洛阳城里见秋风，欲作家书意万重。复恐匆匆说不尽，行人临发又开封。

洛阳城又一次到了秋风吹起的日子，客居异乡，不知家里的亲人生活得怎么样了。想要写一封家书报个平安，可想说的话实在太多，竟不知从何说起。
写好了信，可又怕匆忙之间没将自己要说的话表达出来。在捎家书的人快要出发时，又一次把家书拆开来进行检阅。

Online profiles, understand descriptions of people & irregular verbs: sein/haben, sentence type summary: declarative sentence, W-question sentence, yes/no-question sentence.

Paul reads the book he got from his parents. He doesn't find out why it’s valuable, and how valuable it is. He doubts the book will add style to his apartment. But his parents are right: he has no girlfriend. Paul is looking for a date and checks ‚Finder‘ profiles. Which girl does Paul like? Will she show interest?

Why we made German Stories
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!"

「お母さんは、人間は恐ろしいものだって
おっしゃったが　ちっとも恐ろしくないや。
だって僕の手を見てもどうもしなかったもの」

と思いました。
けれど子狐は いったい人間なんてどんなものか見たい
と思いました。
ある窓の下を通りかかると、人間の声がしていました。
何というやさしい、何という美しい、何と言う
おっとりした声なんでしょう。

「ねむれ　ねむれ
　母の胸に、
　ねむれ　ねむれ
　母の手に――」

子狐はその歌声は、きっと人間のお母さんの声に
ちがいないと思いました。
だって、子狐が眠る時にも、やっぱり母さん狐は、
あんなやさしい声で ゆすぶってくれるからです。
