  1. Lotte

    Translation

    So, what are we doing on Saturday? I suggest we go to the cinema.

  2. Kalle

    Ins Kino? Meiner Meinung nach ist das keine gute Idee. Ich will an den See.

    Translation

    The cinema? In my opinion that's not a good idea. I want to go to the lake.

  3. Lotte

    Translation

    But I think it's probably going to rain today.

  4. Kalle

    Das stimmt nicht ganz. Es soll erst am Abend regnen.

    Translation

    That's not quite right. It's only supposed to rain in the evening.

  5. Otti

    Eigentlich ist es mir egal. Hauptsache, wir diskutieren nicht den ganzen Tag.

    Translation

    Actually, I don't mind. As long as we don't argue about it all day.

  6. Lotte

    Translation

    Fine, so what are the reasons? The advantage of the cinema: it's dry.

  7. Kalle

    Translation

    And the disadvantage: it's dark and expensive. It's nicer at the lake, because we're outdoors there!

    Ich habe einen Vorschlag: Am Nachmittag gehen wir an den See und am Abend ins Kino.

    I have a suggestion: in the afternoon we go to the lake and in the evening to the cinema.

    Agreed. I'll take an umbrella anyway.

    Und wer weiß, ob es im Kino Popcorn gibt? Dann bin ich nämlich sofort dabei!

    And who knows if there's popcorn at the cinema? Because then I'm in straight away!

  12. Lotte

    Natürlich gibt es Popcorn, Otti. Also, abgemacht!

    Translation

    Of course there's popcorn, Otti. Right, it's a deal!
