Complain about pain, congratulate, and spur someone on & possessive pronouns in the accusative and dative: meinem/-r/-n, deinem/-r/-n.
During a break while playing paintball, Meili, Anna, Tim, and Paul chat. Paul excitedly shares his first freelance gig. The blog about Fritz has gained traction, with fans speculating wildly about his alleged connections to the underworld - this is what Grandpa couldn't believe earlier. Paul is amazed by the blog's popularity. They discuss plans to see a movie later. Inspired by Tim's kitesurfing video, Paul thinks that Fritz might be surfing on an island. However, he lacks the initiative to find out which island it might be because he says he was busy with Grandpa, the apps and the blog. So Tim pushes him to try harder. Grandpa writes and also puts pressure on him. He reveals he has discovered a way to find the correct address of the hiding place of the painting. And for that he urgently needs the book! Is Fritz really on an island? On which one? Can Paul normalize his relationship with Grandpa or will Grandpa put on more pressure and let everything get out of hand? Why did Fritz draw suspicion on Anna earlier by saying she has a criminal record for theft? Why didn't he tell anyone but Meili about his new girlfriend? Why was he constantly on the phone during their trip to Berlin? When does he come back and why did he keep quiet about his vacation?

Write a story, ask questions, explain a reason & dative verbs: antworten, danken, sagen, fehlen, gefallen, gehören, glauben, helfen, passen.
Paul is at home, creating online profiles for freelancer apps. Heâs been writing his new blog for 2 days. Grandpa calls him and explains that he never found the painting because the address of the hiding place that was written in the book was no longer correct after the war. Also, everything looked different due to the reconstruction of Germany. He then glued the page back into the book, which was not valuable at that time. You can't find the painting with the address in the book, but today it's very valuable to Grandpa because it was the last present from his father before he died. Grandpa risked East German prison for this book. And it's vaulable because it turns out that it is the only remaining original edition of this book today. When he became forgetful, he and Paul's father gave it to Paul to be on the safe side since Paul loves books. But they were bitterly disappointed when it got lost. Paul calms him down and reminds him that they had never told him about all this. He sends him a link to his new blog to which Grandpa had encouraged him. Grandpa reads some comments and can't believe what is written there. What is it that is so incredible in the comments? Why did Fritz keep quiet about the fact that he caught the GroĂkauf thieves? And why didnât he tell anybody about his promotion? Why did he always want to party, even though Paul was desperate about the loss of the book? How did he want to help when he got angy because he went to Paul's appartment, but Paul wasn't there?

Explain hardships of the past & personal pronouns in the dative: euch, ihnen / Ihnen.
Paul boosts Grandpa's spirits with coffee and updates him on his search for the book. But because he gets many rejections for his job applications, he feels hopeless. Grandpa empathizes with him and suggests that he should start writing, even without a formal writing job. So Paul decides to work on freelancer websites and to create a blog featuring the story about Fritz. Grandpa finally reveals the story behind the book: it holds the secret to a forbidden painting that belonged to his father during the war. To safe it from being burned by the Nazis, Grandpa's father wrote his name on the back and hid it at a friend's house. Then he wrote the address of the hiding place in the book. Unfortunately, both Grandpa's father and his friend died in the war. After the war, the painting was no longer forbidden and Grandpa wanted to find it. But there was the GDR and now the book with the address of the hiding place was forbidden. So he didn't want to carry it around and ripped the page with the address out of the book. Then he went off in search of the painting. What happened on Grandpa's search for the painting? Why is the book so important even though the page with the address of the hiding place is missing?

Paul is bowling with his parents and talks about his career plans. His lie that he knew what job he wanted all along goes undetected.

Tim offers to ask a friend about the best surfing spots there. Paul is surprised because the first answer he gets on his applications is a rejection. Will Tim's friend be able to provide a lead on Fritz?

Learning German with training wheelsThe characters in our story DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves. Why?They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls do.

Paul discovers for himself that he wants to be an author. So today he plans to write 20 applications and tell his mother about it.

The best way to learn German: Don't beat yourself up with too many new wordsWhen writing a learning story it's easy to get carried away by an idea for a dialog. But that can result in an episode having way too many new words. That would be demotivating for you, the learner.Therefore we counted every word and went through endless writing and re-writing sessions for every episode to make sure that didn't happen to our story.

Career planning, interest-based words & question word: welch-.
Paul thinks about which job he wants and finds help in the job book he got from Anna. It was her present for Pauls birthday which she had angrily slammed on the table at the buffet in Berlin. He wants to do "something with writing, texts and words". He starts enthusiastically, but quickly gives up because he thinks you can't make any money with that. Then he writes Laura. She briefly answers that she wonât have time for him in the near future. Paul wants to wait until she writes again. Is Paul too aimless? Or why does Laura have no more time for him?

Talk about social problem areas and career choices, tip the waitress & subordinate clause with accusative (der Mann, den ich sehe).
Paul is out with Laura when she tells him that Fritz always dreamed of owning a holiday home by the beach, maybe on the North Sea or Baltic Sea. Laura asks about Paul's job. Since he's jobless, he lies, saying he's a librarian but looking for something new. Laura is disappointed because Paul doesn't have a clear job goal. So now Paul really wants to find a job. He puts the big puzzle together: Fritz must be at a beachside holiday home with a garage and garden. And Paulâs missing book is surely also there. It turns out, by capturing the GroĂkauf thieves, Fritz got a promotion, money, and a vacation. Can Paul finally change his aimlessness? And where exactly is this holiday home?

Paul sets up the date with Laura. Grandpa is still going on about former times. He starts talking about books that were banned in the GDR, former East Germany. That's when he remembers THE book. Paul lies again: he says the book is at home. He had lied to his mother about his job choice before, and now he feels that he got caught up in a web of lies with no way out. Will he find a way out of his web of lies, or end up offending mom and grandpa?

Everyone thinks that the sticker on Fritz's garage door opener is in the shape of a lake. Therefore, Paul looks for it on the internet. But he cannot find such a lake in all of Germany. He thinks there is little hope because Fritz is certainly abroad. Laura writes: She saw Paul's Oktoberfest photos on Whatsapp and she also wants to go there with him. Grandpa talks about his time in the GDR. At first, Paul is fascinated by the GDR, but then he hears about the Stasi. He can barely prevent Grandpa from remembering the book. Will Grandpa remember asking him about the book, or is Paul lucky?

Learn German with Stories - the idea behind itWe felt that the best way to learn German is NOT using the old style teaching material with chapters full of tiny texts and unrelated stories. Our idea was to spoon-feed you German in very small bits. And to tell you parts of one big story at the same time. An awesome, full-blown story with different storylines that continues throughout all lessons. We wanted to keep you motivated and say "I can't wait to find out what happens next episode!"

Paul's mom feels guilty because he got fired and so she transferred ⏠500 to his account. He pretends to know what kind of job he wants and says he'll tell her next time. So he is spared from having to tell his friends that they have to pay themselves, even though he said âitâs my treatâ. He meets them at the Oktoberfest. It turns out that Fritz had a girlfriend the whole time. On the trip to Berlin he has always been on the phone and he also mentioned a garden. But Fritz's apartment doesnât have a garden! Paul shows the garage door opener with the broken sticker to his friends. Tim says it might not be broken. The form of the sticker could represent a lake. Grandpa calls and Paul promises to visit him tomorrow. And he wonders if Laura was just being polite on their date because she hasn't answered him yet. Will grandpa want to see the book tomorrow? Is Laura ghosting him again? Will his parents find out he lied because he doesn't actually know what job he wants? What garden was Fritz talking about? Does the symbol on the garage door opener represent a lake?

Paul writes his mother that he wants to borrow 500 ⏠from her.

Paul's parents are in the dance club. They talk to their friend, the head of the university and ask him to help Meili. He says he might be able to help her. Meanwhile, Paul texts Laura: He writes he doesn't like Fritz either. But then he playfully bypasses her inquiries about this topic by getting a date with her.

Give commands and instructions & imperative with du: sei / iss / sag / antworte / öffne / fahr / geh.
Paul writes Anna to ask her for some clothing store recommendations and learns about Meili's problems. Then he visits his parents for coffee and cake. Now they are very friendly to him because they have a guilty conscience: Paul has lost his job which is partly their fault. And Laura writes him that she is Fritz's ex-girlfriend. Paul thinks that's good because then she'll have information about him. But she surely thinks that Paul has a problem with it. So his plan to get a date with her is at risk. He needs to find a way to say he doesn't like Fritz anymore without getting into talking about problems a lot - it's far too early for that. Paulâs father brags about his important friends, including the head of the university. Thatâs when he gets an idea how his parents can help him, and they are very interested to hear about it. How can his parents help? What should he write back to Laura?

Joke about a singing performance, talk about TV and university & dative and prepositions: zu der Frau / zum GlĂŒck / von der Hose / vom Mann.
Anna and Meili are watching a talent show. Anna needs to break it to Meili that she missed a deadline at the university. She obviously had no clue and is devastated. It means that she can no longer take courses and she won't get a visa anymore. Maybe she has to pack up and go back to China without finishing her studies. Paul's message from the last episode arrives at the worst possible moment. Will Meili have to leave Germany because of visa problems?

Analyze your social circle, express solutions for problems & dative and prepositions: mit dem Garagenöffner / nach dem FuĂballspiel and n-declension in the dative.
Anna and Tim aren't mad at Paul anymore. But Meili still is. And Fritz is gone. Paul has to get Meili to forgive him. Only then can he invite all of his friends to the Oktoberfest, restore the old friendship and help Tim go on a date with her. Paul is unemployed, and he doesn't have good clothes for a job interview. So he asks Meili about clothing shops. Laura has been acting very strange, but she could have information about Fritz. She is the only source thatâs left now. He has to ask her, but not in the chat. He needs to do it casually on a date. Grandpa could remember the book at any time. Paul has to date Laura immediately to find the book quickly. Laura writes that there is something she needs to tell him. Meili answers that she can't help because she has âother worriesâ. What is it that Laura needs to tell Paul? What worries does Meili have? How can he get a date with Laura quickly?

Talk about football (soccer), make arrangements & dative and prepositions: aus der Ecke / bei dem Foul.
Paul and Tim were at a football (soccer) game - Paul had invited him and paid for the tickets. As a thank you, Tim calls Fritz's landlord and pretends to be Fritz: He wants to get him to arrange for the garage door to be repaired, so that Paul can sniff around inside. But it turns out that the door and the opener are both new and cannot be broken at all. That means, Fritz has another garage and the opener must be for that garage. Tim is interested in Meili. He asks if Paul could arrange a meeting. Paul pretends that this is not a problem - but in reality it is because she is still mad at him. He reads Laura's many response messages: She writes to him because it was not okay of her to have ghosted him like that. Paul agrees with her. How can Paul arrange a meeting with Meili? Where are Fritz, the book and the garage?

Internet related words & dative with plural and indefinite articles: einem Mann / keiner Frau.
Paul is sitting in bed with his laptop, researching surf spots in Germany. Unfortunately, there are far too many of them. He needs more information before he can go on with his search. He finds Laura's e-mail in the spam folder: She saw him yesterday and thinks he has a wife and a child. Thatâs because he helped his neighbor carry her shopping bags. Paul stays calm and gives her his Whatsapp number. She explains that she deleted her profile because the Finder app is stupid. And she actually wanted to get in touch with him by e-mail. But then she saw on Facebook that he is a friend of Fritz's. She says Fritz is boring and probably only has boring friends (Paul). Then she annoys him even more by bombarding him with messages. Paul doesn't feel like answering any more. But an idea occurs to him regarding the problem with Fritz's landlord and garage door repairs. What is Paul's idea?
