# First steps: Buying clothes

**Language:** German  
**CEFR Level:** A1  

> Master shopping for clothes by listening to Pia and Ralf's conversation about finding the right size. It may feel challenging at first, but by the end of this course you will be able to fully understand and participate.

**Setting:** A small clothes shop on a side street in Hamburg-Altona on a quiet afternoon. Pia came in to look around and Ralf is the only person working. Both hold Sie throughout.

## Lessons

### 1. Browsing without buying

Ralf offers to help, Pia says she is only looking, and then she spots a T-shirt.

### 2. Saying what size you are

Ralf looks for Pia's size and finds one at the back.

### 3. Asking for another colour

Pia asks Ralf what colours the T-shirt comes in.

### 4. Asking to try something on

Pia asks to try the T-shirt on, and Ralf points out the changing room.

### 5. Saying something is too big

The medium is too big, so Ralf fetches Pia a small.

### 6. Saying something fits well

Pia tells Ralf the smaller T-shirt is just right.

### 7. Buying what you chose

Pia buys the T-shirt and Ralf bags it up.
