4 thoughts on “Lesson 04 – Coffee Break German”
Overall ok, but I find the explanation by the grammar guru insufficient. I understand that she wants to keep it simple but in this lesson, it does not help.
Mark what is the difference between (wohnen and lieben) both mean (to live),
I can say : Ich wohne in Berlin oder Ich lebe in Berlin.
@Asma
Wohnen means to live but as in a location. Ich wohne in Berlin.
Leben means to live in the sense of a breathing individual. Ich lebe, weil mein Herz schlägt. I live because my heart is beating.
Hope that helps.
