Description
This is the companion podcast to On Track Episode 2: the second day of the race, starting in Milan. The episode itself is on the Coffee Break Languages YouTube channel, and it's best to watch that first. We talk about how the day went, so be aware there will be spoilers!
Thomas tells the story of day two from Team Blue's side, in a short German text written for learners. The day starts in Milan, with a bit of luck and a few embarrassing moments on the way to the station. We read it through, talk about the language in it, then read it again, so by the end you'll understand every word.
Look out for separable verbs: "vorankommen" becomes "kamen wir zügig voran", "aufgeben" becomes "gaben nicht auf", with the little word at the end of the clause. And there's "jemandem unter die Arme greifen", to help someone out.
