Welcome back to the life of Cari and Janusz.
We are in a mall today, in the Mall of Berlin.
Where are we, Janusz?
And why is it called in English, actually?
I don't know either.
We are in the middle of Berlin, in the Mall of Berlin, and we are going to ...
Let's go!
Janusz, have you ever been to this mall?
Actually, I've been here once, but because I was alone, without you, it was boring.
I've never been here before and I'm looking forward to it.
Come on, let's see what's there.
This is the escalator.
Janusz is going upstairs on the escalator.
Janusz, we finally have time together in the mall.
What would you like to do?
I want to find shoes and I want to find shops where I can feel the desire,
oh, I have to come here again.
I have to come here again.
Okay, I have to go to the toilet.
Ah, important things.
There you see, customer toilet straight ahead.
Bye!
Customer toilet, second OG.
OG means?
Upper floor.
We are in the first OG.
We have to go higher.
We found the toilet, but it costs one euro.
That's a scandal, Janusz.
Not in the meantime.
In the meantime, unfortunately, this is the normality.
In Germany?
Yes.
But not in a mall, in a department store you have to provide a toilet for the customers for free.
Nowhere.
With the galleries here you have to pay just as much.
Really?
Yes.
I don't think that's good.
I'm still going.
Here.
Okay, have fun.
We discovered a barber shop in the mall.
Shall we send you there, Janusz?
I beg you, my beard is way too long.
Janusz is now at the hairdresser's.
Janusz, is your beard being cut?
Yes.
And what's your name?
My name is ... I'm Rawat.
Rawat, like our cameraman Rawat.
Janusz's beard is shaved.
And that's my time to go.
Janusz, I'm going shopping.
Yes, but I'm done in two minutes.
Bye!
While Janusz is in the barber shop, we discover the food court.
In German you say food area, but here in the mall everything is in English.
This is the food court.
There are many different food options here, for example fries.
And there is kebab kebab here.
There is Indian food here.
And there is Thai food here.
Even more kebab.
This shop is called Hüftgold.
There are burgers here and Hüftgold is a very nice word for bacon,
namely bacon that you have on your stomach.
It comes from the burgers.
Janusz is done.
How do you like your beard?
I don't know yet because I haven't seen it.
Now the glasses open.
Good!
Wow!
Pretty neat.
Awesome, isn't it?
I'll do it again and again. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Janusz, where are we going now?
We want to have coffee now.
Do we want that or just you?
When you learn German, it is important to learn vocabulary
and you need a method for that.
I recommend our partner app Seatlang.
There are really a lot of vocabulary
and above all you can learn the vocabulary by the levels.
You just go to the vocabulary area,
click on A1 or A2
and then you can learn and repeat these vocabulary from this level.
Try it out.
Download Seatlang on your mobile phone.
Seatlang is available in the Play Store from Google
and in the App Store from Apple
and you can just try it out for free
because the basic functions of this app are completely free.
Janusz goes from store to store.
He's in the mood for shopping.
Janusz dreams of this jacket.
Come on, Janusz, we're going down.
With pleasure, with my new beard.
Look, Janusz, there's a Lego store here.
Do you like Lego?
I don't, but Manuel does.
There was no Lego during my childhood.
Too bad. Here is the Mona Lisa from Lego.
Looks great, but it's probably very boring
to bring a child to assemble something like that.
Why children? Adults build that.
Then it's okay. Then it's your own fault.
Finally a store that interests me.
Here we see a furniture store or a home accessory store.
Bye, see you in two hours.
Here we have a store that Janusz should be interested in.
There are kitchen appliances here.
A paradise, a house paradise. Bye.
Janusz loves to buy expensive pans,
and I don't quite understand that.
Janusz is being consulted.
He wants to buy a pepper mill.
Janusz.
A lifelong dream come true.
And even better than I ever dreamed,
because not only are pepper and salt mills,
but they are also electric.
And a special offer, super cheap, 20 euros.
Instead of 80, the others cost 80.
An electric pepper mill, was that your lifelong dream?
Yes, totally, because I recently learned
to use something for peppers.
I never did that before.
And then I read that you should grind pepper,
because then it is fresh and really aromatic.
A lifelong dream come true.
Bam!
I discovered a perfume store.
Kari, stop it and see you soon.
Now Janusz wants to buy perfume?
Janusz, I heard how you said to the saleswoman,
for the first time in my life ...
I'm in a perfume store.
Really?
Yes.
And where did you get the perfume from before?
I always got it from my in-laws,
for Christmas.
Then that was enough for the whole year.
And the saleswoman answered, hallelujah!
We met Yasemin.
Yasemin, where are you from?
I come from Turkey.
Do you also speak slow German?
Well, I try to speak faster,
but that's not so easy.
That is, slow German is your German first, of course.
Yes, maybe.
What are you doing in Berlin?
I'm doing Erasmus here.
I'm here for my studies.
What are you studying?
I'm studying medicine.
And what are you doing here in the mall?
Well, I need some new clothes.
Yes, I'm looking.
New clothes in the singular or new clothes in the plural?
Oh, new ...
I'm learning that too, together with you.
No clothes in the plural.
Thank you very much.
New clothes.
Or clothes, yes?
Yes.
Well, sensational!
Hallelujah!
Now we're going to the basement.
Yay, lots of toy stores.
There are souvenir shops,
Krimz stuff shops
and DM.
That's where I'm going now.
I've finally found a drugstore.
Full hit, full hit.
DM even stands for drugstore.
Ah, wow.
And now I'm going in there and finally buying myself a hand cream,
because my fingers are so dry.
Bye!
Okay, bye!
Look, guys,
I bought myself a hand cream and a water
together for only 1.45 euros.
That's cheap.
There is even an Aldi here in the mall.
Yes, when I came to Germany in 1984,
Aldi was a billo shop, a cheap shop.
A billo shop, what is that?
I think that's a kind of slang, I learned it from you.
But now Aldi is a first-class business,
wonderful, with a huge assortment.
Sortiment, without A.
Sortiment.
With a huge assortment.
Wow, look, Janusz,
here on the east side of the mall
there is a large toy store
and a huge slide over two floors.
Totally beautiful.
I would have dreamed of that as a child.
Me too.
Janusz, did you like our trip to the mall?
It was really nice and nice.
And exciting, a bit too.
And your lifelong dream came true.
You now have an electric pepper sprayer.
Actually, the story behind it is
that I always wanted to buy it
and constantly forgot to order it on Amazon.
And suddenly here I see, ah, there they are.
Shit on Amazon, I'm going to the mall.
Right.
That's it, dear people.
Thank you for watching again.
