Warning: This script is designed to teach the subtle differences between words in German that sound, seem, or are very similar.
Person A says a lot of things that are dumb, but is corrected by person B.
Cool music.
A: I ate my night table yesterday naked.
B: Oh. All of your teeth still in there? Was anyone else there? That could have been awkward.
A: Huh?
B: You ate your night table?
That definitely did your teeth some good.
Isn’t your night table made out of wood?
A: Oh. I meant dessert.
I at my dessert yesterday naked.
B: And now there is still only a little problem.
“Nackt” means that you aren’t wearing any clothing.
I believe, that you probably meant, “night”.
A: Yeah, yeah, Mr. Duden. I ate my dessert last night. Shoot.
B: I’m supposed to shoot? With what? Why?
A: What, can I not even curse properly?
“Schießen” is like crap, right?
B: “EI” together says “I” and “IE” together says “E”.
So you mean “sch…”
A: Ich sehe.
Now I understand.
Now we both have to go to cherry, because we have said bad words.
B: In the cherry? I believe I have some of them in my kitchen.
A: Eww. I don’t like churches in my cake.
B: You are right there. A cake with churches would lay a bit heavy in the stomach.
A: Now I really don’t understand anything.
B: Kirsche - the fruit of the cherry tree,
which is small and round, grows on a long stem, has a red color and is sweet or sauer.
Kirche - a large building in which Christians hold their services.
Küche - the specially furnished room in an apartment or a house,
in which one cooks, bakes, prepares food and serve.
Kuchen - a pastry made of flour, eggs, fat, sugar and other ingredients.
A: I believe I understand everything.
I make my dessert in the kitchen and put it on the night table
if I don’t want to eat it during the day, but instead in the night.
I can shoot the ball into the goal, but I can’t sh…
B: Ice cream in a cone?
A: Yes, please. Do you have a cherry for that?
B: No, but there is a small store near the church.
There we can buy some cherries and cook some cherry cake in the church kitchen.
A: Cherry cake in the church kitchen? That is my favorite dessert.
B: While we are in the store, we also have to buy some cheese.
We pay for it at the counter.
A: Buying cheese at the counter. I’ll write that on the list.
B: Can you close the door?
A: (Shoots the door with a gun.)
B: What are you doing? Why did you shoot the door?
A: You said I was supposed to.
B: Shut! Not “Shoot!”
Schließen - to close.
Schießen - to let of a shot with a firearm
or to kick a ball with your foot in order to move it in a particular direction.
A: And if I lock the door, I use a key in order to close the lock,
but when I am eating my breakfast, I need a bowl.
B: Exactly. You close the lock with a key.
You shoot pellets with a gun.
And you eat cereal from a bowl.
A: Now I have to sleep in order to get all of this into my brain.
