Sam Taylor lands in Berlin, and his first German conversation is at passport control. In Day 1 you hear the whole Chapter 1 story and shadow it out loud: every new word comes slowly, then at normal speed, then it's your turn in the gap.You'll practise:Hallo vs. Guten Tag: the casual and the polite helloIhren Pass, bitte (your passport, please) and Ja, das steht hierIch heiße Sam: saying your nameWoher kommen Sie? Ich komme aus Sambia: saying where you're from (and why the German S in Sambia sounds like a Z)Willkommen in Deutschland and Danke schön (plus the ö sound)Meeting Lena at arrivals: Bist du Sam? Herzlich willkommen in Berlin! Komm, der Zug wartet nicht!Then you play Sam in a short role play with Lena and finish with a quick spoken quiz. Bonus: a Bemba greeting from Sam's home, Mulishani mukwayi.
