Hints
If you want something and like to sound polite instead of demanding, you can say ich möchte (I’d like) or ich hätte gern (I’d ‚gladly have‘):
Ich möchte hier studieren.
I’d like to study here.
Ich hätte gern eine Monatskarte.
I’d ‚gladly have‘ a monthly ticket.
You surely noticed some English translations are ‚weird‘. The purpose is to better match the German phrase so that you’re less confused by similar expressions like the two above.

There is a small typo in the “New Words” section, it says ‘neunzeh’ instead of ‘neunzehn’ (nineteen).
Changed! Thank you very much!
Why does ich come after nehme? Can you not say dann ich nehme die Wochenkarte?
Hi Scott!
The verb is always on the second position in German. In “Dann nehme ich die Wochenkarte.” the word “dann” is in the first position. So the verb “nehme” needs come be after it. The only place left to put the personal pronoun “ich” is now after the verb.
I hope that helps!
