CBG 1:38 | Haben Sie etwas ungewöhnliches gegessen?

It’s time for a new lesson of Coffee Break German and in this episode Mark is feeling a bit under the weather. He and Thomas visit the pharmacy for some advice. The pharmacist asks Mark if he has eaten anything strange or if he has done anything out of the ordinary, and this provides an opportunity to look at one way of talking in the past in German. In this lesson you will:

practise words and phrases used when asking for advice;
review language used for talking about illness and parts of the body;
find out about how to talk about what you have done using the perfect tense;
practise different conversational structures.
