Meeting in German
When you’re planning a meeting in German you need to know how to ask “when?” and “where?”. The Rocket German team have put together this easy-to-follow audio lesson so you can feel confident that you’ve understood instructions correctly.
We’ve included lots of useful vocabulary here, so take it slowly and practice saying the words aloud as you listen to the audio. Whether you’re making plans with German-speaking family, friends or colleagues, we’ll make sure you arrive on the right day at the right time!
