Danach sollten wir uns München angucken. Caroline: Klingt gut. Weißt du, ob es hier im Hotel noch Frühstück gibt? Martin: Normalerweise gibt es in Hotels bis 10 Uhr Frühstück, aber dieses Hotel bietet anscheinend kein Frühstück an. Wir können in der Stadt ein Café finden und dort frühstücken. Caroline: Okay, das geht auch. Martin: Sollen wir heute Abend weiter nach Heidelberg fahren? Caroline: Hmm, ich möchte mehr Zeit in München haben, aber Heidelberg ist auch interessant, und Paris... Martin: Ich denke nicht, dass es sich lohnt, nach Paris zu fahren. Man braucht Zeit, um Paris zu sehen. Caroline: Wirklich?

Do you know if they still serve breakfast at this hotel? Martin: Normally hotels serve breakfast until 10am, but this hotel doesn't seem to offer any. We can find a café in the city and have breakfast there. Caroline: Okay, that works, too. Martin: Should we drive on to Heidelberg tonight? Caroline: Hmm, I'd like to have more time in Munich, but Heidelberg is also interesting, and Paris... Martin: I don't think it's worthwhile to go to Paris. You need time to see Paris. Caroline: Really? But... but how can one travel to Europe and not see Paris! --------------------------- Learn German with GermanPod101!

Joe: Hallo Anke, hier ist Joe. Anke: Hallo Joe. Du rufst nicht von deiner normalen Nummer aus an? Joe: Nein, ich benutze mein Ersatzhandy. Anke: Bist du nicht gerade auf der Konferenz? Joe: Doch. Aber ich hätte gern deine Meinung zu etwas... Anke: Ja? Joe: Ich habe gerade meine Mails gecheckt und da war eine Nachricht von meinem Telefonanbieter, dass ich mein Guthaben verbraucht habe und wieder aufladen muss. Anke: Ja und? Joe: Ich habe gestern früh mein iPhone verloren und die Mail ist von heute Mittag. Es ist möglich, dass sie die Mail einfach sehr spät verschickt haben... Anke: Joe, diese Mails gehen wahrscheinlich automatisch raus. Ich denke, dass jemand dein Handy hat und seit gestern auf deine Kosten telefoniert. Deshalb hast du heute die Nachricht gekriegt. Joe: Du meinst, jemand hat es geklaut? Anke: Na ja, entweder er hat es geklaut, oder er hat es gefunden und dir nicht zurückgegeben. Es kommt auf das Gleiche hinaus. Joe: Sch... ! Was mache ich jetzt? Anke: Also ich würde zur Polizei gehen, und ihnen den Diebstahl melden. Wenn du willst, komme ich mit. Joe: Mensch, Anke, das wäre super nett von dir! Anke: Im Moment ist die Innenstadt voll, also werde ich nicht mit dem Auto fahren. Treffen wir uns an der Straßenbahnhaltestelle vor dem Konferenzgebäude? In einer halben Stunde? Joe: Ja, geht klar. Vielen Dank! Anke: Kein Problem. ----Formal English---- Anke: Anke Löwen. Joe: Hello Anke, this is Joe. Anke: Hello Joe. You're not calling me from your normal number? Joe: No, I'm using my spare phone. Anke: Aren't you at the conference right now? Joe: That's right, I am. But I'd like your opinion on something... Anke: Yes? Joe: I just checked my email and there was a message from my phone service provider saying that I used up my credit and I have to refill it. Anke: Yes, and? Joe: I lost my iPhone yesterday morning and the message is from noon today. It's possible that they just sent the message really late... Anke: Joe, these emails are probably sent out automatically. I think that someone has your phone and has been calling on your dime since yesterday. That's why you got the message today. Joe: You think someone stole it? Anke: Well, either he stole it, or he found it and didn't give it back. It's the same result either way. Joe: Sh...! What do I do now? Anke: Well I would go to the police and report the theft to them. If you want, I'll come with you. Joe: Man, Anke, that would be really nice of you! Anke: At the moment, the inner city is full, so I won't take the car. Shall we meet at the tram stop in front of the conference building? In a half hour? Joe: Yes, alright. Thanks a lot! Anke: No problem. --------------------------- Learn German with GermanPod101! Don't forget to stop by GermanPod101.com for more great German Language Learning Resources!
