I need a charger for my phone

To the next lesson

The next sentence: Necesito un cargador para mi móvil, por favor.

First the word necesito, so that you do not mix up “I would need” with “I would like”: you see people in traditional costume – in German, “bräuchte” (would need) sounds like “Brauchtum” (folk tradition). They are sitting in the fog (“Nebel”) by a lake (“See”) eating tomatoes (necesito).

A photo of this scene hangs at reception. The people count the fish looking out of the lake, take out the odd-numbered ones – “ungerade” in German (un) – and put them on a cart (“Karren”) that drives into a garden (“Garten”). There a lady holds the fish to her ear (“Ohr”) to check whether they are fresh (cargador).

Then a paraglider arrives (para) and hands the lady a glass of milk (mi) with a mobile device in it (móvil). She throws the mobile device through a gate (por favor).
