PART 2 · LESSON 11 OF 30 · 31 MINUTES

No Flat, No Account

Max goes down to the personnel office about his salary, and Frau Lorenz needs papers he can't get yet. The tax ID comes after you register your address, registering needs a flat, and a bank account needs the registration too. That night Frau Weber has news about Room Four. Say what you need and what you haven't got, ask politely if someone has something, say what you need for what, say where an office is, and wish someone good luck.

This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
