Pete: Hey Markus. I have a question I'd like to ask you.

Pete: Well, don't laugh, but I met this really nice woman through an online music mailing list, you know, a discussion 3 group on the Internet [laughter]. I need some advice. You see, Claudia, . . .
 
Markus: Okay. So it's Claudia, oh?
 
Pete: Yeah, yeah. See, she invited me to spend two weeks in Germany [Hum]. And well, I told here I had studied a little bit about the country and language [Hum], and she's kind of expecting that I know more than I really do.
 
Markus: Hum. You're really in hot water now!
 
Pete: Yeah. I think so.
 
Markus: Well, what do you want to know?
 
Pete: Well, she's planning on introducing me to her parents.
 
Markus: Hey. Sounds kind of serious.
 
Pete: It isn't, at least I think it isn't. Anyway, what should you do when you greet 4 someone for the first time in Germany?
 
Markus: Well, it depends upon 5 your relationship 6 with the person. Now, speaking of your girlfriend, Claudia, . . . .
 
Pete: Hey, I didn't say she was my girlfriend.
 
Markus: Ah, okay, okay. Now if you're meeting someone formally for the first time, like Claudia's parents, you should make sure you arrive on time.
 
Pete: Okay, so arrive on time. Uh, what about common greetings 8?
 
Markus: Well, Germans often shake hands, and they use the person's family name, unless they're really close friends.
 
Pete: Okay, what about with Claudia? I'm not sure what I should do in her case.
 
Markus: Ah. You can call her Claudia [Okay], shake hands, and why don't you take her some flowers?
 
Pete: Oh, how do you say "Nice to meet you" anyway?
 
Markus: Oh, "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen."
 
Pete: "Ich freu me senselen. . ? "
 
Markus: Uhhh. Not exactly. "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen" [Uhhh].
 
Markus: Humm. Honestly, I think you need to take a crash 9 course in German before you leave. Claudia might think you're speaking Chinese or something if you don't.
