Dialogue: Pete: Hey Markus. I have a question I'd like to ask you. Markus: Yes. Go ahead. Pete: Well, I'm thinking about going to Germany this summer [Great!], and I need some advice. You're the best person I know to answer my questions since you're German. Markus: Thank you. What do you want to know? Pete: Well, don't laugh, but I met this really nice woman through an online music mailing list, you know, a discussion group on the Internet [laughter]. I need some advice. You see, Claudia, ... Markus: Okay. So it's Claudia, oh? Pete: Yeah, yeah. See, she invited me to spend two weeks in Germany [Hum]. And well, I told here I had studied a little bit about the country and language [Hum], and she's kind of expecting that I know more than I really do. Markus: Hum. You're really in hot water now! Pete: Yeah. I think so. Markus: Well, what do you want to know? Pete: Well, she's planning on introducing me to her parents. Markus: Hey. Sounds kind of serious. Pete: It isn't, at least I think it isn't. Anyway, what should you do when you greet someone for the first time in Germany? Markus: Well, it depends upon your relationship with the person. Now, speaking of your girlfriend, Claudia, .... Pete: Hey, I didn't say she was my girlfriend. Markus: Ah, okay, okay. Now if you're meeting someone formally for the first time, like Claudia's parents, you should make sure you arrive on time. Pete: Okay, so arrive on time. Uh, what about common greetings? Markus: Well, Germans often shake hands, and they use the person's family name, unless they're really close friends. Pete: Okay, what about with Claudia? I'm not sure what I should do in her case. Markus: Ah. You can call her Claudia [Okay], shake hands, and why don't you take her some flowers? Pete: Oh, how do you say "Nice to meet you" anyway? Markus: Oh, "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen." Pete: "Ich freu me senselen...? " Markus: Uhhh. Not exactly. "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen" [Uhhh]. Markus: Humm. Honestly, I think you need to take a crash course... Question: Markus' final suggestion for Pete is that he should: - brush up on his German. - buy souvenirs for Claudia's family. - visit Berlin during his visit.
(Answer)
