Münster, What Are You Doing Today? | Easy German 595

We're back in our home town of Münster today. What are we doing today, Janusz? We're asking people how they're spending their day today. Münster, what are you doing today? Let's go! Let's go! Today we want to know how you're going to spend your day. What are you going to do? I'm going to go to the café now, have a coffee, read the newspaper or meet friends and acquaintances. And then I'm going home again and sit down at home and read. So you're basically spending the day reading. Quite a lot. I'm already relatively old. And you don't have that many friends anymore. Unfortunately, they're all dead by now. And then you get lonely to that extent. And then there's not much left. What's your plan for today? What are you doing today? I'm meeting a friend at the market now and we're having lunch. And then I have to continue studying for university. Then we'll meet. We'll be at the market in a minute. And what are you studying for university? I still have to finish a presentation, which I have to receive in two weeks. How are you spending your day today? Today I'm spending the day I just signed my employment contract. Wow! Congratulations! What are you going to become? A lawyer. How great! But you had to study for a long time, didn't you? Exactly. Relatively. I have total respect for this profession, because I really don't have enough brains. You almost need more discipline than brains. Great! And now your first job? Yes. What are you up to today? Today is a special day for us. My wife's birthday. Congratulations! And we got off at a nice country hotel and are now visiting Münster. We go to the museum in Münster, shop a bit and, as I said, have a special day. Beautiful! And where do you come from? We come from Wuppertal. It's not that far from here. But I've had contacts at the university here in Münster for a long time. And did you also study in Münster? No, I didn't. I studied in Bochum and Cologne. I went for coffee with my cousin and his girlfriend and my best friend and we had breakfast together. And later I'll go to the university and do a few things there. What are you doing here today? We go shopping in the city and look at shops here and there. And I'm looking for a sports uniform. Great! But you came from? Ascheberg. What are you doing in Münster? Shopping. And how did the shopping go? Did you buy good things here? Yes, we bought good things. And what's next for you today? Shopping. Shopping? And what about the offers? We go for offers. Not always. Not always? No, no, no. But you don't look like you're looking for offers. You look pretty well chosen. Thank you. And are you still going to the market? To eat fish or something? No, no fish. How did you plan your day today? Do you have any plans for today? We went to the café and now we're going shopping. What are you shopping for? What are you looking for? Good question. We definitely wanted to look at books right away. I just had my oral exam. Now the exam phase is over. Wow. Congratulations. But then it has to be celebrated. Yes, let's see. What are you studying? Communication Studies. And you? Medicine. How did you plan your day today? What did you do? What are you planning to do? We arrived from Iserlohn because we like to go to the Münsteraner Wochenmarkt. My husband is just bringing back the groceries. And now we're going to the city. And what happens in the city? We're going to have a nice cup of coffee and maybe have lunch. I don't know yet. And do a little bit of shopping. Because Münster has a large selection. And what does it look like in Iserlohn? In Iserlohn it is very lean. The huge department store that we had is broken. Everything is torn down. The new one will be built sometime in five years. We still have one toy store. Bakers and hairdressers are like sand on the sea. Otherwise the city has come down a lot. Unfortunately, God is not clean. No, it's not nice anymore. What did you plan for today? What are you doing today? Go shopping. And have a nice day in the city. And go eat something. And eat what? Yes. What we eat? Probably fries. Delicious. Fries and the bratwurst too? No, I don't eat meat. Okay. I'll take the bratwurst. I'm spending my day in Münster with my class today. I explore the city and the history and then we go home. And why with your class? Do you live in Münster or do you visit Münster? We visit Münster. We come from near Dortmund. And we visit it today to commemorate the Second World War and the victims. Oh, what happened? We met Doro and her daughter Kari very spontaneously. And we ask, what are you planning for today? What are you doing today? Oh, we're having a wonderful day together, Kari and I. A day in the city. Then we go to the market right away. On Wednesday there is a beautiful market here in Münster. We will buy a few specialties there. And what are we doing? We have to work for Easy German. Right. And in the late afternoon at 6 p.m. there is the beginner conversation call. And if you feel like it, you are cordially invited. I will moderate the call today and I would be very happy if you were all there. Fantastic. I'm in. Kari, you too? Not today, but another time. Ah, you're not there today. What are you doing then? How do you plan your day? You always meet, when you come to Münster, you meet your friends. I'll go to my friends in a moment and greet their newborn daughter. Then I'll go home quickly and have an appointment with Manuel and our lawyer. Then we have our team meeting. And then we have an appointment with our members this evening. The day is packed. Wow. Okay, then I'm going to eat a fish now, on the market. I agree with that. Great, then ... That reminds us of our Sylt holiday, Janusz. A mackerel roll. Or a matjes. Yes. What we find, yes? Okay. Come on, let's go. By the way, there are such weekly markets in many German cities. They take place once or twice a week. And then the farmers from the area come and sell their things. My mother is buying olives here, for example. And that's always a nice place where people from the neighborhood or the city meet. Mom, where are we now? We are now in Käsestraße and I am now going over to the Dutchman and will buy delicious cheese there. Yes, then buy delicious cheese. While Mom is buying cheese, I wanted to ask you, do you actually like to watch videos with subtitles, like ours? If so, I have a great tip for you. The platform Lingopie provides films and series and prepares them especially for language learning. You can then watch German films and series with two-language subtitles, just like we do. Not only that, you can even click on the subtitles, translate words and then add them to your vocabulary. If you want to test this, you should definitely do it via our link, lingopie.com. There you get a huge discount and can test the whole thing for free for seven days. What are you doing today? I think we have a learning break today. We were at the university, in the library and I was at home learning and now drinking a little coffee and eating something. You are students. Yes, that's right. And we are just learning for our first state exam and that's why we spend the whole day in the library. The first state exam, what is that? This is the first big, important exam in our studies. We have a total of three of them. And what are you studying? Medicine. So you're going to be doctors. That's right, exactly. The plan. That's the plan, exactly. What are your plans for the day? My plans for the day? Make deliveries, then go back to the office and then celebrate my birthday. Who has a birthday? My mom. That's great. How old will she be? Good question. She will be 83. What are you doing today? I am in Münster today and met with colleagues. And this afternoon, yes, I'm still in the garden a little bit. And this evening I sing in the choir. And this afternoon you are in the garden, in February. What do you do in February in the garden? Oh, there's a lot to clean up. Yes, and cut trees. At the moment it's plus degrees again, you shouldn't cut at minus degrees. What are you doing today? I go to the market to shop a bit. Then I go to my girlfriend and we study math together. Math? Do you study math? No, my girlfriend. And I try to help. And why can you do math? Because I learned it at school, at university. Yes, not that good either, but sufficient. Doro and Janusz bought a fish bun on the market. Fresh meatballs. A fish meatball. I like Janusz's face best when he bites into something big. Then he always looks like this. Yes, like a lion. And does it taste good? Tastes totally delicious. Lots of onions, lots of remoulade, lots of cucumbers. The people you're interviewing are looking forward to the smell. Do you already have plans for tonight? No. Doro, I have a plan. I'm going for a run with a friend. Jogging? Yes, exactly. Yes, here in the stadium or on the sports field. Well then, have fun tonight. Thank you. And what are you doing tonight? Is there a party? No, but I'm going bowling with my friends. And then I'll probably meet up with her to go eat something. And then I'll meet up with other friends, because we want to play Cluedo. Probably a relaxed film evening. Enjoy the quiet and do nothing. Totally beautiful, yes. Typically Münster. Münster students, just chilling. You said you're going to sing in the choir tonight. What kind of choir is that? A shanty choir. Oh, wow. Yes, but he sings more seaman's songs. The shanties, that's such a thing. Can you explain that to someone who doesn't know what that is? Shanty is a work song that the sailors used to sing on the ships to show off their manhood. Women weren't on the sailing ships. And that means the lead singer is tuning something, always in the same rhythm. How did you plan your evening today? Not together, because she doesn't come from Münster anymore. We've seen each other again after a long time, so we're definitely separated from each other. I'm spending the evening with my dog and my partner on the couch. Totally cozy. Wednesday is actually how we make it. That's right, that's right. Tonight I will probably spend the evening with my siblings and my cat. A few homework, nothing exciting. Are you already a student or are you still going to high school? We're still going to high school and we're graduating this year. Can you sing us a song so we can imagine what it sounds like? And then it comes. They also sing in English. Yes, the Shantys are all English, because they were mostly English ships. Now it's your turn. What are you doing today? Write us a comment. And if you want to practice speaking German, then take a look at the Easy German Conversation membership. You can meet Doro there, among other things, and you can practice German with her every day. I would be happy. Bye, dear people, and see you soon! Bye!
