Coffee Break German

Welcome back to Season 2 of Scenes from the Coffee Break German Café – willkommen in Staffel 2!

If you joined us in Season 1 then you will already be familiar with Erna’s Café - our charming German café, where the aroma of fresh coffee lingers, conversations flow, and life unfolds around every table. In this immersive series, you’ll follow a compelling story set in a local café and build your language skills naturally through storytelling.

We’re returning to Erna’s Café for a brand-new season of Scenes, filled with some surprises, familiar faces, and plenty of stories waiting to unfold.

Heute wird hinter der Theke eine neue Kasse getestet – mit Felix an unserer Seite. Auch privat hat er einen Schritt gewagt: das Gespräch mit seinen Eltern. Doch als ein Paar am Fenster zu streiten beginnt, wird’s plötzlich unruhig im Café. Erna bleibt wie immer gelassen – aber reicht ihr Smalltalk diesmal wirklich aus?
