CBG 1:18 | Getting about town

In this week’s episode of Coffee Break German you’ll be learning to talk about public transport. In this lesson you’ll learn:

  • to ask what time the train or bus leaves and arrives;
  • to specify which train or bus you’re enquiring about;
  • to use a special construction which can be reused in many question situations;
  • about German Ampelmännchen, traffic light men, in our Cultural Correspondent section;
  • and to conjugate the verb sein (“to be”) in the present tense.
