Unit 08 · Getting around

Buy a ticket: say your destination and ask the departure time and price.

Getting around is pure exam territory: Goethe (Start Deutsch 1) Hören plays you station and supermarket announcements, Lesen Teil 3 shows you signs and notices, and Sprechen Teil 3 asks you to make polite requests — ÖSD tests the same scenes.

Unit 8 builds all of it:

  • the transport words with mit dem and mit der
  • the nach / zu / in destination patterns
  • the three cases studied here — Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ — in one table
  • ticket buying and Durchsagen at the station
  • the Sie-imperative for polite requests
  • asking the way with links, rechts, geradeaus
  • reading signs: Eingang, Ausgang, verboten

The final lesson sends you into the listening simulator and the speaking simulator.
