Words of module 1: Arrival
Reviews practise both sides: wherever Lukas and Lena would say something differently, you do it once as each.
In this module you learned to
- greet an older neighbour politely and say my name
- say hello to a child, ask her name, get my key back and ask where something is
- introduce myself in a café, choose coffee or tea, and say if I like something
- knock on a neighbour's door, say that I want to sleep, and ask someone to do something tomorrow
- ask how someone is, and ask where people live
