Numbers & Time
Count, tell the time, and talk about appointments.
Numbers and time make everyday life in Germany much easier: bus times, class schedules, opening hours, appointments, prices, and deadlines. This chapter teaches the most useful number patterns, how German builds numbers like einundzwanzig, and how to say when something happens. The focus is practical: understanding schedules and giving simple appointment times.
