First, listen to the dialogue with the text on the screen.

Hvad ønsker du dig til din fødselsdag?

Hmm, jeg ønsker mig en ny cykel.

Det er en god idé.

Tja, i virkeligheden ønsker jeg mig et kørekort, men jeg har alligevel ikke en bil så...

Nej, det er ærgerligt. Nå, men hvad kunne du tænke dig at lave på din fødselsdag?

Måske tage i biografen.

Det kan vi sagtens.

Men allerhelst vil jeg gerne prøve at køre din bil.

Aldrig i livet!

Now you'll hear the key vocabulary followed by the English translation.

Finally let's review the dialogue again, see if you can understand more this time.
