  • 20 - Kaution weg? Diese Fehler beim Auszug musst du kennen | Deutsch A2–B1

    🔑 Moving Out in Germany: Will You Lose Your Deposit? | German Podcast A2–B1

    Are you planning to move out of an apartment in Germany?

    Then you need to understand words such as Kündigung, Kündigungsfrist, Wohnungsübergabe, Übergabeprotokoll and Kaution.

    In this episode of Deutsch Podcast 101 FM, Emil and Sophia explain the German language you need to terminate a rental agreement, prepare for an apartment handover and return your keys.

    But shortly before the handover, Sophia discovers a scratch near the living-room door. Will she lose part of her deposit—or can the old handover report prove that the scratch was already there?

    You will learn how to:

    🔍 Talking about damage:

    „Der Schaden steht im alten Übergabeprotokoll.“
    The damage is recorded in the old handover report.

    Please record the damage in the handover report.

    „Wann bekomme ich meine Kaution zurück?“
    When will I receive my security deposit back?

    „Benötigen Sie meine neue Adresse oder Bankverbindung?“
    Do you need my new address or bank details?

    📚 Important vocabulary:

  • 19 - 750€ für eine Wohnung? Lies diese Wörter nicht falsch! | Deutsch A2–B1 #118

    🏠 €750 for an Apartment? Kaltmiete or Warmmiete? | German Podcast A2–B1

    Looking for an apartment in Germany can be confusing—especially when you see words such as Kaltmiete, Warmmiete, Nebenkosten, Einbauküche or Zwei-Zimmer-Wohnung for the first time.

    In this episode of Deutsch Podcast 101 FM, Emil and Sophia examine a realistic apartment listing. Sophia believes she has found a two-room apartment for only €750—but has she understood the price and number of rooms correctly?

    You will learn how to:

    • understand German apartment listings
    • distinguish between Kaltmiete and Warmmiete
    • calculate the approximate monthly rent
    • understand how rooms are counted in Germany
    • ask what is included in the apartment
    • compare two different listings
    • contact a landlord politely
    • request an apartment viewing

    💶 Understanding the rent:

    die Kaltmiete — basic rent without additional service charges
    die Nebenkosten — additional building and utility-related charges
    die Warmmiete — Kaltmiete plus the listed Nebenkosten

    Example:

    750 € Kaltmiete + 180 € Nebenkosten = 930 € Warmmiete

    However, electricity, internet and some other costs may still have to be paid separately. Always ask exactly what is included.

    „Wie hoch ist die Warmmiete?“
    How much is the total warm rent?

    „Was ist in den Nebenkosten enthalten?“
    What is included in the additional charges?

    „Sind Strom und Internet in der Warmmiete enthalten?“
    Are electricity and internet included in the warm rent?

    🚪 Understanding the apartment:

    die Zwei-Zimmer-Wohnung — a two-room apartment

    In Germany, the living room normally counts as a room. A two-room apartment usually means one living room and one bedroom—not two bedrooms.

    die Wohnfläche — living space
    der Quadratmeter — square metre
    die Einbauküche — fitted kitchen
    möbliert — furnished
    unmöbliert — unfurnished
    ab sofort — available immediately
    frei ab … — available from …
    zentral gelegen — centrally located
    die Besichtigung — apartment viewing

    🗣️ Useful questions:

    „Wie viele Schlafzimmer hat die Wohnung?“
    How many bedrooms does the apartment have?

    „Gehört die Einbauküche zur Wohnung?“
    Is the fitted kitchen included with the apartment?

    „Welche Küchengeräte gehören dazu?“
    Which kitchen appliances are included?

    „Bleiben die Möbel in der Wohnung?“
    Will the furniture remain in the apartment?

    „Ab wann ist die Wohnung frei?“
    From when is the apartment available?

    „Wie weit ist die Wohnung vom Stadtzentrum entfernt?“
    How far is the apartment from the city centre?

    ✉️ Message to a landlord:

    „Guten Tag, ich interessiere mich für Ihre Wohnung. Ist die Wohnung noch verfügbar? Wann wäre eine Besichtigung möglich? Viele Grüße, [Name]“

    Hello, I am interested in your apartment. Is it still available? When would a viewing be possible? Kind regards, [name]

    ⚠️ Important reminder:

    Never look only at the largest price in the listing. Check the complete monthly cost, location, number of rooms, availability, kitchen and furniture. If an offer seems unusually cheap, ask questions and view the apartment before sending money.

    🎯 Useful sentence for comparing apartments:

    „Ich würde Wohnung B nehmen, weil sie zentral liegt und einen Balkon hat.“
    I would choose apartment B because it is centrally located and has a balcony.

    Which is more important to you: lower rent, a central location, more space or a fitted kitchen?

  • 18 - Du wartest auf den richtigen Moment – und verlierst Zeit | Deutsch Podcast A2–B1 #117

    Stop Waiting – Your Life Is Happening Now | German Podcast A2–B1

    Do you often say, “I’ll do it later”?

    Later, when you have more time. Later, when you have more money. Later, when your German is better or your life is less stressful.

    But what if the perfect moment never comes?

    In this reflective episode of Deutsch Podcast 101 FM, Emil and Sophia talk about postponed dreams, difficult decisions and the power of taking one small step today.

    While listening to slow and natural German, you will learn how to:

    • talk about plans, possibilities and decisions
    • say that you want to try something new
    • describe what gives or takes away your energy
    • stop waiting for the perfect moment
    • use practical German sentences in real conversations

    Three important ideas from this episode:

      There is not only one correct path in life.

      You do not have to change everything—start with a small test.

      Do not wait for a new life to enjoy meaningful moments.

    🗣️ Useful German sentences:

    „Worauf habe ich eigentlich gewartet?“
    What was I actually waiting for?

    „Es gibt nicht nur einen richtigen Weg.“
    There is not only one right path.

    „Vielleicht gibt es mehrere gute Möglichkeiten.“
    Perhaps there are several good possibilities.

    „Welche Zukunft macht mich neugierig?“
    Which future makes me curious?

    „Ich möchte das einfach mal ausprobieren.“
    I would simply like to give it a try.

    „Ich probiere es erst einmal aus.“
    I’ll try it first and see how it goes.

    „Ich muss heute noch nicht alles entscheiden.“
    I do not have to decide everything today.

    „Das tut mir gut.“
    That is good for me. / That makes me feel better.

    „Ich will mir dafür Zeit nehmen.“
    I want to make time for it.

    „Was hat mir heute Energie gegeben?“
    What gave me energy today?

    „Was hat mir Energie genommen?“
    What took away my energy today?

    „Ich kann gestern nicht ändern.“
    I cannot change yesterday.

    „Aber ich kann heute etwas Kleines tun.“
    But I can do something small today.

    „Ein kleiner Schritt ist kein kleines Leben.“
    A small step does not mean a small life.

    The courage sentence:

    „Ich fange klein an.“
    I’m starting small.

    📚 Important vocabulary:

    auf etwas warten — to wait for something
    etwas aufschieben — to postpone something
    etwas ausprobieren — to try something
    die Möglichkeit — possibility
    die Entscheidung — decision
    der richtige Weg — the right path
    neugierig — curious
    der Schnupperkurs — introductory trial class
    sich Zeit nehmen — to make time
    anfangen — to begin
    die Erfahrung — experience
    die Ausrüstung — equipment

    💡 Useful grammar patterns:

    „Ich warte auf den richtigen Moment.“
    I’m waiting for the right moment.

    „Ich nehme mir Zeit für meine Freunde.“
    I make time for my friends.

    „Ich probiere einen neuen Kurs aus.“
    I try a new course.

    🎯 Think of one thing you always postpone. Do not complete the whole goal today—just take the first real step. Send a message, find an appointment, book a trial class or spend ten minutes trying something new.

    Your life does not begin later. It is already happening now.

  • 17 - 15 Sätze, die Deutsche ständig sagen – aber niemand erklärt Deutsch A2–B1 #116

    🗣️ 15 Everyday German Phrases Native Speakers Use All the Time | A2–B1

    Do you understand the individual German words—but still wonder what the complete sentence really means?

    Native speakers often use short expressions such as „Mal sehen“, „Kommt drauf an“ or „Mach dir keinen Kopf“. These phrases sound simple, but their real meaning depends on the situation.

    In this episode of Deutsch Podcast 101 FM, Emil and Sophia explain 15 common German phrases for small talk, reactions, plans, appointments, requests and difficult moments.

    You will learn:

    • what each phrase really means
    • when and with whom you can use it
    • which expressions are informal
    • how shortened spoken German differs from textbook German
    • how to react more naturally in everyday conversations

    💬 Small talk:

      „Wie läuft’s bei dir?“
      How are things going for you?

      „Was gibt’s Neues?“
      What’s new?

      „Und sonst so?“
      What else is new? / Anything else?

    You can keep the conversation going with:

    „Ganz gut. Bei der Arbeit ist gerade viel los. Und bei dir?“
    Pretty good. Things are busy at work at the moment. How about you?

    😮 Natural reactions:

      „Echt jetzt?“
      Really? / Seriously?

      „Ach so!“
      Oh, I see!

      „Das gibt’s doch nicht!“
      No way! / I can’t believe it!

    A friendly example:

    „Ach so, jetzt verstehe ich.“
    Oh, I see. Now I understand.

    📅 Plans and appointments:

      „Kommt drauf an.“
      It depends.

    The complete form is:

    „Es kommt darauf an.“
    It depends.

      „Mal sehen.“
      We’ll see.

    ⚠️ Important: “Mal sehen” is not a definite yes. It means the person has not decided yet.

    If you need a clear answer, ask:

    „Kannst du mir bitte bis morgen Bescheid geben?“
    Could you please let me know by tomorrow?

      „Das passt für mich.“
      That works for me.

      „Bin gleich da!“
      I’ll be there soon!

    The complete form is:

    „Ich bin gleich da.“
    I’ll be there soon.

    If you need more time, be more specific:

    „Ich bin in ungefähr zwanzig Minuten da.“
    I’ll be there in approximately twenty minutes.

    🤝 Help, tasks and difficult moments:

      „Kannst du mir kurz helfen?“
      Can you help me for a moment?

    A more formal version is:

    „Könnten Sie mir bitte kurz helfen?“
    Could you please help me for a moment?

      „Das kriege ich hin.“
      I can manage that. / I can do it.

    A more neutral version is:

    „Das bekomme ich hin.“
    I can manage that.

      „Kein Problem, mach ich.“
      No problem, I’ll do it.

      „Mach dir keinen Kopf.“
      Don’t worry about it.

    This is an informal phrase used with friends, family and friendly colleagues.

      „So war das nicht gemeint.“
      That’s not what I meant.

    You can then explain your real intention:

    „Nein, so war das nicht gemeint. Ich wollte nur sagen, dass …“
    No, that’s not what I meant. I only wanted to say that …

    Most important lesson:

    Short German sentences can have meanings that are not immediately obvious. You do not need to understand everything perfectly—you learn these small differences through real conversations.

    🎯 Choose three phrases, repeat them aloud and use at least one of them in a real conversation this week.

    🎧 Learn German naturally. Understand native speakers. Speak with more confidence.
