- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn German with Fexingo. Luna: Oh, thanks Lucas. It's good to be here again. Lucas: Yeah, totally. So, last time we covered 'nice to meet you' phrases, which was fun. Luna: Right, schön, dich kennenzulernen—I've been practicing that. Lucas: Exactly. Today, let's keep it super simple and tackle something we use all the time: numbers. Luna: Oh, numbers. That sounds useful. Lucas: For sure. We'll just do one through five today. Tiny steps, right? Luna: Yeah, I like that. Let's do it. Lucas: Okay, so number one in German is eins. E-i-n-s. Eins. Luna: Eins. That means one. Lucas: Exactly. Eins. Now say it with me: eins. Luna: Eins. Lucas: Perfect. Number two is zwei. Z-w-e-i. Zwei. Luna: Zwei. So that's two. Lucas: Right. Zwei. Try it: zwei. Luna: Zwei. Lucas: Nice. Number three is drei. D-r-e-i. Drei. Luna: Drei. Three. Lucas: Yeah. Drei. Your turn: drei. Luna: Drei. Lucas: Good. Number four is vier. V-i-e-r. Vier. Luna: Vier. Four. Lucas: Exactly. Vier. Say it: vier. Luna: Vier. Lucas: And number five is fünf. F-ü-n-f. Fünf. Luna: Fünf. That's five. Lucas: Right. Fünf. Give it a go: fünf. Luna: Fünf. Lucas: Awesome. Let's put them all together slowly. Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf. Luna: Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf. Lucas: There you go. Now a little faster: eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf. Luna: Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf. Lucas: Nailed it. Okay, let's use these in a tiny scene. Imagine we're at a bakery, like in episode three. Luna: Oh, I remember that—guten Morgen and all. Lucas: Yeah. So you point at pastries and count them. Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf Brötchen. Luna: Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf Brötchen. That means five rolls, right? Lucas: Exactly. Your turn—pretend you're counting. Luna: Okay. Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf Brötchen. Lucas: Perfect. Now another scene: counting people. Like at a small gathering. Luna: Oh, like after saying schön, dich kennenzulernen maybe. Lucas: Totally. So you say: eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf Personen. Luna: Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf Personen. That's five people. Lucas: Right. Try it out loud. Luna: Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf Personen. Lucas: Great job. Let's do a quick recap. I'll say the number in English, you say it in German. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: One. Luna: Eins. Lucas: Two. Luna: Zwei. Lucas: Three. Luna: Drei. Lucas: Four. Luna: Vier. Lucas: Five. Luna: Fünf. Lucas: Absolutely. Now count down from five to one. Luna: Fünf, vier, drei, zwei, eins. Lucas: Oh, that's so good. You've got this. Luna: Thanks. It feels solid. Lucas: Yeah, and remember, we only did five today—no rush. Practice these: eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf. Luna: Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf. I'll say them a few times today. Lucas: Perfect. That's all for this episode of Learn German with Fexingo. Thanks for joining us. Luna: Yeah, see you next time. Keep practicing, everyone. Lucas: Exactly. Bis später, and take care.
