    Exhausting! Our first concert is in two weeks, so now we rehearse twice a week.

    I had no idea you were so musical. How long have you been singing in a choir?

    Only since the spring. A friend of mine was already a member, so I joined too.

  5. Otti

    Und welche Lieder singt ihr beim Konzert?

    And which songs are you singing at the concert?

    Old folk songs and a new song that I sing on my own. The conductor thinks my voice suits it well.

    A solo? Great! Won't you have stage fright?

    I will, terribly! When I sang the song in front of everyone for the first time, my voice was shaking. I hardly dare perform on my own.

    You know what? I'll come with you to the performance and sit right at the front.

    That would be sweet. But please don't fall asleep during the slow songs!

    Ich? Niemals! … Na gut, ich trinke vorher einen großen Kaffee.

    Gute Idee. Und danach feiern wir gemeinsam - der ganze Chor und du.

    Good idea. And afterwards we'll celebrate together - the whole choir and you.
