LISTENING PRACTICE for Intermediate to Advanced Learners of German

Herr Robert has been headwaiter at Vienna's Café Landtmann for many years. He is about to retire, and he will be missed, as we learn in this audio selection from the German audiomagazine Schau ins Land. This selection will let you hear an Austrian accent and will also acquaint you with German restaurant vocabulary, plus some terms unique to the Austrian or Viennese dialect.

Listen to the sound file by clicking the link below. (If you don't have the correct plug-in or software, your computer should prompt you to download it in order to listen.) Then use the transcript, study guide, and other help pages in this section to increase your understanding of what you hear!
