8:00 Yes, exactly.

8:01 She's turning 25.

8:03 What does she like?

8:05 She likes simple and beautiful things.

8:07 Then maybe a scented candle?

8:14 Look here, we have lavender, vanilla, or orange.

8:18 Hmm, the vanilla smells very good.

8:21 Would you like to smell it?

8:23 Yes, please.

8:24 Oh, I like that.

8:26 Great.

8:26 It costs twelve dollars.

8:29 Okay, I'll take it.

8:32 Maybe a small bracelet?

8:34 This one is silver and very simple.

8:37 That looks nice.

8:38 How much is it?

8:39 Twenty dollars.

8:40 Okay, I'll take that too.

8:47 Are you paying with card or cash?

8:53 Alright, you're all set.

8:55 Here is your receipt and the gift.

8:58 Thank you for your help.

8:59 You're very welcome.

9:01 Happy birthday to your sister!

9:03 Thanks, I hope she likes it.

9:05 I'm sure she will.

9:06 Have a nice day.

9:07 Thanks, you too.

9:09 Goodbye.

9:13 Hello, excuse me.

9:15 Hi, can I help you?

9:18 Yes, please.

9:19 Which bus goes to the park?

9:22 Do you mean Central Park?

9:24 Yes, exactly.

9:26 Then you're in the right place.

9:28 You need bus number twelve.

9:29 It goes directly to the park.

9:32 Does it come often?

9:33 About every 15 minutes.

9:36 Do you know when the next one is?

9:38 In about 5 minutes.

9:40 Perfect, I don't like to wait long.

9:43 Me neither.

9:44 Are you on vacation here?

9:46 No, I live here.

9:47 Welcome to our city!

9:49 The park is really beautiful.

9:50 Thanks.

9:51 Is there a lake there?

9:53 Yes, a small lake with ducks.

9:56 Oh, I really like ducks.

9:58 Does bus twelve stop right at the entrance?

10:02 Yes, right at the main entrance.

10:05 Very good.

10:06 You can buy a ticket on the bus, but you need exact change.

10:10 Good, I have some coins.

10:12 Then you're all set.

10:14 Oh, here comes the bus now.

10:16 Yes, I see it.

10:17 Thanks again.

10:18 You're welcome.

10:19 Have fun in the park.

10:24 Good afternoon.

10:24 Can I help you?

10:26 Hello.

10:27 Yes, I would like to exchange some money, please.

10:31 Of course.

10:34 I have Euros and I need US Dollars, please.

10:38 How much would you like to exchange?

10:41 200 Euros.

10:43 Alright.

10:43 You will get about 210 dollars today, after the fee.

10:50 Yes, a five-dollar fee.

10:52 That's okay.

10:53 Here are the Euros.

10:55 Thank you, let me count.

10:58 Yes, 200 Euros.

11:00 Correct.

11:00 Perfect.

11:10 You're welcome.

11:11 Would you like a receipt?

11:13 Yes, please.

11:14 Here is your receipt.

11:15 Is this your first time in the United States?

11:19 Yes, I just arrived in New York.

11:21 Welcome.

11:22 Are you staying long?

11:23 For one week.

11:25 Nice.

11:25 Do you have any plans for today?

11:28 Yes, I'm going to Times Square later.

11:30 Very good idea.

11:31 Have fun there.

11:33 Thanks for everything.

11:34 You are very friendly.

11:35 My pleasure.

11:36 Enjoy your stay in New York.

11:41 Good morning.

11:42 Would you like some breakfast?

11:44 Good morning.

11:45 Yes, but I have a quick question.

11:48 Of course, please ask.

11:50 I have a milk allergy.

11:52 Do you have anything without milk?

11:54 Ah, thank you for telling me.

11:57 No problem, I can help you.

11:59 Thank you.

12:00 I have to be careful.

12:02 So, no butter, no cheese, and no yogurt, right?

12:06 Exactly, nothing with cow's milk.

12:09 Okay, we have bread, jam, and fresh fruit.

12:14 Is there milk in the bread?

12:16 No, the whole wheat bread is milk-free.

12:19 Perfect.

12:20 And the jam?

12:21 Just fruit and sugar, so no problem there.

12:25 Great.

12:25 Do you also have any plant-based milk?

12:29 Yes, we have almond milk.

12:30 Would you like to try some?

12:32 Yes, please.

12:33 That would be great for my tea.

12:35 Coming right up!

12:37 Thank you, that's very nice of you.

12:39 Of course.

12:40 We want all our guests to feel comfortable.

12:43 Are you staying for a few more days?

12:46 Yes, for three more nights.

12:48 Good, then I will tell the kitchen for tomorrow.

12:51 Maybe they can make something special.

12:53 Thank you, that's really thoughtful.

12:56 No problem.

12:56 Here is the almond milk.

12:58 Thank you.

12:59 Can I sit by the window?

13:01 Of course, you have a beautiful view of the garden there.

13:05 I'll have the bread, fruit, and tea then.

13:08 Excellent choice.

13:09 Enjoy your breakfast!

13:11 Thanks, you have a nice day too.

13:13 Thanks, see you tomorrow.

13:17 Hello, are you finished?

13:20 Yes, thank you, it was delicious.

13:23 Can I have the check, please?

13:25 Of course, that will be twelve dollars.

13:29 I'll pay with a card.

13:31 Sure, please insert your card here.

13:34 It's not working.

13:36 That's strange.

13:37 Please try one more time.

13:40 Okay.

13:41 No, still not working.

13:44 Maybe there's a problem with the machine.

13:47 I hope it's not my card.

13:50 Do you have any cash?

13:52 Unfortunately, only five dollars.

13:54 Is there an ATM near here?

13:57 Yes, right around the corner, a two-minute walk.

14:01 Great, thank you.

14:02 I'll go get some cash quickly.

14:04 I'll be right back.

14:06 Of course, no problem.

14:08 I'll wait here.

14:09 (A few minutes later) Okay, now I have cash.

14:13 Perfect, twelve dollars, please.

14:16 Here you are.

14:17 Thank you very much, and sorry about the machine.

14:21 No problem, these things happen.

14:24 Did you enjoy your meal?

14:26 Yes, very much.

14:28 Especially the chocolate cake.

14:30 Ah, that's our specialty.

14:32 Then I'll definitely be back.

14:35 We'd love that.

14:36 Have a nice day.

14:38 Thanks, you too.

14:40 Goodbye.

14:44 Excuse me, is this seat taken?

14:48 No, please, sit down.

14:50 Thanks.

14:51 Do you need help with your suitcase?

14:54 No, thank you, I've got it.

14:56 It's not too heavy.

14:57 Are you also going to Washington D.C.?

15:01 Yes, exactly.

15:02 And you?

15:03 Me too.

15:04 It's a long ride.

15:06 Yes, almost three hours.

15:09 Do you travel by train often?

15:12 Not very often.

15:13 I usually drive a car.

15:15 I see.

15:16 I don't have a car.

15:18 Then the train is better.

15:20 Yes, and you can see the view.

15:23 Are you going on vacation?

15:25 Yes, I'm visiting friends.

15:27 And you?

15:28 I'm going to see my family.

15:30 Nice.

15:31 Do you have a reserved seat?

15:33 Yes, seat 14.

15:35 But someone was already sitting there.

15:38 Oh no.

15:39 And he was sleeping?

15:41 Yes, fast asleep.

15:43 Haha, typical on a train.

15:45 But it's nice here too.

15:47 Yes, it is.

15:48 It's nice to chat a little.

15:50 What are you reading?

15:51 A mystery novel.

15:53 I like exciting stories.

15:55 Me too.

15:56 Do you have a book with you?

15:57 Yes, but I haven't started it yet.

16:00 Now is a good time.

16:02 True, I'll try it now.

16:04 Okay.

16:04 Well, have a good trip.

16:06 You too.

16:07 And enjoy your book.

16:09 Airplane seat mix-up.

16:11 Excuse me.

16:12 I think you are in my seat.

16:16 Oh?

16:17 I don't think so.

16:19 My ticket is for the window.

16:22 Seat 16B.

16:23 Wait.

16:24 My ticket says 16A, and 16A is the window seat.

16:31 That’s strange.

16:32 I always thought 'B' was the window seat...

16:36 No, 'A' is always the window.

16:39 'B' is the middle seat.

16:42 'C' is the aisle.

16:44 Oh my goodness.

16:45 You are right.

16:47 My ticket does say 16B.

16:49 And 16B is the middle seat.

16:53 I am so sorry!

16:54 I wanted the window, so I just assumed this seat was 'B'.

16:58 I made a mistake.

17:00 No problem!

17:01 It is an easy mistake.

17:03 I will move right now.

17:05 Thank you.

17:06 Well, I guess you have the "Best View" today!

17:10 Thank you.

17:10 Have a good flight.

17:12 A taxi takes a different route.

17:15 Good morning.

17:16 Good morning.

17:18 Where are we going?

17:20 To the Lake Hotel, please.

17:22 On Lake Street.

17:23 All right, here we go.

17:25 Excuse me, this street doesn’t go to the lake?

17:29 No, I am taking another route.

17:32 There is less traffic.

17:34 I thought Main Street was faster.

17:37 Not today.

17:39 There is construction on Main Street.

17:42 Is this way longer?

17:44 A little longer, but it is much faster.

17:49 Okay.

17:49 I don’t want to pay too much more.

17:52 Don’t worry.

17:53 It is only a small difference.

17:56 How long will it take?

17:58 About 15 minutes.

18:00 Good.

18:01 I trust you.

18:02 Thank you.

18:03 I know this city very well.

18:06 Do you drive a taxi for a long time?

18:09 Yes, for twelve years.

18:12 Then you know all the streets.

18:15 Exactly.

18:16 And I also know good restaurants.

18:20 Oh, interesting.

18:21 I recommend the "Harbor Restaurant." Very good fish.

18:26 Great, I love fish.

18:29 And the vegetables there are delicious, too.

18:33 Perfect.

18:33 I will try it.

18:35 Look, there is the lake.

18:37 Are we almost there?

18:39 Yes, three more streets.

18:42 Your route was much better.

18:44 See?

18:44 No traffic.

18:46 Thanks for the ride.

18:48 That is $9 dollars, please.

18:50 Here is $10.

18:51 Keep the change.

18:52 Thank you very much.

18:54 Very nice.

18:55 Have a good day.

18:57 Thanks, you too.

18:58 Goodbye.

18:59 Wrong change at the cash register.

19:02 Hello.

19:03 Hello.

19:04 Are you paying with cash?

19:06 Yes, here is $20 dollars.

19:09 Thank you.

19:10 The total is $12.50.

19:13 Here is your change, $5.50.

19:17 Excuse me, I think that is not correct.

19:20 Really?

19:21 Yes, that should be correct.

19:23 No, I gave you a $20 bill.

19:26 Yes, and the price is $12.50.

19:30 Then the change should be $7.50.

19:34 Are you sure?

19:35 Yes, look.

19:37 $20 minus $12.50.

19:40 Okay, let me look in the cash register.

19:43 Please.

19:43 I counted it carefully.

19:45 You are right.

19:46 I am missing $2.00.

19:48 Thank you.

19:49 It was just a small mistake.

19:51 I am sorry.

19:52 With so many coins, it happens sometimes.

19:55 It’s okay, but you have to be careful.

19:58 Of course.

19:59 Thank you for telling me.

20:00 Can I get a bag?

20:02 Yes, it costs 10 cents.

20:04 Here you go.

20:05 Okay, so here is $7.40 back.

20:07 (Note: $7.50 correct change- 10 cents for the bag).

20:09 Perfect.

20:10 Now everything is correct.

20:12 Are you from here, or are you visiting?

20:15 I am visiting, from Austin.

20:17 Ah, Austin.

20:18 A very nice city.

20:20 Yes, but I like Chicago very much, too.

20:23 Then have fun here in the city.

20:25 Thank you.

20:26 And thanks for checking the money.

20:28 No problem.

20:29 Thank you for your patience.

20:30 Have a nice day.

20:32 Thank you, you too.

20:34 Goodbye.

20:34 Hotel booking not found.

20:37 Good evening.

20:38 Good evening.

20:40 Welcome to the Lake View Hotel.

20:42 Do you have a reservation?

20:45 Yes, for today.

20:46 Under the name Thomas Meier.

20:49 One moment.

20:50 I cannot find your name in the system.

20:54 Are you sure?

20:55 I booked it online two weeks ago.

20:57 Yes, I looked, but nothing is here.

21:01 I have the confirmation email right here on my phone.

21:04 May I see it?

21:05 Of course.

21:06 Look.

21:07 Today's date, a double room, for three nights.

21:10 Yes, but I do not see a reservation number.

21:14 Yes, it is at the bottom of the email.

21:17 Ah, yes.

21:18 You are right.

21:19 Let me search again.

21:21 Thank you.

21:22 Hmm.

21:23 Still nothing.

21:24 This must be an error from the website.

21:28 So, what do we do now?

21:30 We can give you an available room for the same price.

21:34 Is it also a double room?

21:36 Yes, a double room with a view of the lake.

21:40 Perfect!

21:40 That is what I booked.

21:42 The price is $80 dollars per night.

21:45 Yes, that is the same price as my reservation.

21:48 Very good.

21:49 I will keep that rate.

21:51 For the apology, I will also give you free breakfast.

21:55 Thank you very much, that is very nice.

21:58 Would you also like access to the spa?

22:01 Is that included?

22:02 No, that costs $10 dollars per day.

22:06 Then no, thank you.

22:07 Here is the key for room 305.

22:10 What floor is that?

22:12 On the third floor, at the end of the hallway.

22:15 Very good.

22:16 If you need anything, please call the front desk.

22:20 Okay.

22:20 Thank you for your help.

22:21 Of course.

22:22 Thank you for your patience.

22:24 Have a nice evening.

22:26 Welcome to the hotel.

22:28 You too.

22:29 Error in the restaurant check.

22:32 Excuse me, please.

22:34 Yes, Ma'am.

22:35 Did you enjoy your meal?

22:37 Yes, it was very good, thank you.

22:39 But I think the check is wrong.

22:42 Oh.

22:43 Let me look.

22:44 It says two Schnitzels here.

22:46 But I only had one Schnitzel.

22:49 Ah yes, that is wrong.

22:51 It was charged twice.

22:53 And here it says two coffees.

22:56 I only drank one.

22:57 You are right.

22:58 I will correct this right away.

23:00 How much is the correct total?

23:03 One moment.

23:04 Schnitzel $12, coffee $2.

23:07 So, $14 dollars less, right?

23:10 Yes, exactly.

23:12 So the new total is $25 dollars?

23:16 Yes, $25 is correct.

23:18 Super.

23:19 That looks right.

23:20 My apologies for the mistake.

23:22 We are very busy today.

23:24 No problem.

23:24 It can happen.

23:26 I am happy you liked the food.

23:28 Yes.

23:28 The Schnitzel was delicious.

23:30 Does it always come with lemon?

23:32 Yes, usually.

23:33 Only if the guest does not want it.

23:36 I like lemon.

23:37 It is very fresh.

23:38 I am glad.

23:39 Would you like a dessert?

23:41 No, thank you.

23:42 Just the correct check.

23:44 Here is the new check.

23:46 $25 dollars.

23:46 I will pay with a credit card, please.

23:49 Insert the card here.

23:50 Perfect, the payment is complete.

23:53 Thanks for fixing the check.

23:54 Of course.

23:55 I will come back again.

23:57 We are happy to hear that.

23:59 Welcome to Miami.

24:00 Thank you, have a good day.

24:02 You too.

24:03 Goodbye.

24:04 Backpack mix-up in the park.

24:07 Hello, excuse me.

24:09 Hello, yes?

24:11 I think you have my backpack.

24:14 My backpack?

24:16 No, this is mine.

24:18 My backpack is blue and has a name tag.

24:22 Oh.

24:23 My backpack is also blue, but it has no tag.

24:29 I have a red water bottle inside mine.

24:32 Wait.

24:33 Yes, here is a red bottle.

24:36 See?

24:37 That is my backpack.

24:39 Oh, I am so sorry!

24:42 No problem.

24:43 The backpacks were lying together.

24:45 Yes, I was not paying attention.

24:48 Where is your backpack?

24:50 Over there, by the fountain.

24:52 Let’s go.

24:54 Yes, here it is.

24:56 No tag.

24:57 Good, now everything is correct.

25:00 Sorry for the mistake.

25:01 It's okay.

25:02 For a minute, I thought my bag was stolen!

25:06 No, just a mix-up.

25:08 Do you come here often?

25:10 Yes, almost every Sunday.

25:12 Nice.

25:13 I like the lake with the ducks.

25:15 Yes, and the ice cream at the kiosk is delicious.

25:20 Which ice cream is good?

25:22 Vanilla or pistachio.

25:24 Great, I will get that.

25:26 Are you on vacation in New York?

25:29 Yes, until Thursday.

25:31 You should also go to Central Park.

25:33 Good idea, thanks.

25:35 And sorry again about the backpack.

25:38 No problem.

25:39 Now it is a funny story.

25:41 Next time, I will put a ribbon on mine.

25:44 Good idea.

25:45 Well, have a nice day.

25:47 Thanks, you too.

25:49 Bye.

25:50 Dogs forbidden in the café.

25:53 Good morning.

25:54 Good morning.

25:56 Would you like a table?

25:58 Yes, please.

25:59 For one person.

26:00 Sure.

26:01 But...

26:02 is that your dog?

26:04 Yes, this is my dog.

26:06 His name is Paco.

26:08 I am very sorry, but dogs are not allowed inside.

26:13 Oh.

26:14 Not even small dogs?

26:16 No, that is our rule.

26:19 I understand.

26:20 But he is very quiet.

26:22 He does not bark.

26:24 Yes, but some guests do not like dogs.

26:28 Do you have a patio outside?

26:31 Yes, right here by the entrance.

26:34 Can I sit there with him?

26:35 Of course.

26:36 Outside is no problem.

26:39 Super.

26:39 Can you bring me the menu?

26:41 Yes, right away.

26:43 Do you have coffee with oat milk?

26:46 Yes.

26:46 It costs $2 dollars.

26:48 Very good.

26:49 One, please.

26:50 And a small bowl of water for Paco.

26:53 No problem.

26:54 The water is free.

26:56 Thank you, that is very nice.

26:58 Would you like to eat something?

27:01 Yes, bread with tomato.

27:03 With whole wheat bread or white bread?

27:06 With whole wheat bread, please.

27:08 Okay.

27:08 It will take five minutes.

27:11 No rush.

27:12 I have time.

27:13 Here is the coffee and the water for Paco.

27:17 Look Paco, your water.

27:19 Your dog is very cute.

27:21 Thanks.

27:22 He loves people.

27:23 And here is the bread.

27:25 Thank you for letting me sit outside.

27:28 No problem.

27:29 This way, it works for everyone.

27:31 I will come back.

27:33 Great.

27:33 Have a nice day.

27:35 You too.

27:36 Goodbye.

27:37 Defective product in the store.

27:40 Good morning.

27:42 Good morning.

27:43 Can I help you?

27:45 Yes.

27:45 I bought a fan here yesterday.

27:49 It doesn't work.

27:50 Oh, really?

27:51 It doesn't turn on?

27:53 No.

27:54 I plug it in, but nothing happens.

27:58 Do you have the receipt?

28:00 Yes, here you go.

28:01 Thank you.

28:03 Yes, I see.

28:05 Bought yesterday.

28:06 Exactly.

28:07 Did you try a different electrical outlet?

28:10 Yes, but it doesn't work.

28:13 Then it must be broken.

28:15 Can I exchange it?

28:17 Of course.

28:17 We have the same fan right here.

28:20 Can we test this one, right now?

28:23 Yes, right here at the register.

28:26 Look, this one works.

28:27 Yes, I hear the motor.

28:29 Would you like to take this one?

28:31 Yes, please.

28:33 Do you want an extra warranty?

28:35 One extra year for $5 dollars.

28:38 Hmm.

28:38 Yes.

28:39 I will take it.

28:41 Okay.

28:41 Here is the new receipt.

28:44 Thank you very much for your help.

28:46 You’re welcome.

28:47 We are happy to help.

29:24 Oh, excuse me.

29:26 I am very sorry.

29:28 Can you please make it warm?

29:31 Yes, right away.

29:32 I will take it to the kitchen.

29:34 Thank you.

29:35 I ordered it hot.

29:37 Usually, it is hot.

29:39 That is strange.

29:40 Maybe it was waiting for a long time.

29:44 Yes, we are very busy today.

29:47 Yes, all the tables are full.

29:50 You are right.

29:51 It is lunchtime.

29:53 But it smells good in here.

29:55 That is our fish soup.

29:57 Great!

29:58 I like fish.

30:00 Here you go.

30:01 Now it is hot.

30:02 Yes, I see the steam.

30:05 Thank you.

30:06 Would you like bread with that?

30:08 Yes, please.

30:09 With olive oil.

30:11 Is this your first time here?

30:13 Yes, a friend recommended this restaurant.

30:17 Nice.

30:17 We are very famous in Chicago.

30:20 What is the price of the daily special?

30:23 Today it is $12 dollars.

30:25 It includes dessert and a drink.

30:28 Very good.

30:29 For dessert, we have pudding or fruit.

30:33 I will take the pudding.

30:34 Good choice.

30:36 The soup tastes very good now.

30:39 Good, I am happy you like it.

30:41 Thank you for the fast help.

30:43 You're welcome.

30:44 We want happy guests.

30:50 Have a nice day.

30:52 Thank you.

30:53 You too.

30:54 Goodbye.

30:54 Room cleaning needed.

30:56 Hello.

30:58 Hello, can I help you?

31:00 Yes, my room, 208, is not clean today.

31:06 Really?

31:06 That is strange.

31:08 Yes, I left at 10 AM.

31:11 I put the "Please clean room" sign on the door.

31:16 I will ask housekeeping.

31:18 Thank you.

31:19 I need fresh towels.

31:21 Do you also want new bed sheets?

31:24 Yes, please.

31:25 And please empty the trash can.

31:28 One moment...

31:29 yes, there was a mistake.

31:31 They thought you were in the room.

31:33 But I was not there.

31:35 I am sorry about that.

31:37 No problem.

31:38 Can you clean it now?

31:40 Yes, in ten minutes.

31:42 Super.

31:42 I will wait in the bar.

31:45 Good.

31:45 Would you like a coffee?

31:47 It is free, for the trouble.

31:49 Yes, please.

31:50 A latte.

31:51 I will tell the waiter.

31:52 The bar is downstairs by the pool, right?

31:56 Exactly.

31:57 Perfect.

31:58 We will call you when the room is ready.

32:00 Thank you for your help.

32:02 Of course.

32:02 Are you staying here long?

32:04 Yes, until Sunday.

32:29 Thank you.

32:30 I'm trying to find Central Park.

32:33 Am I going the right way?

32:36 Yes, it's very close.

32:38 Just walk up that street.

32:40 You'll see the entrance in about fifteen minutes.

32:43 Great.

32:44 I'm a bit thirsty.

32:46 Is there a store around here to buy some water?

32:50 Yes, there's a small corner store right there.

32:53 They sell drinks and sandwiches.

32:56 Perfect.

32:57 I'll get a ham sandwich if they have one.

33:00 They do.

33:01 The store is open until eight p.m.

33:04 Thank you.

33:05 One last question: I need a subway ticket.

33:09 Can I buy one there?

33:11 No, not at the corner store.

33:13 But the subway station entrance is right across the street.

33:16 You can buy a ticket from the machine there.

33:19 Be careful, there is often a long line at that machine.

33:23 Okay, I'll keep that in mind.

33:25 Thank you so much for your help!

33:28 No problem.

33:29 Enjoy your walk in the park!

33:48 About 15 minutes.

33:49 Is this your first time in New York?

33:52 Yes.

33:53 I'm from Argentina.

33:55 Welcome!

33:56 Have you seen any landmarks yet, like the Statue of Liberty?

34:00 Not yet.

34:02 I also want to visit a museum.

34:05 Which one do you recommend?

34:07 You should visit the big art museum downtown.

34:10 It's very famous.

34:12 You can buy tickets online to avoid the line.

34:15 Great tip, thank you.

34:17 And where can I get a good coffee around here?

34:21 There are cafés everywhere.

34:23 There is a really nice coffee shop near the museum.

34:27 Perfect.

34:28 Where should I get off for Times Square?

35:23 By the way, how long will it take?

35:26 Not long, about five minutes.

35:29 Great.

35:30 Can I also have a glass of still water, please?

35:34 Of course.

35:35 Do you need anything else?

35:37 No, that's everything.

35:39 Where is the restroom?

35:41 In the back, on the right.

35:43 Thank you.

35:44 I can pay with a credit card later, right?

35:48 Yes, whenever you're ready.

39:57 Almost every Saturday.

39:59 How about you?

40:00 This is my first time here.

40:02 What's the name of the park?

40:05 It's called "Sunnyside Park." Do you live near here?

40:09 Yes, just five minutes away.

40:12 What do you do on the weekend?

40:14 I take walks, I read, and sometimes I watch movies.

40:19 What kind of movies do you like?

40:21 I like action movies.

40:23 And you?

40:24 Comedies and romantic movies.

40:27 Do you have a favorite movie?

40:29 Yes, a famous animated movie about a boy who loves music.

40:33 Do you know it?

40:34 Of course, it's a beautiful movie.

40:37 You said you read.

40:39 Do you read every day?

40:41 Almost every day.

40:43 What book are you reading now?

40:45 A simple book in German.

40:47 It's very interesting.

40:48 Exciting.

40:50 Do you like listening to music?

40:52 Yes, a lot.

40:53 I listen to Rock and Tango.

40:55 Do you dance the Tango?

40:57 No, but I want to learn.

40:59 There are classes at the community center.

41:02 Really?

41:02 I'd love to go.

41:04 When are they?

41:06 Wednesday at six p.m.

41:07 Do you go every week?

41:09 Yes.

41:10 Do you want to come with me this Wednesday?

41:12 You just need comfortable shoes.

41:14 I'd love to!

41:15 How long is the class?

41:17 One hour.

41:18 We could get a coffee after.

41:20 That's a great idea.

41:22 Super.

41:22 So, I'll see you on Wednesday?

41:24 Let's meet here in the park at 5:30.

41:27 Perfect.

41:28 Thanks, this was a nice conversation.

41:31 I think so too.

41:32 See you Wednesday!

41:33 At the Pharmacy Good afternoon.

41:36 How can I help you?

41:38 I have a bad headache.

41:41 Do you have something for it?

41:43 Yes, of course.

41:44 Do you prefer pills or syrup?

41:47 The pills work faster.

41:49 Pills, please.

41:51 Do I need a prescription?

41:53 No, this is over-the-counter.

41:55 Do you have any other symptoms?

41:57 A fever, maybe?

41:59 I'm not sure if I have a fever.

42:02 Do you have a simple digital thermometer?

42:05 Yes, we do.

42:06 Okay, I'll take one.

42:08 My throat also hurts a little.

42:10 We have honey or mint lozenges.

42:13 Honey is more soothing for the throat.

42:16 I'll take the honey ones.

42:18 I also have some muscle pain in my arm.

42:21 For that, I can give you a sample of an ointment.

42:24 It works very well.

42:26 That would be great, thank you.

42:28 And a small bottle of hand sanitizer.

42:31 Okay.

42:32 So, the headache pills, a digital thermometer,

42:36 honey lozenges, the ointment sample, and hand sanitizer.

42:41 Anything else?

42:42 No, that's everything.

42:44 Your total is fifteen dollars.

42:46 Okay.

42:47 I'll pay with cash.

42:49 Thank you.

42:49 Feel better soon!

42:51 At the Train Station Hello.

42:54 I'd like a ticket to Boston, please.

42:58 Sure.

42:59 For today?

43:00 The next train is at 10:30 a.m.

43:04 Yes, for that train.

43:07 How much is a one-way ticket?

43:10 Fifty dollars.

43:11 A round-trip ticket is eighty.

43:13 Just one-way for now.

43:16 Is it a direct train?

43:18 Yes, non-stop.

43:20 The trip takes four hours.

43:22 Perfect.

43:23 Can I have a window seat, please?

43:26 Of course.

43:27 Great, I'll pay with a card.

43:30 Is there a café car on the train?

43:33 Yes, you can buy coffee, sandwiches, and water there.

43:37 Am I allowed to bring my own food?

43:40 Yes, that's no problem.

43:42 And what is the cancellation policy?

43:45 You can cancel up to one hour before the departure time.

43:49 Good to know.

43:50 Thank you.

43:51 You're welcome.

43:52 Here is your ticket and your receipt.

43:54 Your train leaves from platform 5.

43:57 The waiting area is over there.

43:59 Have a good trip!

44:00 First Day at Work Hi, are you new here?

44:05 Yes, it's my first day.

44:07 I'm Thomas.

44:09 I'm Laura.

44:10 Nice to meet you.

44:12 Are you looking for the HR office?

44:15 Yes.

44:15 I have an appointment with Martha at 9:30.

44:19 She's the head of HR.

44:21 Her office is on the second floor.

44:24 She's very punctual.

44:26 Thanks.

44:27 I need to get my ID badge and sign some paperwork.

44:30 Martha will help you with all of that.

44:33 Great.

44:34 Can you tell me where the kitchen is?

44:36 I'd love a coffee.

44:37 Of course.

44:38 It's next to the big conference room.

44:41 The coffee is free.

44:43 There are also usually some free cookies.

44:47 Fantastic!

44:47 What time is the lunch break?

44:50 From one to two.

44:52 Sometimes we go out to a bar nearby called "The Corner Bistro." Sounds good.

44:58 And the restrooms?

44:59 In the back, on the right.

45:01 Thank you so much for your help.

45:03 Of course.

45:05 Welcome to the team!

45:07 What's for Dinner?

45:08 I am starting to get hungry.

45:11 What should we make for dinner tonight?

45:15 I'm not sure.

45:16 I haven't thought about it.

45:18 I'll look in the refrigerator to see what we have.

45:22 Okay, good idea.

45:24 Oh.

45:25 This is not good.

45:27 What do you mean?

45:28 What's wrong?

45:29 The fridge is almost empty.

45:32 We forgot to go grocery shopping.

45:35 Oh no, I was so busy this week, I forgot too.

45:39 So what can we cook?

45:42 We have almost nothing.

45:44 Let’s see.

45:45 What is in there?

45:47 We have some carrots, an onion, and a little bit of rice.

45:52 That's it?

45:53 No meat or chicken?

45:55 No, nothing like that.

45:57 Hmm.

45:58 Carrots, onion, and rice.

46:00 It's not a very exciting dinner.

46:03 So, do we order a pizza?

46:06 No, wait!

46:07 I have an idea.

46:09 It's creative.

46:10 What is it?

46:11 We can make fried rice!

46:13 Fried rice?

46:14 With just carrots and onion?

46:17 Yes!

46:17 We can chop them into small pieces.

46:19 And we have soy sauce in the cupboard, right?

46:22 Yes, we always have soy sauce.

46:25 And we have eggs!

46:27 Perfect!

46:28 We can make a simple but delicious vegetable fried rice.

46:32 That is a brilliant idea!

46:35 You saved dinner.

46:37 It's better than ordering a pizza again.

46:39 I agree.

46:40 But tomorrow, we really need to go to the store.

46:45 Yes.

46:46 Tomorrow, we will write a big shopping list!

46:49 Help with the Printer Oh no, not again.

46:54 Hi, Mark.

46:55 Is everything okay?

46:57 You look frustrated.

46:59 Hi, Sophie.

47:00 I'm trying to print a report for the big meeting this afternoon.

47:05 And I guess the printer is not working?

47:07 Exactly!

47:08 I press "print," but nothing comes out.

47:11 The screen says there is a "paper jam." Ah, the classic paper jam.

47:17 This printer is famous for that.

47:20 I don't know how to fix it.

47:22 I'm worried I won't have the report ready in time.

47:25 Don't worry, it's usually an easy fix.

47:28 I can help you.

47:30 Really?

47:30 That would be great.

47:32 Thank you!

47:33 Of course.

47:33 First, you need to open this panel on the right side.

47:38 Okay, I have it open.

47:40 Now, look inside.

47:41 You should see a piece of paper that is stuck.

47:44 Yes, I see it!

47:46 It's folded in a strange way.

47:48 You just need to pull it out very slowly.

47:51 Be gentle.

47:52 Okay, pulling slowly...

47:54 I got it!

47:56 Perfect.

47:56 Now just close the panel again.

47:59 (The printer whirs to life) It's making a noise!

48:01 A good noise!

48:02 Yes, the screen says "Ready to print." My report is printing!

48:06 Sophie, thank you so much.

48:09 You saved me!

48:10 It's no problem at all.

48:12 We are a team here.

48:14 Now I can be ready for my meeting.

48:16 Glad I could help.

48:17 Good luck with the report!

48:19 Thanks again!

48:20 Whose Turn Is It?

48:22 That was a delicious dinner.

48:25 Thank you for cooking.

48:27 You're welcome.

48:28 I'm glad you enjoyed it.

48:30 Now I can relax and watch a movie.

48:34 Wait a moment.

48:36 What about all these dirty dishes?

48:39 Oh, right.

48:40 The dishes.

48:42 The kitchen is a mess.

48:44 Someone needs to wash them.

48:46 I know.

48:47 I think it’s your turn tonight, isn't it?

48:51 My turn?

48:51 I don't think so.

48:53 I washed them yesterday.

48:55 Are you sure?

48:56 I remember washing a lot of pots and pans.

49:00 Yes, but I washed all the plates and glasses from dinner yesterday.

49:05 Hmm.

49:05 I really thought it was your turn.

49:09 And I thought it was yours.

49:11 This is a problem.

49:13 I have an idea.

49:15 Let's check the chore chart on the fridge.

49:18 The chart!

49:18 I always forget we have that.

49:21 Good idea.

49:22 Okay, let's see.

49:24 Today is Friday.

49:27 And next to "Friday Dishes" is...

49:30 your name.

49:31 Oh.

49:32 You are right.

49:33 It is my turn.

49:35 The chart is very useful!

49:38 Okay, you are right.

49:40 No problem.

49:40 I will do them now.

49:43 Thank you.

49:43 Do you want some help?

49:45 Really?

49:45 You don't have to.

49:47 I know.

49:48 But if I help you dry the dishes, we can finish faster.

49:52 And then we can both watch the movie.

49:55 Exactly!

49:55 It's a team effort.

49:57 That's a great plan.

49:59 Thank you!

50:00 Saturday Night Plans It’s almost seven o'clock.

50:05 What should we do tonight?

50:07 I’m not sure.

50:08 I'm feeling a little tired from the week.

50:12 Me too.

50:13 Maybe we should just have a quiet night in.

50:17 We could order a pizza and watch a movie.

50:20 That sounds easy.

50:21 That does sound easy.

50:23 But it’s Saturday night.

50:25 Maybe we should do something more exciting?

50:28 Like what?

50:29 I don’t have a lot of energy to go out to a club or a big party.

50:34 No, me neither.

50:35 But my colleague told me about a new restaurant downtown.

50:40 A new restaurant?

50:41 What kind of food is it?

50:44 It’s a Greek restaurant.

50:45 She said it’s very authentic and not too expensive.

50:49 Hmm, Greek food.

50:51 That does sound delicious.

50:53 I thought so too.

50:55 It's something different.

50:56 But is it very busy on a Saturday?

50:59 I don’t want to wait in a long line.

51:02 That is a good point.

51:03 I have an idea.

51:05 What is it?

51:06 We can call them now and see if we can make a reservation.

51:10 Oh, good thinking.

51:11 If we can get a table, then we don't have to wait.

51:15 Exactly.

51:15 And if they are full, we can just go back to our pizza and movie plan.

51:20 It's a perfect plan!

51:22 There is no risk.

51:24 Okay, I will look up their phone number right now.

51:27 And I will cross my fingers that they have a table for us.

51:31 Me too!

51:32 I'm suddenly in the mood for Greek food.

51:35 So am I.

51:36 This is much more exciting than just staying home.

51:39 I'm glad you agree.

51:41 Okay, I'm calling them now.

51:43 The Broken Toaster Good morning.

51:47 Are you making coffee?

51:49 Yes, the coffee is almost ready.

51:52 Do you want some toast?

51:54 I would love some.

51:56 But I think we have a problem.

51:59 A problem?

52:00 What is it?

52:01 I tried to use the toaster, but it is not working.

52:07 Oh?

52:07 Are you sure it's plugged in?

52:09 Yes, I checked the plug first.

52:12 It’s definitely in.

52:14 That's strange.

52:15 It worked perfectly yesterday.

52:17 I know.

52:18 I push the handle down, but nothing happens.

52:22 No light, no heat.

52:24 Let me try.

52:26 You are right, it’s completely dead.

52:29 I think it's finally broken.

52:31 It was a very old toaster.

52:34 I agree.

52:35 Well, what do we do for breakfast now?

52:38 I have an idea.

52:40 We can make toast in the frying pan.

52:43 On the stove?

52:45 That’s a great idea!

52:46 I forgot about that.

52:48 It will be a little slower, but it works.

52:52 Okay, you get the pan and I will get the butter.

52:55 Perfect.

52:56 But we still need a new toaster.

53:00 Yes, we do.

53:01 I can go to the store after work today.

53:03 Are you sure?

53:04 You don't have to.

53:06 It's no problem.

53:07 I need to go to the supermarket anyway.

53:10 Okay, that is very kind of you.

53:12 I will buy a simple one.

53:14 Is that okay?

53:15 Yes, a simple one is all we need.

53:18 Great.

53:19 Now, let’s enjoy our coffee and pan-fried toast!

53:23 Sounds like a good plan.

53:24 Catching Up at the Café This is so nice.

53:29 I’m glad we had time to meet for coffee today.

53:33 Me too!

53:34 It’s been a busy week.

53:36 It’s good to finally relax.

53:39 So, tell me, how was your week?

53:41 It was okay.

53:43 A lot of work, as usual.

53:45 How about you?

53:46 Same for me.

53:47 But I have some exciting news.

53:50 Oh really?

53:51 What is it?

53:52 I finally booked my vacation!

53:55 No way!

53:56 That’s amazing!

53:57 Where are you going?

53:59 I decided to go to Italy for two weeks.

54:03 Italy!

54:03 I am so jealous.

54:05 I love Italy.

54:06 When do you leave?

54:08 I leave in three weeks.

54:11 I am already so excited.

54:13 I can imagine!

54:15 Are you going alone?

54:17 No, I'm going with my sister.

54:19 That will be so much fun.

54:20 Do you have a plan for what you will see?

54:23 Not really.

54:24 We have our flights and the first hotel, but that’s it.

54:28 Sometimes it’s more fun to be spontaneous and not have a big plan.

54:33 That's what I think too.

54:35 We just want to explore, eat good pasta, and relax.

54:38 It sounds absolutely perfect.

54:41 Now I just have to survive three more weeks of work.

54:45 You can do it!

54:47 Thinking about your vacation will make it easier.

54:49 That's true.

54:50 You have to send me a lot of pictures while you are there.

54:53 Of course I will!

54:55 I am so happy for you.

54:57 This is great news.

54:59 Thank you!

54:59 It feels good to finally have a trip planned.

55:03 Making Weekend Plans I am so happy the work week is over.

55:10 Me too!

55:11 It felt very long this week.

55:14 Do you have any special plans for the weekend?

55:18 Not yet.

55:18 I was waiting to see what the weather will be like.

55:22 I just checked the forecast.

55:24 It says it will be sunny and warm tomorrow.

55:28 Oh, wonderful!

55:29 We must do something outside, then.

55:32 I agree.

55:33 We shouldn't stay inside on a beautiful day.

55:37 Do you have any ideas?

55:38 I don't want to just do the same old thing.

55:41 I have an idea we haven't done in a long time.

55:45 What is it?

55:46 We could take our bicycles and ride to the lake.

55:50 The lake!

55:51 That's a fantastic idea.

55:53 I haven't been on my bike in weeks.

55:56 The path to the lake is so beautiful in September.

56:01 You are right.

56:02 And it's good exercise too.

56:04 We could pack some sandwiches and drinks in a backpack.

56:08 And we can have a small picnic when we get there!

56:12 Exactly.

56:12 So, are you free to go tomorrow morning?

56:16 Yes, I am completely free.

56:18 What time should we leave?

56:20 How about we leave around ten o'clock?

56:24 Ten o'clock is perfect.

56:25 It's not too early.

56:26 Great!

56:27 We should check the air in our bike tires tonight.

56:31 Good thinking.

56:31 I will get the pump from the basement.

56:34 I'm already excited.

56:36 It's going to be a perfect Saturday.

56:39 I agree.

56:40 Thank you for the great idea!

56:42 At the Farmer's Market Good morning!

56:45 What can I get for you today?

56:48 Good morning.

56:49 Everything looks so fresh!

56:52 Thank you.

56:53 We picked all these vegetables from our garden this morning.

56:57 Wonderful.

56:57 I would like to buy some carrots, please.

57:01 Of course.

57:01 How many would you like?

57:03 I think half a kilogram is good.

57:06 Half a kilogram of carrots.

57:08 Here you are.

57:09 They are very sweet.

57:11 They look perfect.

57:12 Now, I also need some potatoes.

57:15 The potatoes are over here.

57:17 They are great for roasting or making soup.

57:21 I want to make a potato salad.

57:23 Which ones are best for that?

57:25 For a salad, I recommend these smaller, waxy potatoes.

57:30 Why are they better?

57:32 They stay firm when you cook them.

57:34 They don't fall apart.

57:36 Oh, that is exactly what I need!

57:39 My salads are always too soft.

57:41 Then these are the perfect potatoes for you.

57:45 Great.

57:45 I will take one kilogram of those, please.

57:48 Excellent choice.

57:49 So, that is half a kilo of carrots and one kilo of potatoes.

57:55 Yes, that's all for today.

57:57 Is there anything else I can help you with?

57:59 No, thank you.

58:00 How much is that?

58:02 That will be six dollars, please.

58:04 Here you are.

58:05 Thank you.

58:06 Enjoy making your potato salad!

58:08 I will!

58:09 Thank you for the good advice.

58:11 My pleasure.

58:12 Have a lovely weekend.

58:14 Taking Care of the Plants The weather is so nice today.

58:19 I'm going to water the plants on the balcony.

58:24 Oh, good idea.

58:25 They are probably thirsty.

58:27 Most of them look good, but I am a little worried about the tomato plant.

58:34 The tomato plant?

58:35 What’s wrong with it?

58:37 I thought it was growing so well.

58:39 It was, but now some of the leaves are turning yellow.

58:44 Yellow leaves?

58:45 That’s not a good sign.

58:47 I know.

58:48 Do you think I am giving it too much water?

58:52 It's possible.

58:53 Or maybe not enough water?

58:55 It's so confusing.

58:57 I watered it two days ago.

59:00 Let me see the soil.

59:02 Hmm, it feels quite dry.

59:05 So it does need more water?

59:07 I think so.

59:08 The sun is very strong on this balcony in the afternoon.

59:12 That's true.

59:13 It gets sun all day.

59:15 I have an idea.

59:17 Maybe we should also give it some plant food.

59:20 Plant food?

59:21 You mean fertilizer?

59:23 Yes.

59:23 It gives the plant extra vitamins to help it grow strong.

59:28 That is a great idea.

59:30 Do we have any?

59:31 I think we have a small bottle under the kitchen sink.

59:35 I will go look for it right now.

59:37 Okay.

59:37 I will give the plant a good drink of water.

59:40 Perfect.

59:41 We are a good team for our little plant.

59:45 I hope it feels better soon.

59:47 I really want to eat some fresh tomatoes!

59:50 Me too!

59:51 Sorting the Recycling The recycling corner is getting very full.

59:58 I know.

59:59 We need to take it all out to the collection point tomorrow.

1:00:03 Okay, let's make sure everything is sorted correctly.

1:00:09 I tried to sort it.

1:00:10 Can you check if I did it right?

1:00:13 I’m still learning the rules.

1:00:14 No problem at all.

1:00:16 Let's look together.

1:00:18 Okay, I put all the plastic bottles in this big bag.

1:00:22 That's perfect.

1:00:23 All the PET bottles go in there.

1:00:27 What about this empty milk bottle?

1:00:29 Is that okay too?

1:00:30 Ah, good question.

1:00:32 Milk bottles are different plastic.

1:00:35 They go in a separate bag.

1:00:38 Oh, I see.

1:00:39 I will move it now.

1:00:41 And what about this glass jar?

1:00:44 I put it in the bag for glass.

1:00:46 Great.

1:00:46 Just remember to take the metal lid off.

1:00:50 The lid?

1:00:51 Where does that go?

1:00:53 All metal, like lids and aluminium cans, goes into this small box here.

1:01:00 Okay, so glass jars in one place, metal lids in another.

1:01:05 I understand.

1:01:06 Exactly.

1:01:07 And last, the paper.

1:01:09 I put all the newspapers and cardboard in a pile.

1:01:13 That's perfect.

1:01:14 Now we just need to tie it together with this string.

1:01:19 Can you show me how to do that?

1:01:21 Of course.

1:01:22 We make a tight bundle, like this.

1:01:25 This is very organized.

1:01:27 Thank you for explaining it all again.

1:01:29 You're welcome!

1:01:30 It gets easier with practice.

1:01:33 I will remember for next time.

1:01:35 Great!

1:01:36 Now we are ready for recycling day.

1:01:39 Starting the Weekly Meeting Good morning, Julia.

1:01:43 Thank you for being here on time.

1:01:46 Good morning, David.

1:01:47 Of course.

1:01:49 The rest of the team should be here in a few minutes.

1:01:53 Great.

1:01:53 That gives me a moment to set up my laptop.

1:01:56 Good idea.

1:01:57 You are presenting the sales numbers today, right?

1:02:01 Yes, I have a short presentation ready.

1:02:03 Excellent.

1:02:04 I am looking forward to seeing it.

1:02:07 I just need to connect my laptop to the big screen… but I have a small problem.

1:02:12 A problem?

1:02:13 What is it?

1:02:14 I don't have the right cable to connect my computer.

1:02:18 Oh?

1:02:18 What kind of laptop do you have?

1:02:20 It's a new model.

1:02:22 It only has these small USB-C ports.

1:02:25 Ah, I see.

1:02:26 And the projector cable is the old, big HDMI type.

1:02:31 Exactly.

1:02:32 I forgot to bring my adapter.

1:02:34 I am so sorry.

1:02:36 Don't worry about it.

1:02:37 These things happen with new technology.

1:02:40 But the team needs to see my charts.

1:02:42 I have a solution.

1:02:44 Can you email me your presentation right now?

1:02:47 Email it to you?

1:02:48 Yes, of course.

1:02:50 I will open it on my laptop.

1:02:52 My computer is already connected to the screen.

1:02:55 Oh, that is a great idea!

1:02:57 Thank you, David.

1:02:59 No problem at all.

1:03:00 Just tell me when to change the slide.

1:03:02 I am sending the email now… Okay, it's sent.

1:03:06 I just received it.

1:03:08 Perfect.

1:03:09 Problem solved.

1:03:10 Thank you for thinking so quickly.

1:03:12 You saved my presentation.

1:03:14 Of course.

1:03:15 We are a team.

1:03:17 Now, let’s get ready.

1:03:19 The New Neighbor Oh, hello there.

1:03:22 Do you need some help with that box?

1:03:25 Hi!

1:03:26 Yes, that would be great.

1:03:28 It’s heavier than it looks.

1:03:30 No problem.

1:03:31 Let me hold the door for you.

1:03:33 Phew.

1:03:33 Thank you so much.

1:03:35 I’m Tom, by the way.

1:03:37 I’m just moving in.

1:03:38 Welcome to the building!

1:03:40 I’m Anna.

1:03:41 I live right here.

1:03:42 It's very nice to meet you, Anna.

1:03:44 Sorry about all the mess in the hallway.

1:03:46 Please, don’t worry about it.

1:03:48 Where did you move from?

1:03:50 I moved from a small town about two hours away.

1:03:53 Oh, welcome to the big city, then!

1:03:56 Thank you.

1:03:57 It’s very different, but I’m excited.

1:03:59 I moved for a new job.

1:04:01 That’s great!

1:04:02 What do you do?

1:04:03 I am a chef.

1:04:04 I work at a new restaurant downtown.

1:04:06 A chef!

1:04:07 Wow.

1:04:08 My favorite hobby is eating food.

1:04:12 That’s a good hobby to have.

1:04:13 What about you, Anna?

1:04:14 What do you do?

1:04:15 I'm a student.

1:04:17 I study art history.

1:04:18 Art history.

1:04:19 That sounds very interesting and very different from cooking.

1:04:23 It is.

1:04:24 Well, I have to go now, but it was really nice to meet you.

1:04:28 You too.

1:04:28 And thank you again for the help.

1:04:30 Any time.

1:04:31 If you get hungry later, there is a fantastic pizza place on the corner.

1:04:36 Good to know!

1:04:37 I love pizza.

1:04:38 Thanks for the tip.

1:04:39 You're welcome.

1:04:40 See you around, Tom!

1:04:42 See you, Anna!

1:04:43 The Hostel Kitchen Hello.

1:04:46 Are you looking for something?

1:04:49 Oh, hi.

1:04:49 Yes.

1:04:50 I can't find a pan to cook my noodles.

1:04:54 Ah, I used one yesterday.

1:04:56 Let me see.

1:04:58 They are in this drawer.

1:05:00 Here you go.

1:05:01 Thank you so much!

1:05:03 You are a lifesaver.

1:05:05 No problem.

1:05:06 I'm Sofia.

1:05:07 I'm Kenji.

1:05:08 Nice to meet you.

1:05:09 You too, Kenji.

1:05:10 Where are you from?

1:05:12 You don't sound like you're from here.

1:05:14 I am from Japan.

1:05:16 I'm studying at the university for a year.

1:05:19 Japan!

1:05:19 Wow.

1:05:20 I am from Spain.

1:05:22 I am just traveling.

1:05:24 Spain is a beautiful country.

1:05:26 What do you do in Spain?

1:05:28 I am a photographer.

1:05:30 So my job is my hobby.

1:05:32 That's a very cool job.

1:05:34 You get to see many things.

1:05:36 Yes, I love it.

1:05:38 What about you?

1:05:39 What are your hobbies?

1:05:40 I like listening to music and playing video games.

1:05:44 What kind of music do you listen to?

1:05:46 I really like jazz music.

1:05:48 It helps me relax.

1:05:50 Me too!

1:05:51 I love jazz.

1:05:52 That’s a nice thing we have in common.

1:05:55 Yes, it is.

1:05:56 What is your favorite food from Japan?

1:05:59 My favorite is ramen, for sure.

1:06:02 I love ramen!

1:06:03 It's so delicious.

1:06:05 It is.

1:06:06 Well, I am making some coffee now.

1:06:08 Do you want a cup after your dinner?

1:06:11 Yes, please.

1:06:12 That sounds very nice.

1:06:14 Great.

1:06:14 We can talk more about jazz music.

1:06:17 Perfect.

1:06:18 Thank you, Sofia.

1:06:19 Waiting for the Class The teacher is a little late.

1:06:25 Yes.

1:06:25 I was starting to think I was in the wrong room.

1:06:29 Me too!

1:06:29 But this is the right place for the painting class, right?

1:06:33 I think so.

1:06:34 My letter says ‘Studio 4’.

1:06:36 Mine too.

1:06:37 Okay, good.

1:06:38 My name is Maria, by the way.

1:06:41 I'm Leo.

1:06:41 It's nice to meet you, Maria.

1:06:43 You too, Leo.

1:06:44 Is this your first time taking an art class?

1:06:47 Yes, it is.

1:06:48 I am a little nervous.

1:06:50 Don't be nervous!

1:06:51 Everyone is here to learn.

1:06:53 It will be fun.

1:06:54 What do you do for work, Leo?

1:06:57 I'm a programmer.

1:06:58 I work with computers all day.

1:07:00 Wow, that's very technical.

1:07:02 I'm a student.

1:07:03 I study music.

1:07:04 Music!

1:07:05 That is very creative.

1:07:06 So, what brings a music student to a painting class?

1:07:10 I love all kinds of art.

1:07:12 Music is my study, but painting is my hobby to relax.

1:07:16 It's a different way to be creative.

1:07:19 I understand that completely.

1:07:21 My job is very logical, so I wanted a creative hobby.

1:07:25 It's a perfect balance.

1:07:26 So, do you have any pets?

1:07:29 Yes, I have a dog.

1:07:30 His name is Max.

1:07:31 I love dogs!

1:07:32 I have a cat.

1:07:33 Her name is Luna.

1:07:35 A dog person and a cat person.

1:07:38 Very different!

1:07:39 Well, class is starting.

1:07:40 Are you still feeling nervous?

1:07:43 No, actually.

1:07:43 I'm not nervous anymore.

1:07:45 Thank you for the nice chat.

1:07:47 You're welcome.

1:07:47 It was nice to meet you, Leo.

1:07:49 The Weekly Wash Excuse me, I think you dropped a sock.

1:07:55 Oh, thank you, dear!

1:07:57 These little things are always running away.

1:08:01 No problem.

1:08:02 You must be new here.

1:08:04 I don't think I've seen you before.

1:08:06 Yes, it’s my first time.

1:08:08 I just moved into an apartment on this street.

1:08:11 Well, welcome to the neighborhood!

1:08:13 My name is Clara.

1:08:15 I live in the house with the big garden.

1:08:18 I’m Ben.

1:08:19 It’s nice to meet you.

1:08:21 A garden sounds lovely.

1:08:23 It’s a lot of work, but it’s my favorite hobby.

1:08:26 Are you a student?

1:08:28 Yes, I am.

1:08:29 I study history at the university.

1:08:31 History!

1:08:32 How interesting.

1:08:33 I was a teacher before I retired.

1:08:37 A teacher is a great job.

1:08:39 What did you teach?

1:08:40 I taught science to young children.

1:08:43 That's very important work.

1:08:45 Thank you.

1:08:46 So, what do you like to do for fun, Ben?

1:08:50 Besides laundry, of course.

1:08:52 Well, I love to read.

1:08:54 I also like to play the guitar.

1:08:56 Music and books.

1:08:58 That’s very nice.

1:08:59 Do you like sports?

1:09:01 Not really.

1:09:02 I prefer quiet activities.

1:09:04 I understand completely.

1:09:05 I prefer a good book to a loud game.

1:09:09 Well, I am all done for the week.

1:09:13 My machine is almost finished.

1:09:15 It was very nice to talk with you, Ben.

1:09:18 You too, Clara.

1:09:18 It made the time go faster.

1:09:20 I’m sure I’ll see you here again.

1:09:23 Have a wonderful day.

1:09:24 You too.

1:09:25 Goodbye!

1:09:26 Setting Up for the Day Good morning.

1:09:30 Excuse me, you look like you know what you are doing.

1:09:36 Good morning.

1:09:36 I’ve done this a few times.

1:09:38 Do you need some help?

1:09:40 Yes, please.

1:09:41 This is my first conference.

1:09:44 I don’t know how to build this display.

1:09:47 No problem.

1:09:48 They are all a little different.

1:09:51 Let me see.

1:09:52 I'm Nina.

1:09:53 Leo.

1:09:54 Thank you so much.

1:09:55 It’s nice to meet you.

1:09:57 You too, Leo.

1:09:59 Ah, I see the problem.

1:10:01 This piece is upside down.

1:10:04 Oh, of course.

1:10:05 Thank you.

1:10:06 What company are you with?

1:10:08 I’m with ‘CityScape Books’.

1:10:10 We publish travel guides.

1:10:13 That’s a cool job.

1:10:14 I’m with ‘Future Tech’.

1:10:16 We make phone apps.

1:10:18 So we are neighbors for the day.

1:10:20 It’s always good to know your neighbors.

1:10:22 I agree.

1:10:23 What is your job in the company?

1:10:26 I work in the marketing department.

1:10:29 And you?

1:10:29 I am a programmer.

1:10:31 They wanted a technical person to be here.

1:10:34 That’s a good idea.

1:10:35 Do you like your job?

1:10:37 I love it.

1:10:38 I like solving problems.

1:10:40 It’s like a puzzle.

1:10:41 And you have a puzzle right here with this display!

1:10:46 Exactly.

1:10:47 What are your hobbies when you are not working?

1:10:50 I like to go to the cinema.

1:10:53 I love movies.

1:10:54 Me too!

1:10:55 My favorite movies are comedies.

1:10:57 I love to laugh.

1:10:59 It’s finished!

1:11:00 I could not do it without you.

1:11:03 Teamwork!

1:11:03 Now we just have to wait for people to arrive.

1:11:07 It was really nice to meet you, Nina.

1:11:10 You too, Leo.

1:11:10 I’m going to get a coffee.

1:11:12 Would you like one?

1:11:14 I would love one.

1:11:15 Thank you.

1:11:15 It's nice to start the day with a new friend.

1:11:19 At the Dog Park Hello.

1:11:21 Your little dog is very brave!

1:11:25 Hi!

1:11:25 Yes, she thinks she's a big dog.

1:11:28 Her name is Mimi.

1:11:30 My dog is Buddy.

1:11:31 He is big, but he is very gentle.

1:11:34 He looks very friendly.

1:11:36 I’m Chloe, by the way.

1:11:38 A pleasure to meet you, Chloe.

1:11:40 I'm David.

1:11:40 You too.

1:11:41 Do you come to this park often?

1:11:43 Almost every day.

1:11:45 It’s a good way to relax after work.

1:11:48 I agree.

1:11:48 What do you do for work, David?

1:11:50 I am a baker.

1:11:52 I own a small bakery in the town center.

1:11:55 A baker!

1:11:56 That’s amazing.

1:11:57 I bet the food is delicious.

1:11:59 I try my best.

1:12:00 And what about you?

1:12:02 What do you do?

1:12:03 I am a graphic designer.

1:12:04 I work from home, so I am on my computer all day.

1:12:08 It’s good you can bring Mimi to the park for a break.

1:12:12 It is!

1:12:12 This is our favorite time of the day.

1:12:15 So, is walking in the park your hobby?

1:12:18 Yes, this and watching old movies.

1:12:20 What are your hobbies?

1:12:22 I love to work in my garden.

1:12:24 I grow vegetables.

1:12:25 You have a garden?

1:12:27 I'm so jealous.

1:12:28 I live in a small apartment.

1:12:30 A garden is nice, but an apartment is easier to clean!

1:12:35 That is very true.

1:12:36 It looks like our dogs are tired now.

1:12:39 Yes, playtime is over.

1:12:41 It was very nice to meet you, Chloe.

1:12:43 And Mimi, of course.

1:12:44 It was lovely to meet you and Buddy, too.

1:12:47 I hope we see you here again tomorrow.

1:12:49 Yes, definitely.

1:12:50 Have a good evening!

1:12:52 You too.

1:12:53 Bye!

1:12:53 Sunrise Jog Excuse me.

1:12:56 Sorry to bother you while you’re running.

1:12:59 Oh, hello.

1:13:00 It’s no problem.

1:13:02 I’m new to this area.

1:13:03 Is this a good path for a long run?

1:13:06 It’s the best one!

1:13:08 It goes along the lake for five kilometers.

1:13:11 Five kilometers!

1:13:12 That’s perfect.

1:13:13 Thank you.

1:13:14 My name is Ben.

1:13:16 Hi Ben, I’m Anja.

1:13:18 Nice to meet you.

1:13:19 You too.

1:13:20 You seem like a professional runner.

1:13:23 Not at all.

1:13:24 I just come here every morning before work.

1:13:26 It helps me wake up.

1:13:28 Me too.

1:13:29 I am not a morning person, but I love the quiet.

1:13:33 What do you do for work, Ben?

1:13:34 I’m a high school teacher.

1:13:36 I teach math.

1:13:37 A teacher!

1:13:38 My mother was a teacher.

1:13:40 It’s a very important job.

1:13:42 Thank you.

1:13:43 What about you?

1:13:44 I’m a photographer.

1:13:45 I mostly take pictures of food for restaurants.

1:13:49 Wow, a food photographer.

1:13:51 That sounds like a fun job.

1:13:53 It is.

1:13:54 My hobby is my job.

1:13:56 Do you have any hobbies besides running?

1:13:59 I like to play chess with my friends.

1:14:02 It's a very different activity.

1:14:04 Yes, one for the body and one for the mind.

1:14:07 Well, this is my turn.

1:14:09 I run a shorter loop.

1:14:10 Okay.

1:14:11 Thanks again for the help.

1:14:13 It was nice meeting you.

1:14:14 You too, Ben.

1:14:15 Enjoy the rest of the path.

1:14:17 I will.

1:14:18 Have a great day!

1:14:19 You too.

1:14:20 Maybe I’ll see you tomorrow morning!

1:14:22 I hope so!

1:14:24 Goodbye.

1:14:24 The Early Morning Tram Good morning.

1:14:27 It looks like the tram is running a little late.

1:14:31 Good morning.

1:14:32 Yes, by a few minutes.

1:14:35 It’s okay.

1:14:36 The sunrise is beautiful.

1:14:38 That's a positive way to see it.

1:14:40 It is a lovely morning.

1:14:42 I love the city at this time.

1:14:44 It’s so calm and quiet.

1:14:46 I agree completely.

1:14:48 I'm Martin, by the way.

1:14:50 Julia.

1:14:50 It’s nice to meet you.

1:14:52 You too, Julia.

1:14:53 You must have an early start to your day.

1:14:56 Yes, I work at a small café that opens at seven.

1:15:00 I’m the baker.

1:15:01 A baker!

1:15:02 So you are the reason people can have fresh bread in the morning.

1:15:07 Yes, I suppose so.

1:15:08 And you?

1:15:09 Why are you up so early?

1:15:11 I have an early flight.

1:15:13 I’m going to London for a business meeting.

1:15:16 Oh, you’re traveling for work.

1:15:18 What is your job?

1:15:19 I am an engineer.

1:15:21 It’s not as interesting as baking.

1:15:23 I think engineering is very interesting.

1:15:26 It is very different from my job.

1:15:29 Do you enjoy being a baker?

1:15:31 I love it.

1:15:32 My job is my hobby.

1:15:34 I love to create new things.

1:15:37 That’s the best kind of job to have.

1:15:39 What do you do for a hobby, Martin?

1:15:42 I like to go cycling on the weekends.

1:15:44 It helps me think.

1:15:46 Cycling is great exercise.

1:15:48 Very popular here.

1:15:50 Ah, I think that is our ride.

1:15:52 Yes, I see it coming.

1:15:54 Well, it was a pleasure talking with you, Julia.

1:15:57 You too, Martin.

1:15:58 Have a safe flight and a good meeting in London.

1:16:02 Thank you very much.

1:16:03 Have a wonderful day at the café.

1:16:06 I will.

1:16:07 Goodbye!

1:16:07 A Crowded Coffee Shop Excuse me.

1:16:11 Is this seat taken?

1:16:13 No, it’s free.

1:16:14 Please, go ahead.

1:16:16 Thank you so much.

1:16:17 It’s very busy in here today.

1:16:19 It is!

1:16:20 The coffee is very good, so everyone comes here before work.

1:16:25 I can see why.

1:16:26 I’m Marco, by the way.

1:16:28 Hi Marco.

1:16:29 I’m Lena.

1:16:29 Nice to meet you.

1:16:31 You too.

1:16:32 Are you on your way to work?

1:16:34 Yes, I work at the bookstore down the street.

1:16:36 I like to read a little before I start.

1:16:39 A bookstore!

1:16:40 That sounds like a lovely job.

1:16:42 It is.

1:16:43 I love books.

1:16:44 And what about you?

1:16:46 I am an architect.

1:16:48 My office is nearby.

1:16:49 Oh, an architect.

1:16:51 Do you design houses?

1:16:53 Yes, houses and small buildings.

1:16:55 It’s a creative job.

1:16:57 So your job is also your hobby?

1:17:00 Sometimes.

1:17:00 My main hobby is hiking.

1:17:02 I love the mountains.

1:17:04 Hiking is great.

1:17:05 I prefer something more relaxing.

1:17:08 My hobby is painting.

1:17:10 A painter and a book lover.

1:17:12 You are very artistic.

1:17:14 I suppose so.

1:17:15 What is your favorite food, Marco?

1:17:17 A strange question for the morning!

1:17:20 But I think my favorite food is pasta.

1:17:23 Me too.

1:17:24 I could eat pasta every day.

1:17:26 Well, I need to get to the office.

1:17:28 Me too.

1:17:29 My break is almost over.

1:17:31 It was very nice to meet you, Lena.

1:17:33 You too, Marco.

1:17:34 Enjoy your day.

1:17:35 Thanks, you too.

1:17:36 Maybe I’ll see you here again.

1:17:38 I hope so.

1:17:40 Bye!

1:17:40 The First Bread of the Day Good morning.

1:17:44 It smells wonderful in here.

1:17:47 Good morning.

1:17:48 It’s the best smell in the world, I think.

1:17:51 I agree.

1:17:52 I can never decide what to get.

1:17:55 Everything looks so fresh.

1:17:57 The Gipfeli are always warm at this time.

1:18:00 That’s my recommendation.

1:18:02 A warm Gipfeli sounds perfect.

1:18:05 Thank you.

1:18:06 I’m Elena.

1:18:07 I’m Lukas.

1:18:08 It's nice to meet you.

1:18:09 You too.

1:18:10 You are starting your day very early.

1:18:13 Yes, my work starts soon.

1:18:15 I am a construction worker.

1:18:17 Ah, an early job.

1:18:19 Me too.

1:18:20 I am a nurse at the city hospital.

1:18:23 A nurse is a very important job.

1:18:25 Thank you for what you do.

1:18:28 And thank you for building our city.

1:18:30 So, you are getting breakfast before your shift?

1:18:34 Yes, always.

1:18:35 Just something small.

1:18:36 I don't like big breakfasts.

1:18:38 Really?

1:18:39 I need a big sandwich.

1:18:41 I get very hungry at work.

1:18:44 What is your favorite sandwich?

1:18:46 Bread with cheese and salami.

1:18:48 Very simple.

1:18:49 A classic choice.

1:18:50 Well, it was nice talking with you.

1:18:53 You too, Elena.

1:18:53 I hope you have a quiet day at the hospital.

1:18:57 Thank you.

1:18:57 I hope your day is a good one too.

1:19:00 Thanks.

1:19:00 Have a good one.

1:19:01 You too.

1:19:03 Bye!
