Shopping 101 - Beginner German with Herr Antrim #19
Every week I get brochures from local stores,
for example the butcher shop or the bakery.
Before I go shopping,
I read the special sales.
Then I know exactly what I would like to buy.
Today I am going shopping and I am taking you along.
A: This is the butchershop.
Here you can buy meat and cheese.
I am buying sausage, ham and cheese.
In order to buy something, you have to talk with the butcher.
I tell him what I would like today.
A: Hello.
B: Hello. What’ll it be?
A: I would like to have 250 grams of ham.
B: Ok. (He weighs the ham.)
A: Then another 250 grams of salami.
B: Gladly. (He weighs the salami.)
A: I would also like to have four of these bratwursts.
B: (He puts the bratwursts in a bag. Anything else?
A: Yes. I would also like to have 150 grams of gouda,
150 grams of Emmenthaler and 150 grams of Edamer.
And 150 grams of that.
I don’t know what it is, but I like surprises.
B: Oh, that is a hard cheese.
If you don’t know it, then you really have to let yourself be surprised by that.
A: That sounds good. I still need a pound of hamburger.
B: Anything else?
A: What are the specials for today?
Is there something today that I shouldn’t miss?
B: Turkey cutlets only cost €1.79 per 100 grams.
A: Hmm. I don’t really like turkey.
B: How would it be with shish kebabs?
We make them fresh every day with onion, peppers, and beef steak.
Ideal for grilling.
A: That sounds good. What do they cost per piece?
B: €2.49
A: I will take four of them. Then that is all.
B: €24.78
A: 25 (He gives the Metzger €25.)
B: And 22 cents back. Have a nice day.
A: Thank you. You, too.
Next door there is a bakery.
I would like to buy something for breakfast and also a few rolls.
Now we will go inside.
C: Hello. How can I help you?
A: First I would like two of these cinnamon rolls.
They look very delicious.
C: That is also my favorite pastry.
A: Then I also need rolls.
C: And what kind of rolls would you like?
A: Five normal rolls and four kaiser rolls.
C: Anything else?
A: What is that there?
C: Those are strawberry creme rolls.
A: And what do they cost?
C: 2 pieces for €4.50.
A: Then I will take two pieces of that and a loaf of wood oven bread.
C: Would you like anything else?
A: That is all for today.
C: €19.45, please.
A: €20 (He gives him €20.)
C: And 55 cents back. Have a nice day.
A: Thank you. You, too.
Now we just need fruit and vegetables.
I buy everything fresh from the fruit and vegetable stand.
I find it tastes better than what you can buy in the grocery store
or from a discount store.
The stand is right around the corner.
A: Hello.
D: Hello. What can I do for you?
A: Where are these strawberries from?
D: They come from Baden-Württemberg.
There are various farms there,
from which we get our fruit.
Most of the kinds of fruit come from Germany,
but the bananas are from South America
and the pineapple are from Hawaii.
A: I would like two packages of strawberries,
a package of blueberries and five bananas.
D: (He packs the kinds of fruit into a bag.)
A: From where are these gigantic carrots?
D: They are also from Germany.
A: I will take a bundle of them and a head of cabbage.
D: Anything else?
A: No. That is all for today.
D: That makes €15.46.
A: €15 and €16 (He counts the money and gives it to the sales person.)
D: And 54 cents back. Have a nice day.
A: Thank you. You, too.
Now I have everything that I need.
I have ham and sausage,
which I can have for lunch with the rolls
and shish kebab, that I am grilling this evening.
The bread is for sandwiches.
I like to eat the cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
Once in awhile I also like to eat fruit.
Therefore I have strawberries, blueberries, and bananas.
I will grill the carrots this evening with butter.
I cut them in slices and pack them in foil.
That means I lay them in foil and fold the foil so that nothing falls into the grill.
Maybe I will show you in another video how one grills properly.
