📲 Day 2 – Activity 2: Numbers in Daily Life & Fun Facts 🇩🇪

Willkommen zurück! 🎉 You’ve mastered counting from eins to zehn — now let’s explore how Germans use numbers in real life! From supermarket shopping 🛒 to counting coins 💶, these numbers are everywhere in daily German life! ❤️🖤💛

🛍️ Shopping & Prices in Germany

Numbers are everywhere when you shop in Germany! Let’s look at common examples:

• 💶 Das kostet zwei Euro fünfzig. — That costs €2.50.

• 🍎 Ein Kilo Äpfel kostet drei Euro. — A kilo of apples costs €3.
• 🍰 Zwei Stück Kuchen, bitte! — Two pieces of cake, please!

💡 Tip: Germans write decimals with a comma: €2,50 = “zwei Euro fünfzig”.

☎️ Everyday Numbers — Phones, Postcodes, & Addresses

• 📞 Telefonnummer: 12345 → “eins zwei drei vier fünf”
• 🏠 Adresse: Hauptstraße 20, München → “Hauptstraße zwanzig”
• 📬 Postleitzahl (PIN): 80331 München → “acht null drei drei eins”

💬 Germans usually say numbers one by one — especially for phone numbers and postal codes.
