[01:39.760]Scenes from the Coffee Break German Cafe, lesson eight.
[01:52.800]Hallo und herzlich willkommen zurück.
[01:55.600]Mein Name ist Thomas.
[01:56.720]Und mein Name ist Mark.
[01:58.360]Wie geht's dir Thomas?
[01:59.680]Sehr, sehr gut.
[02:00.920]Die Tage werden länger.
[02:02.440]Das wird schöner und wärmer und ich gehe jedes Wochenende ein Eis essen.
[02:08.400]Excellent.
[02:08.960]And where do you go to get your ice cream?
[02:10.960]Would it be a cafe perhaps?
[02:12.600]Ja, Erna's Cafe perhaps.
[02:15.840]Das wäre schön.
[02:16.880]I actually don't know if Erna sells.
[02:18.320]Oh, no, they sell ice, ice cafe, so they must also sell ice cream.
[02:22.840]Would quite like to visit Erna's Cafe at some point.
[02:24.800]Absolutely.
[02:25.400]We're here with the eighth episode, the eighth chapter of our story, scenes from
[02:29.920]the Coffee Break German Cafe.
[02:31.360]And can you remind us, Thomas, what happened in scene seven of our story?
[02:36.080]Yes, we met a new character and quite an interesting character.
[02:39.400]It was Charlotte, who lives directly above the cafe and seems to know
[02:44.920]absolutely everything about who's coming, who's going and what's happening around.
[02:51.000]And she was also planning to start a book club, which our narrator was
[02:54.600]thinking about joining.
[02:55.800]Absolutely.
[02:56.520]So as usual, we're going to listen to the new chapter.
[02:58.880]We'll then talk about all of the interesting language and give a line
[03:02.000]by line translation, and then we'll listen again.
[03:05.120]By that time, you'll understand absolutely everything.
[03:07.920]So, los geht's.
[03:09.240]Fangen wir an.
[03:09.840]Scenes from the Coffee Break German Cafe, Kapitel acht.
[03:29.680]Meine Spätschicht neigt sich dem Ende zu.
[03:33.600]Erna ist heute etwas früher gegangen.
[03:36.920]Doch mit Felix' Hilfe war der heutige Andrang leicht zu handhaben.
[03:43.160]Ich habe ihm schon vor einer halben Stunde angeboten, nach Hause zu gehen, um
[03:48.040]sich auszuruhen oder noch lernen zu können.
[03:52.920]Aber er hat darauf bestanden, noch die Vorräte aufzufüllen und die
[03:59.200]Kaffeemaschine zu reparieren.
[04:01.480]Ich habe in der Zwischenzeit aufgewischt und die letzte Ladung Geschirr aus der
[04:07.320]Spülmaschine ausgeräumt.
[04:09.880]Also bleibt nichts mehr zu tun, als abzuschließen.
[04:15.200]Felix scheint aber bei Weitem nicht so begeistert von der Idee, endlich
[04:19.720]Feierabend machen zu können.
[04:23.480]Ihn scheint etwas zu bedrücken.
[04:25.560]Als ich ihn frage, ob er denn nicht heimgehen will, gesteht er, dass er seinen
[04:31.640]Eltern seit einigen Tagen aus dem Weg geht.
[04:37.040]Ich frage ihn besorgt, ob es denn Probleme zu Hause gibt und ob ich ihm
[04:42.560]irgendwie helfen kann.
[04:46.000]Er bedankt sich lächelnd und schüttelt den Kopf.
[04:49.400]Das Problem liegt viel eher bei ihm.
[04:54.440]Nach etwas Zögern gibt er zu, dass er sein Studium abgebrochen hat.
[05:01.080]Er traut sich nicht, es seinen Eltern zu sagen, weil er nicht will, dass sie
[05:05.240]enttäuscht sind.
[05:08.440]Ich kann seine Sorgen verstehen, denn als Einzelkind ist dieser Druck
[05:14.000]oft noch größer, ob real oder nur eingebildet.
[05:19.480]Er meint, dass seine Eltern ihn immer in seinem Studium unterstützt haben.
[05:25.400]Doch seit Anfang des Studiums merkt er immer mehr, wie wenig Bauingenieurwesen
[05:31.440]eigentlich zu ihm passt.
[05:35.120]Schließlich rate ich ihm dasselbe, was er sich in seinem Studium
[05:40.600]schließlich rate ich ihm dasselbe, was auch Erna empfehlen würde, und zwar,
[05:47.880]dass er mit ihnen reden soll.
[05:51.320]Denn es zu verheimlichen macht das Ganze nur viel schlimmer.
[05:56.520]Und früher oder später müssen sie es ja sowieso erfahren.
[06:10.600]Aha, wieder ein ganz emotionaler Episode, und wir sehen einen Charakter,
[06:15.600]den wir hier schon kennen, Felix, und wir finden etwas mehr davon.
[06:19.600]Ich denke, es ist immer schön, wenn man ein bisschen mehr
[06:22.680]Hintergrund hat über die Leute, die entweder zum Kaffee kommen oder
[06:25.600]in diesem Fall zum Kaffee arbeiten, wie hier Felix und seine Träume.
[06:29.600]Ja, also, wir finden uns mehr im Detail an diesen Träumen von Felix.
[06:40.600]Right, so Spätschicht, that is a Leadschicht.
[06:45.600]Okay, now it's one of these great compound nouns just putting two words together,
[06:49.600]the Leadschicht.
[06:50.600]So meine Spätschicht neigt sich dem Ende zu.
[06:54.600]So zu neigen, I'm guessing there is a separable verb.
[06:59.600]Sehr gut, ja.
[07:00.600]And what does that mean?
[07:02.600]So we saw it actually in the text before when the mother neigt sich
[07:07.600]über den Tisch, she was leaning over the table.
[07:10.600]But this table has quite a different meaning,
[07:12.600]sich dem Ende zu neigen means to come to an end,
[07:15.600]so it's leaning towards the end, it's coming to an end.
[07:18.600]So my Leadschicht is coming to an end.
[07:20.600]Genau.
[07:21.600]Erna ist heute etwas früher gegangen, doch mit Felix' Hilfe
[07:27.600]war der heutige Andrang leicht zu handhaben.
[07:31.600]Okay, so Erna ist heute etwas früher gegangen.
[07:35.600]She went off a little earlier today.
[07:39.600]Ja, perfekt.
[07:40.600]Doch mit Felix' Hilfe, but with Felix' help,
[07:47.600]der heutige Andrang leicht zu handhaben.
[07:54.600]So the something of today, the Andrang, the crowd.
[08:00.600]Yes, kind of like the rush, so like the people come in and wanting something,
[08:04.600]so I think like rush is probably the best word here.
[08:07.600]Okay, but today's rush, leicht zu handhaben, help me here.
[08:13.600]Handhaben, it has the word hand in it,
[08:17.600]so it's similar to English, it's handle.
[08:20.600]Ah, right, I was thinking something about having hands,
[08:23.600]but I see now.
[08:25.600]We have hands, ja, handhaben.
[08:27.600]So basically Felix is there,
[08:33.600]so today's rush was easy to handle because he was around.
[08:37.600]Exactly, perfekt.
[08:38.600]And Felix is the person who comes and helps out from time to time.
[08:42.600]Genau, die Aushilfe.
[08:44.600]Ich habe ihm schon vor einer halben Stunde angeboten,
[08:49.600]nach Hause zu gehen, um sich auszuruhen oder noch lernen zu können.
[08:55.600]Okay, we'll pause there, it's a long sentence,
[08:57.600]but that's the first half of the sentence.
[08:59.600]Ich habe ihm schon vor einer halben Stunde angeboten,
[09:04.600]so I offered him, I already offered him half an hour ago
[09:12.600]to go, well the next part is nach Hause zu gehen,
[09:16.600]to go home, um sich auszuruhen, to rest himself.
[09:24.600]Ja.
[09:25.600]Oder noch lernen zu können.
[09:27.600]Um, or to study.
[09:30.600]So sieh dir zu können,
[09:32.600]is that applying both to the auszuruhen and the lernen?
[09:37.600]Or is it just the lernen?
[09:39.600]That's just the lernen.
[09:40.600]Okay, so we've got,
[09:43.600]I offered him the chance half an hour ago to go home,
[09:46.600]to rest or to be able to study a little more.
[09:51.600]Genau, perfekt.
[09:52.600]And it's quite interesting because we have lots of these
[09:54.600]zu clauses in here.
[09:55.600]And also I think this is the first chapter
[09:57.600]where we see the perfect tense used quite a lot
[10:00.600]because most of the texts have been in the present.
[10:02.600]But here you've done it really well.
[10:04.600]We have to haben and then jump to the back
[10:06.600]to see the angeboten, which comes from anbieten.
[10:09.600]So I have offered or I offered.
[10:12.600]And just to double check, nach Hause zu gehen,
[10:15.600]we've got zu in there.
[10:17.600]Then we've got um sich auszuruhen.
[10:20.600]We've got another zu, but there it's within the verb.
[10:23.600]And then we've got lernen zu können,
[10:26.600]another zu that is out with the verb.
[10:28.600]So what's going on?
[10:30.600]So first we have the difference of zu gehen without um,
[10:35.600]because we're asking what did she offer him?
[10:37.600]So it's always the question what.
[10:39.600]She offered him to go home.
[10:41.600]And our verb is gehen.
[10:42.600]And the zu just is in front of our verb,
[10:44.600]but the verb is in the infinitive.
[10:46.600]Next we have the um,
[10:48.600]because we're asking why would he go home?
[10:51.600]In order to rest.
[10:54.600]But this time it's a separable verb, ausruhen.
[10:57.600]And our zu becomes part of that by going between the prefix
[11:01.600]and the rest of the verb.
[11:03.600]So it's normally ausruhen,
[11:04.600]but then in the infinitive clause it's auszuruhen.
[11:08.600]Then next we have an infinitive clause,
[11:10.600]but starting with um,
[11:11.600]because we're asking why in order to do what?
[11:15.600]Why should he go home?
[11:16.600]To rest, in order to rest.
[11:18.600]But it's a separable verb this time,
[11:20.600]because it's ausruhen.
[11:22.600]And if we have a separable verb,
[11:23.600]the zu needs to go between the prefix and the rest of the verb.
[11:27.600]Auszuruhen, one word.
[11:28.600]And then we add something else,
[11:30.600]but that's still part of the um infinitive clause,
[11:33.600]because it's either to rest or to learn.
[11:36.600]And this time we have two verbs,
[11:38.600]because we're using a modal verb as well.
[11:40.600]We have lernen können.
[11:41.600]So we first have our lernen,
[11:43.600]then we have our zu,
[11:45.600]and then we have our verb
[11:46.600]that needs to be in the infinitive here as well,
[11:48.600]because of the zu clause.
[11:50.600]Okay, right, that's clear.
[11:52.600]So just to check if we took the sich auszuruhen out there,
[11:57.600]we could have said
[11:59.600]Ich habe ihm schon vor eine halbe Stunde angeboten,
[12:03.600]nach Hause zu gehen, um lernen zu können.
[12:07.600]Genau, um noch lernen zu können.
[12:09.600]So it's just a list of things.
[12:11.600]Right, so I already offered him the chance half an hour ago
[12:15.600]to go home, to rest or to study a bit more.
[12:19.600]But...
[12:20.600]Aber er hat darauf bestanden,
[12:23.600]noch die Vorräte aufzufüllen
[12:25.600]und die Kaffeemaschine zu reparieren.
[12:29.600]Right, so yeah.
[12:32.600]Aber er hat darauf bestanden,
[12:35.600]so bestanden must come from
[12:37.600]bestehen?
[12:39.600]Bestehen, sehr gut, ja.
[12:41.600]So what's bestehen?
[12:43.600]I don't know that part.
[12:45.600]You might have seen it in a different context before.
[12:47.600]Eine Prüfung bestehen is to pass an exam,
[12:51.600]but if you use bestehen with auf,
[12:53.600]then you are insisting on something.
[12:56.600]Right.
[12:57.600]So er hat darauf,
[12:59.600]and darauf is just our placeholder,
[13:01.600]and we'll find out what he's insisting on later.
[13:03.600]But he insisted,
[13:05.600]noch die Vorräte aufzufüllen.
[13:08.600]Vorräte?
[13:09.600]The supplies.
[13:11.600]Right, so it's to restock supplies.
[13:13.600]Genau.
[13:14.600]Und die Kaffeemaschine zu reparieren.
[13:17.600]And to repair the coffee machine.
[13:19.600]Perfekt.
[13:20.600]And again, auffüllen is a separable verb,
[13:22.600]so the zu disappears in between there,
[13:24.600]and then reparieren is not,
[13:26.600]so we just place it in front of it.
[13:28.600]That makes sense.
[13:30.600]Ich habe in der Zwischenzeit aufgewischt
[13:34.600]und die letzte Ladung Geschirr
[13:36.600]aus der Spülmaschine ausgeräumt.
[13:38.600]Also bleibt nichts mehr zu tun, als abzuschließen.
[13:43.600]Okay, so ich habe in der Zwischenzeit,
[13:46.600]so in the meantime,
[13:48.600]ich habe aufgewischt,
[13:51.600]aufwischen, so wischen to,
[13:54.600]is that to mop?
[13:55.600]Ja, genau.
[13:56.600]So just wischen can be to mop,
[13:58.600]and kind of to aufwischen is to mop up.
[14:00.600]To mop up, yeah.
[14:01.600]So I mopped up in the meantime,
[14:04.600]und die letzte Ladung Geschirr
[14:07.600]aus der Spülmaschine ausgeräumt.
[14:11.600]So hang on,
[14:14.600]the Spülmaschine is the dishwasher.
[14:16.600]Sehr gut.
[14:17.600]So the last,
[14:21.600]or did I unload the last load of dishes
[14:26.600]from the dishwasher?
[14:27.600]You did.
[14:28.600]So die letzte Ladung Geschirr,
[14:32.600]so the Ladung is the load,
[14:34.600]and the Geschirr are the dishes.
[14:36.600]Genau.
[14:37.600]And then from where?
[14:38.600]Aus der Spülmaschine.
[14:39.600]Aus der Spülmaschine.
[14:40.600]And then ausgeräumt ist agenda,
[14:42.600]past participle,
[14:44.600]and we don't repeat the ich habe,
[14:46.600]because it's still the same subject
[14:48.600]and we're still in the same tense.
[14:49.600]Okay.
[14:50.600]Und also bleibt nichts mehr zu tun,
[14:53.600]and so there's nothing left to do,
[14:55.600]als abzuschließen,
[14:58.600]but to close up.
[15:00.600]Genau.
[15:01.600]And this time, which I think is quite interesting,
[15:03.600]we don't see a comma in front of our zu tun,
[15:06.600]because in almost all other sentences so far,
[15:09.600]we always had something, something, comma,
[15:11.600]and then our infinitive clause.
[15:13.600]But here, because it's only the two words,
[15:15.600]and it's almost like we're using bleiben
[15:17.600]as a kind of modal verb,
[15:19.600]then we don't need to separate our zu clause.
[15:22.600]So you see that a lot with,
[15:23.600]if you use haben, sein,
[15:25.600]also things like scheinen,
[15:27.600]or also sometimes bleiben,
[15:28.600]that you don't need to separate the zu clause.
[15:31.600]Okay, let's continue on.
[15:33.600]Felix scheint aber bei weitem nicht so begeistert
[15:38.600]von der Idee,
[15:39.600]endlich Feierabend machen zu können.
[15:42.600]Alright, so begeistert
[15:46.600]is a word we've seen many times
[15:48.600]that is exciting, enthusiastic.
[15:50.600]Ja, genau.
[15:51.600]So Felix scheint aber bei weitem nicht so begeistert.
[15:56.600]So he seems to be a long way from enthusiasm.
[16:03.600]He seems far from enthusiastic.
[16:05.600]Yeah, about the idea.
[16:08.600]Yeah, about the idea,
[16:09.600]endlich Feierabend machen zu können.
[16:14.600]Feierabend is like getting a night off.
[16:19.600]No, Feierabend is the end of your working day.
[16:23.600]So when it's Feierabend,
[16:25.600]then you're finished working.
[16:26.600]Okay, so he seems far from enthusiastic
[16:30.600]about the idea of finishing work then.
[16:33.600]Yes.
[16:34.600]Endlich, finally.
[16:35.600]Genau.
[16:36.600]Okay.
[16:37.600]Okay, so something seems to be wrong.
[16:39.600]Ihm scheint etwas zu bedrücken.
[16:42.600]So ihn scheint.
[16:45.600]So ihn is like to him.
[16:47.600]Ja.
[16:48.600]Seems scheint.
[16:51.600]Ja.
[16:52.600]And now if you look at the etwas,
[16:56.600]I think that gives you a clue.
[16:57.600]Right.
[16:58.600]Okay, so etwas is the subject.
[17:00.600]Genau.
[17:01.600]So something seems to be bedrücken,
[17:07.600]is like pushing down.
[17:10.600]Pushing down, you're too bothered in this case.
[17:12.600]Right, so something seems to be bothering him.
[17:14.600]Genau.
[17:15.600]But it's just odd
[17:16.600]because we're starting with the object hier ihn.
[17:18.600]And then once you know the subject, it's easier.
[17:20.600]And again, it's another of these examples
[17:22.600]where we don't have a comma before the zu bedrücken.
[17:25.600]And it's because we're using scheinen,
[17:27.600]which is one of these verbs
[17:28.600]that you don't need to separate the zu clause.
[17:31.600]Okay.
[17:32.600]Als ich ihn frage, ob er denn nicht heimgehen will,
[17:37.600]gesteht er, dass er seinen Eltern
[17:40.600]seit einigen Tagen aus dem Weg geht.
[17:44.600]Right.
[17:45.600]So als ich ihn frage, when I ask him,
[17:48.600]ob er denn nicht heimgehen will,
[17:52.600]if he doesn't want to go home,
[17:56.600]what's the denn doing there?
[17:58.600]I always find these a little bit tricky to translate.
[18:01.600]But I think the best way to think about this,
[18:03.600]we actually don't use indirect speech.
[18:05.600]But if you use direct speech,
[18:06.600]I would ask him or she would ask him,
[18:08.600]warum gehst du denn nicht heim?
[18:10.600]And kind of try to say,
[18:11.600]so why isn't it that you're going home?
[18:13.600]What's the reason?
[18:14.600]Right.
[18:15.600]So in English, the so carries that.
[18:17.600]Yes, exactly.
[18:18.600]So why is it that you're not going home?
[18:20.600]You've established that you don't want to go home.
[18:22.600]Why is it that you're not going home?
[18:23.600]But in English, we couldn't really put that
[18:25.600]into the reported speech.
[18:26.600]We couldn't say, when I asked him,
[18:29.600]so why is it?
[18:30.600]Okay, I know the meaning.
[18:32.600]So I'm guessing the denn is basically doing that.
[18:34.600]It's the so, but it disappears
[18:36.600]in English in reported speech.
[18:37.600]Okay, that makes sense.
[18:39.600]So als ich ihn frage, ob er denn nicht heimgehen will,
[18:42.600]so when I ask him why is he doesn't want to go home,
[18:45.600]gesteht er, to confess?
[18:50.600]Yes, to confess or to admit.
[18:53.600]So he admits, dass er seinen Eltern
[18:56.600]seit einigen Tagen aus dem Weg geht.
[19:00.600]So that for a few days,
[19:03.600]he has been going out of the way of his parents.
[19:07.600]He's been avoiding.
[19:09.600]Yes, a very good literal translation,
[19:11.600]going out of the way of his parents.
[19:13.600]He's avoiding him.
[19:14.600]He's avoiding them.
[19:15.600]He's avoiding his parents, okay.
[19:17.600]Okay, so I wonder why it is
[19:19.600]he's been avoiding his parents.
[19:21.600]We will find that out after the break.
[19:44.600]Thank you very much.

[20:52.600]Hi, guys, it's Hannah from Giggly Squad.
[20:55.600]With summer on the corner,
[20:56.600]I wanted to tell you guys
[20:57.600]how I'm staying comfy and stylish.
[21:00.600]Lululemon is my secret weapon.
[21:02.600]There are plenty of copycats out there,
[21:04.600]but nothing compares to the Lululemon fabrics and fit.
[21:07.600]I've literally had my pair of Lululemon leggings
[21:09.600]since college, and I'm out of college.
[21:12.600]I know I don't look it, but I am.
[21:13.600]The quality is next level.
[21:15.600]I especially love the Lululemon Align collection.
[21:18.600]It's made with this weightless, buttery soft Nulu fabric
[21:22.600]that feels like next to nothing.
[21:24.600]It's so soft.
[21:25.600]Whether you're in Align pants, shorts, a bra, tank, skirt, a dress,
[21:29.600]you get nonstop flexibility in every direction
[21:32.600]so you can stretch the summer limits.
[21:35.600]Align even wicks sweat.
[21:36.600]And as a sweaty girl, I love this.
[21:38.600]You know it's going to be my best friend
[21:40.600]when I play tennis this summer.
[21:41.600]Shop the Align collection online at lululemon.com
[21:45.600]or your nearest Lululemon store.
[21:59.600]Okay, let's find out what Felix's problem is.
[22:02.600]Okay.
[22:03.600]Ich frage ihn besorgt, ob es denn Probleme zu Hause gibt.
[22:07.600]Und ob ich ihm irgendwie helfen kann.
[22:10.600]Right.
[22:11.600]So, ich frage ihn besorgt.
[22:13.600]I asked him worriedly.
[22:16.600]Ja.
[22:17.600]Ob es denn Probleme zu Hause gibt.
[22:20.600]If they're ...
[22:22.600]Is that them doing the same purpose there?
[22:26.600]It's just in all these reported speech sentences.
[22:30.600]Yeah.
[22:31.600]So again here, if he said,
[22:33.600]so are the problems at home?
[22:35.600]Exactly.
[22:36.600]Okay.
[22:37.600]So it's the reported speech of so,
[22:39.600]but it disappears in English.
[22:41.600]So, I ask him worriedly
[22:43.600]if there are problems at home.
[22:46.600]Ob es denn Probleme zu Hause gibt.
[22:49.600]Und ob ich ihm irgendwie helfen kann.
[22:52.600]And if I can help him in some way.
[22:56.600]Ja, genau, perfekt.
[22:58.600]Er bedankt sich lächelnd und schüttelt den Kopf.
[23:02.600]Das Problem liegt viel eher bei ihm.
[23:07.600]Okay, so er bedankt sich lächelnd.
[23:10.600]He thanks me with a smile.
[23:13.600]Sich bedanken is reflexive,
[23:15.600]even though it's not thanking oneself.
[23:18.600]Und schüttelt den Kopf.
[23:20.600]And he shakes his head.
[23:23.600]Das Problem liegt viel eher bei ihm.
[23:28.600]So the problem is,
[23:31.600]will lie with him.
[23:34.600]Yes.
[23:35.600]But what is the viel eher?
[23:37.600]Rather or more with him.
[23:39.600]So it's not his parents that are the problems.
[23:41.600]It's rather that the problem lies with him,
[23:43.600]like he is the cause of those,
[23:45.600]the reason why he doesn't want to go home.
[23:48.600]Okay.
[23:49.600]Nach etwas Zögern gibt er zu,
[23:53.600]dass er sein Studium abgebrochen hat.
[23:57.600]Right.
[23:58.600]Okay, here's the ...
[23:59.600]Da liegt der Hund begraben,
[24:01.600]we would say in German.
[24:02.600]Okay, there lies the ...
[24:04.600]That's where the dog is buried.
[24:07.600]Okay.
[24:10.600]So nach etwas Zögern,
[24:12.600]was Zögern, that's new to me.
[24:14.600]Hesitation.
[24:15.600]Right.
[24:16.600]So after a little hesitation,
[24:18.600]gibt er zu, das zugeben, to admit.
[24:21.600]Yes, exactly.
[24:22.600]Wir sagen es so.
[24:24.600]So gesteht er,
[24:25.600]which is very similar,
[24:26.600]so gestehen, entzugeben,
[24:28.600]are similar in the meaning.
[24:29.600]Dass er sein Studium abgebrochen hat.
[24:32.600]That he has broken his course of study,
[24:36.600]he's dropped out of university, I'm guessing.
[24:38.600]Exactly.
[24:39.600]Ja, abbrechen tut keiner.
[24:40.600]To stop, to cancel.
[24:43.600]Er traut sich nicht, es seinen Eltern zu sagen,
[24:47.600]weil er nicht will, dass sie enttäuscht sind.
[24:51.600]Right.
[24:52.600]Er traut sich nicht,
[24:54.600]das ist sich trauen, I think.
[24:56.600]Ja, sehr gut.
[24:57.600]And therefore I think it's to dare to do something.
[25:01.600]Ja, genau,
[25:02.600]to be brave enough to do something,
[25:04.600]to dare to do something.
[25:05.600]So he doesn't dare,
[25:07.600]es seinen Eltern zu sagen,
[25:09.600]say it to his parents,
[25:10.600]he doesn't dare tell his parents,
[25:12.600]weil er nicht will,
[25:14.600]because he doesn't want,
[25:15.600]dass sie enttäuscht sind.
[25:18.600]That they be disappointed.
[25:21.600]Disappointed, genau, enttäuscht
[25:23.600]oder die Enttäuschung ist the disappointment.
[25:26.600]Which I can understand.
[25:28.600]Ich kann seine Sorge verstehen,
[25:31.600]denn als Einzelkind ist dieser Druck
[25:34.600]oft noch größer,
[25:36.600]ob real oder nur eingebildet.
[25:39.600]Okay, so ich kann seine Sorge verstehen.
[25:42.600]I can understand his worry.
[25:45.600]Genau.
[25:46.600]Denn als Einzelkind,
[25:49.600]ist dieser Druck oft noch größer.
[25:52.600]Because as an only child,
[25:55.600]ist dieser Druck oft noch größer.
[25:58.600]As an only child, this pressure?
[26:02.600]Yes, and I think she refers to
[26:04.600]what the children do with their lives
[26:06.600]and if they study or if they pursue a career
[26:09.600]or this pressure of what it's going,
[26:11.600]what are they making out of their life.
[26:13.600]And it's often noch größer,
[26:15.600]it's often even bigger.
[26:17.600]That's just an only child.
[26:19.600]Ob real oder nur eingebildet.
[26:22.600]Is that like saying whether it's real
[26:24.600]or just like made up in your head?
[26:27.600]Genau, imagined.
[26:28.600]Imagined, okay.
[26:29.600]Genau, perfekt.
[26:30.600]Er meint, dass seine Eltern ihn immer
[26:34.600]in seinem Studium unterstützt haben.
[26:37.600]Doch seit Anfang des Studiums
[26:40.600]merkt er immer mehr,
[26:42.600]wie wenig Bauingenieurwesen
[26:45.600]eigentlich zu ihm passt.
[26:48.600]Oh, right, okay.
[26:50.600]So er meint, dass seine Eltern ihn
[26:53.600]immer in seinem Studium unterstützt haben.
[26:56.600]So he says,
[26:59.600]that kind of way of reporting,
[27:01.600]dass seine Eltern, that his parents
[27:04.600]have always supported him in his studies.
[27:07.600]Genau, perfekt.
[27:08.600]And it's the same with all these
[27:10.600]reported speech again because it's das.
[27:12.600]We always need to jump to the end here
[27:15.600]Doch seit Anfang des Studiums
[27:19.600]but since the beginning of his course
[27:24.600]merkt er immer mehr,
[27:27.600]so he, although it's in the present tense there,
[27:33.600]he has been noticing always more.
[27:36.600]Exactly, it's the difference in English
[27:38.600]when you use sight
[27:39.600]or since you use the perfect tense,
[27:41.600]but in German you normally use
[27:42.600]the present tense.
[27:44.600]Wie wenig Bauingenieurwesen
[27:48.600]eigentlich zu ihm passt.
[27:52.600]So he's been noticing more and more
[27:54.600]how little building engineering
[27:59.600]something.
[28:00.600]I think it's like civil engineering.
[28:01.600]Civil engineering, okay.
[28:03.600]How little civil engineering
[28:05.600]really suits him.
[28:08.600]Yes, exactly so.
[28:09.600]We've seen passen sometimes
[28:11.600]passt dir die Jacke,
[28:12.600]dass der Jacket fit,
[28:13.600]but passen zu
[28:15.600]is like suit somebody.
[28:18.600]So es passt nicht zu dir,
[28:19.600]it doesn't fit with you,
[28:21.600]it doesn't suit you.
[28:23.600]Schließlich rate ich ihm dasselbe,
[28:27.600]was auch Erna empfehlen würde,
[28:30.600]und zwar, dass er mit ihnen reden soll.
[28:33.600]Und zwar, I always like und zwar.
[28:36.600]So schließlich is finally,
[28:39.600]rate ich ihm dasselbe.
[28:42.600]We've seen ratlos before
[28:46.600]in other chapters.
[28:48.600]I advise, yeah.
[28:51.600]So finally I advise him
[28:54.600]the same thing,
[28:56.600]was auch Erna empfehlen würde,
[28:58.600]that Erna would give,
[29:00.600]I give him the same advice
[29:01.600]that Erna would give,
[29:02.600]dass er mit ihnen reden soll,
[29:04.600]that he should talk to them.
[29:06.600]Genau.
[29:07.600]That is to say or something like that.
[29:13.600]Specifically that is to say.
[29:15.600]That is her advice,
[29:16.600]dass er mit ihnen reden soll.
[29:18.600]Seems good advice.
[29:19.600]Indeed.
[29:20.600]Denn es zu verheimlichen
[29:22.600]macht das Ganze nur viel schlimmer.
[29:26.600]Und früher oder später
[29:28.600]müssen sie es ja sowieso erfahren.
[29:33.600]Okay.
[29:34.600]Denn es zu verheimlichen.
[29:39.600]I've seen that before,
[29:40.600]but I can't remember what it is.
[29:42.600]Heimlich is like secret.
[29:44.600]So verheimlichen is to
[29:46.600]keep something a secret.
[29:48.600]Okay.
[29:49.600]So because keeping it a secret
[29:54.600]macht das Ganze nur viel schlimmer,
[29:57.600]makes the whole thing even worse.
[30:01.600]Yeah, or just worse.
[30:03.600]Und früher oder später,
[30:05.600]and sooner or later
[30:07.600]müssen sie es ja sowieso erfahren.
[30:13.600]Erfahren is like kind of finding out.
[30:16.600]Ja, es ist wie merken,
[30:18.600]erfahren, to notice, to find out.
[30:21.600]Oh, right.
[30:23.600]So sooner or later,
[30:24.600]they'll find out anyway.
[30:25.600]Exactly.
[30:26.600]If he doesn't graduate
[30:27.600]or if he,
[30:28.600]that will be obvious at some point.
[30:30.600]At some point.
[30:31.600]Genau.
[30:32.600]That is Felix's pedal.
[30:34.600]And there are quite a number of Zs in there.
[30:36.600]I'm going to try and count the number of Zs
[30:38.600]as we listen one more time to the text.
[30:45.600]Scenes from the Coffee Break German Café, Kapitel 8.
[30:51.600]Meine Spätschicht neigt sich dem Ende zu.
[30:55.600]Anna ist heute etwas früher gegangen.
[30:58.600]Doch mit Felix's Hilfe
[31:00.600]war der heutige Andrang leicht zu handhaben.
[31:04.600]Ich habe ihm schon vor einer halben Stunde
[31:07.600]angeboten, nach Hause zu gehen,
[31:09.600]um sich auszuruhen
[31:11.600]oder noch lernen zu können.
[31:14.600]Aber er hat darauf bestanden,
[31:17.600]noch die Vorräte aufzufüllen
[31:20.600]und die Kaffeemaschine zu reparieren.
[31:24.600]Ich habe in der Zwischenzeit aufgewischt
[31:27.600]und die letzte Ladung Geschirr
[31:29.600]aus der Spülmaschine ausgeräumt.
[31:32.600]Also bleibt nichts mehr zu tun,
[31:34.600]als abzuschließen.
[31:37.600]Felix scheint aber bei Weitem
[31:39.600]nicht so begeistert von der Idee,
[31:41.600]endlich Feierabend machen zu können.
[31:45.600]Ihnen scheint etwas zu bedrücken.
[31:49.600]Als ich ihn frage,
[31:51.600]ob er denn nicht heimgehen will,
[31:54.600]gesteht er, dass er seinen Eltern
[31:57.600]seit einigen Tagen aus dem Weg geht.
[32:01.600]Ich frage ihn besorgt,
[32:03.600]ob es denn Probleme zu Hause gibt
[32:06.600]und ob ich ihm irgendwie helfen kann.
[32:10.600]Er bedankt sich lächelnd
[32:12.600]und schüttelt den Kopf.
[32:15.600]Das Problem liegt viel eher bei ihm.
[32:20.600]Nach etwas Zögern gibt er zu,
[32:23.600]dass er sein Studium abgebrochen hat.
[32:27.600]Er traut sich nicht,
[32:28.600]es seinen Eltern zu sagen,
[32:30.600]weil er nicht will,
[32:31.600]dass sie enttäuscht sind.
[32:34.600]Ich kann seine Sorgen verstehen,
[32:37.600]denn als Einzelkind
[32:39.600]ist dieser Druck oft noch größer,
[32:42.600]ob real oder nur eingebildet.
[32:46.600]Er meint, dass seine Eltern
[32:48.600]ihn immer in seinem Studium unterstützt haben.
[32:52.600]Doch seit Anfang des Studiums
[32:54.600]merkt er immer mehr,
[32:56.600]wie wenig Bauingenieurwesen
[32:58.600]eigentlich zu ihm passt.
[33:02.600]Schließlich rate ich ihm dasselbe,
[33:05.600]was auch Erner empfehlen würde,
[33:08.600]und zwar, dass er mit ihnen reden soll.
[33:12.600]Denn es zu verheimlichen
[33:14.600]macht das Ganze nur viel schlimmer.
[33:17.600]Und früher oder später
[33:19.600]müssen sie es ja sowieso erfahren.
[33:33.600]Also, das reicht für heute.
[33:35.600]Und ich kann feststellen,
[33:36.600]dass es eigentlich
[33:38.600]ich denke, 18 Züge drin sind,
[33:41.600]z.B. die, die in der Mitte
[33:43.600]eines Verbes passieren.
[33:46.600]Ich muss zugeben,
[33:47.600]dass ich das nicht zähle.
[33:48.600]Ich habe es dir gerade verlinkt.
[33:49.600]Aber ja, es ist ein wirklich guter Text,
[33:51.600]zu sehen,
[33:52.600]Infinitiv-Klausen mit Um,
[33:53.600]ohne Um,
[33:54.600]ohne Komma,
[33:55.600]ohne Komma.
[33:56.600]Ich denke,
[33:57.600]wir haben alles gesehen,
[33:58.600]was man sehen kann,
[33:59.600]wenn man ein Infinitiv-Klaus mit Zu benutzen kann.
[34:00.600]Exzellent.

[35:45.600]Lululemon ist
[35:46.600]my secret weapon.
[35:47.600]There are plenty
[35:48.600]of copycats out there,
[35:49.600]but nothing compares
[35:50.600]to the Lululemon fabrics
[35:51.600]and fit.
[35:52.600]I've literally had my pair
[35:53.600]of Lululemon leggings
[35:54.600]since college,
[35:55.600]and I'm out of college.
[35:57.600]I know I don't look it,
[35:58.600]but I am.
[35:59.600]The quality is next level.
[36:00.600]I especially love
[36:01.600]the Lululemon Align Collection.
[36:03.600]It's made with this
[36:04.600]weightless, buttery,
[36:05.600]soft Nulu fabric
[36:07.600]that feels like
[36:08.600]next to nothing.
[36:09.600]It's so soft.
[36:10.600]Whether you're in Align pants,
[36:12.600]shorts, a bra,
[36:13.600]tank, skirt,
[36:14.600]a dress,
[36:15.600]you get non-stop flexibility
[36:17.600]in every direction
[36:18.600]so you can stretch
[36:19.600]the summer limits.
[36:20.600]Align even wicks sweat.
[36:22.600]And as a sweaty girl,
[36:23.600]I love this.
[36:24.600]You know it's gonna be
[36:25.600]my best friend
[36:26.600]when I play tennis this summer.
[36:27.600]Shop the Align Collection online
[36:29.600]at lululemon.com
[36:30.600]or your nearest
[36:31.600]Lululemon store.
