30: Ich bin doch kein Stalker! | I’m not a stalker!

Justify actions, reflect on a situation, read the 24-hour clock & possessive pronouns: dein(e), sein(e), ihr(e).
Paul tries to find Laura on Facebook. But it’s not easy, and he gives up. Also because this is making him feel like a stalker. Tim calls: He was on vacation. His mobile phone was switched off. Getting accused by Paul makes him angry. He can't have stolen the book because after the party he didn't even have a free hand to carry it. Paul regrets that he is so forgetful and not a good detective. Then he remembers Meili's answer from earlier in the group chat. She said she has a job, but Paul realizes that's not true: She’s only studies. The book is gone, and Tim didn't do it. Was it Meili?

31: Meine Hobbys sind ... | My hobbies are ...

Talk about hobbies, make small talk, four seasons & possessive pronouns: unser(e), euer/eure.
Paul meets Meili "by chance" near the university. He is more clever now: They make small talk about hobbies. He casually asks about Meili's job and apologizes for what he wrote earlier. It turns out that her message was just a misunderstanding: Meili doesn't have to work. Her parents pay everything for her. Then she remembers having seen a security camera in the hallway of Paul's apartment building! Will Paul be able to see who stole the book on the video from the security camera?

32: Das Video | The video

Talk about law and permissions, describe people’s actions & noun-noun composites: Wohnungseingang / Hausflur / Hausmeister.
Paul watches the surveillance video in the caretaker’s office. After the party, Meili and Tim didn't visibly carry his book when leaving his apartment. Neither did Anna and Fritz, but they each had a bag. Paul seems to think his book was in one of the bags. Fritz is a police officer. So the suspicion is narrowed down on Anna ... The book is gone, Tim and Meili didn't do it. Was it Anna?

The best way to learn German: Don't beat yourself up with too many new words
When writing a learning story it's easy to get carried away by an idea for a dialog. But that can result in an episode having way too many new words. That would be demotivating for you, the learner.Therefore we counted every word and went through endless writing and re-writing sessions for every episode to make sure that didn't happen to our story. If you want know why we spent over 1 1/2 years of work before we even published our first lesson, got to german-stories.com/the-best-way-to-learn-german

Months & demonstrative pronouns: dieser, dieses, diese.
Fritz and Paul are training in the gym. Fritz warns him not to keep upsetting their friends with his messages. Instead, he suggests a party at Paul's place. That way, he would have a chance to work things out in person with everybody. But Paul refuses. He thinks Anna stole the book. Fritz says, maybe he can help because he has an idea ... What is Fritz's idea? How does he want to help?

Learning German with training wheels
The characters in our story DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves. Why?They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls do.

He needs a vacation anyway and he could collect more information about her during the trip. But right now she's still angry and probably wouldn’t come along ... How can Paul get Anna to come along for the trip?

Fritz reads Paul's invitation email. He cleverly used the information about Anna's criminal record without giving away that he knows about it. He described his own theft as a child and the feelings of guilt that went with it. In doing so, he very skillfully created understanding for his situation. Fritz and Anna will join Paul on the trip to Berlin. But they don't know anything about the surveillance video or Paul’s intention. What exactly is he going to do in Berlin?

Learn German with Stories - the idea behind it
We felt that the best way to learn German is NOT using the old style teaching material with chapters full of tiny texts and unrelated stories. Our idea was to spoon-feed you German in very small bits. And to tell you parts of one big story at the same time. An awesome, full-blown story with different storylines that continues throughout all lessons. We wanted to keep you motivated and say "I can't wait to find out what happens next episode!"
