to arrange for the garage door to be repaired, so that Paul can sniff around inside. But it turns out that the door and the opener are both new and cannot be broken at all. That means, Fritz has another garage and the opener must be for that garage. Tim is interested in Meili. He asks if Paul could arrange a meeting. Paul pretends that this is not a problem - but in reality it is because she is still mad at him. He reads Laura's many response messages: She writes to him because it was not okay of her to have ghosted him like that. Paul agrees with her. How can Paul arrange a meeting with Meili? Where are Fritz, the book and the garage?

Internet related words & dative with plural and indefinite articles: einem Mann / keiner Frau. Paul is sitting in bed with his laptop, researching surf spots in Germany. Unfortunately, there are far too many of them. He needs more information before he can go on with his search. He finds Laura's e-mail in the spam folder: She saw him yesterday and thinks he has a wife and a child. That’s because he helped his neighbor carry her shopping bags. Paul stays calm and gives her his Whatsapp number. She explains that she deleted her profile because the Finder app is stupid. And she actually wanted to get in touch with him by e-mail. But then she saw on Facebook that he is a friend of Fritz's. She says Fritz is boring and probably only has boring friends (Paul). Then she annoys him even more by bombarding him with messages. Paul doesn't feel like answering any more. But an idea occurs to him regarding the problem with Fritz's landlord and garage door repairs. What is Paul's idea?

Address related words for sending letters & the dative case (dem, der, dem). Paul is near his apartment and opens Fritz's letter. It's two weeks old and it has the cell phone number of Fritz's landlord. Paul wants to call him and have the garage door repaired in Fritz's name. That way, he'll be able to open it afterwards, and sniff around inside. His problem: He doesn't sound like Fritz. He meets his neighbor and helps her carry her shopping bags. On his cell phone, he receives a push notification for an e-mail that his former online date Laura wrote to him. He can only read "You idiot!" on the home screen. Of course, he wants to know more, but he can't find the actual e-mail in the app. Where is Laura's e-mail? What is the reason for her long silence? Why is she, too, now saying that Paul is an idiot? How can he arrange the garage door repairs, so that he can sniff around inside?

Tell a story, talk about an accident & perfect tense with separable and reflexive verbs. Anna has to empty her basement by herself. Her landlord puts pressure on her, but doesn't help. She drops a box because her shoulder hurts again. That's when Paul arrives. She reluctantly accepts his help. He gives her painkillers, and together they retell their bike accident story where she injured her shoulder. Later, she even shares an idea with him: He should go to Fritz's apartment and sniff around there. Previously, Paul hadn’t been sure why he should go there since Fritz is not even there. But now he gets enthusiastic about the idea pretty quickly. What will Paul be able to find out at Fritz's apartment? Transcript, lesson and extras: german-stories.com/52-hast-du-dich-verletzt-perfect-separable-reflexive-verbs 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!"

Describe your situation in the past & perfect tense: wir sind gewesen / gelandet. Paul is still with Grandpa while Meili is sending a link from Fritz's Facebook page. Fritz was promoted because he caught the Großkauf thieves. That must be the reason why he is now the new head of the theft department. Anna writes that she has to empty her basement. She has a deadline, but a friend who wanted to help her just didn't show up. Even though nobody else can step in she still refuses Paul's help. Grandpa talks about „landing“ his plane in a forest and being a prisoner of war. Paul remembers Anna's shoulder is injured. She cannot carry anything. Grandpa advises him to quickly go help Anna. So he fortunately doesn’t remember to ask Paul about the book. Where are Fritz and the book? Why did he keep his promotion a secret? What will Anna say when Paul comes to help even though she refused?

Talk about former times and history & perfect tense: er hat gesehen / vergessen. Paul visits Grandpa. And he asks his friends in the group chat about Fritz. But he kept everything as a secret. So they don't know anything. And they are still angry at Paul. It seems it’s Fritz who has the book. Paul cannot confess to Grandpa that it’s gone because he is the last person Paul still has. Grandpa almost remembers the book, but Paul distracts him by asking him about the past: As a child, Grandpa thought playing war was great, but later not so much, because he only survived the real war by luck. Paul is also looking for Fritz's vacation posts on Facebook. With the help of the group, he finds out that Fritz blocked everyone from seeing them - except for Meili. A colleague wrote Fritz has just been promoted. Paul’s friends begin to understand his side a bit better now and he tries to get Meili to find out more. Grandpa almost remembered the book. Can Paul prevent that? Will Meili find out more about Fritz?

Ask for information about people, talk about smartphones & perfect tense: er hat erzählt / gesagt. Paul wants to visit Fritz at the police station and report the theft, but he is not there. He is the new head of the theft department and is currently on vacation. That seems to be something that Fritz has been hiding. Does he have the book? If so, then he would become aware of the report. Therefore, Paul doesn't file charges. He gets a message from his mom: His dad is addicted to mobile phone games, and he now only has an old Nokia phone. He can’t be blamed that Paul lost his job because he can no longer receive WhatsApp messages. Apparently she has given him a smartphone ban. So that's what she was trying to tell him on the phone in Berlin when she said Father has problems. Paul is desperate. Fritz is the new head of the theft department? Why? For what reason does he keep that as a secret? And he is on vacation now? Where? For how long? Why is he so mysterious?

Restructure the workforce & separable verbs & sentence structure. Paul is getting fired. He wasn’t aware that he didn’t report his illness to his boss. Instead, he accidentally sent the message to his dad - who didn't warn him of his mistake. So he was absent without notice. He clears his desk and calls Grandpa who says there is something Paul doesn't know yet about the book. He should bring it with him tomorrow. That way Grandpa can explain it. Paul is not sure if he should really confess that he lost the book. He hopes that Grandpa will forget this by tomorrow. Why didn't Paul’s Father warn him? What does Grandpa want to tell him about the book? Will he confess that he lost it?
