Unit 02 · Numbers, time & appointments
Ask the price of two things and state an appointment time.
Numbers, times and dates run all through the A1 listening exams: Goethe (Start Deutsch 1) Hören plays you prices, train times and phone messages, and ÖSD does the same.
Unit 2 makes them automatic:
- the numbers 20 to a million, with the famous ones-first rule (einundzwanzig)
- prices in Euro and Cent
- the clock both ways: 14:30 Uhr and halb drei
- days, months and dates with am, um and im
- making a doctor’s appointment
- reading opening hours on any shop door
The final lesson sends you into the listening simulator.
