Unit 05 · Shopping
Buy an item of clothing: ask about the size and price.
Shopping is everywhere in the A1 exam: Hören plays market and shop dialogs full of prices, Goethe Lesen Teil 2 makes you match situations to ads, and ÖSD Lesen Aufgabe 1 works the same way.
Unit 5 gives you:
- the shops and what you buy where
- quantities like ein Kilo Tomaten
- the price questions Wie viel kostet …? / Was kosten …?
- clothes with colors
- the fixed phrases gefällt mir and passt gut
- the checkout with bar oder mit Karte
- reading small ads, the Anzeigen
The final lesson sends you into the reading simulator for the real matching task.
