About this ebook
In this sequel to "Momente in München", Dino travels up north to Hamburg, Germany's second largest city and home to one of the biggest ports in Europe.
Fresh off the train, he stumbles over an apartment offer which seems too good to be true, but of course there is a catch. Coping with new neighbors and a strange dialect, he soon begins to wonder whether he bit off more than he can chew.
Stroll through the city of Hamburg, learn about local sights and sounds, and improve your German effortlessly along the way!
This book is designed to help beginners make the leap from studying isolated words and phrases to reading (and enjoying) naturally flowing German texts. Using simplified sentence structures and a very basic vocabulary, this collection of short stories is carefully crafted to allow even novice learners to appreciate and understand the intricacies of coherent German speech.
Each chapter comes with a complete German-English dictionary, with a special emphasis on collocative phrases (high frequency word combinations), short sentences and expressions. By working with these “building blocks” instead of just single words, learners can accelerate their understanding and active usage of new material and make the learning process more fluid and fun.

1. Das Venedig des Nordens
~
„Willkommen im Venedig des Nordens", stand auf einem vergilbten Poster. Daneben hingen alte Postkarten mit Bildern von Segelschiffen und Fischerbooten.
Ich saß in einer kleinen Kneipe im Hamburger Hauptbahnhof. Es war drei Uhr nachmittags und draußen tobte ein Gewitter. Der Regen hatte genau in dem Moment begonnen, als ich aus dem Zug stieg. Was für ein Glück! Nun wartete ich, dass es aufhörte, aber der Himmel war schwarz und es blitzte und donnerte. Von wegen Venedig!
Die Kneipe hieß „Zum Klabautermann". Ich war der einzige Gast. An einer Wand hing ein rostiger Anker und ein paar Seile. Hinter dem Tresen stand eine
