Why? WELL! Because I had my first breakthrough, I ordered coffee beans from the Dallmayr, all in German! Yay me! I am becoming the brave, relaxed and fashionable (if I don't say so myself, more on that later) woman that I know I can be.
It went like this:
Me: "Grüss Gott, Ich hätte gern 500 gram von Ethiopian Crown bitte." (Good day, I'd like 500 grams of the Ethiopian Crown please.)
Cashier: "In die Bohnen oder der gemahlene?" (In whole beans or ground?)
Me (after a slight pause where I was trying to figure out what she asked): Uh, in die Bohnen, bitte" (Uh, in whole beans please)
Cashier: "Beutel?" (Bag?)
Me: Nein, danke. (No, thanks)
Cashier: Ok, Auf Wiedersehen (ok, goodbye)
Me: Auf Wiedersehen (goodbye)
I'm celebrating the little things, right? It's been a good week. This has been my happy song and I'm singing it now. "Leeetttt the sun shine....leettt the sun shine...the suuun shine in....."
