About this listen
Dear German language student,
The Mastering German Conversation series is designed for students who - at a minimum - wish to be able to hold basic conversations in German. Our programs allow students to practice conversing in German to a much greater extent than what is possible in a classroom setting.
The progression of the course starts with simply repeating set phrases, which anyone can do. Then, we steadily bring the student to a place where he can formulate complete and accurate sentences in real-time conversation on his own.
In this unit, we focus on these modal verbs:
- können
- dürfen
- mögen
- müssen
- sollen
- wollen
- werden
- sich lassen
We continue to build your vocabulary in travel and shopping. We also work on placement of up to three verbs in one sentence.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.
