How about translating some small dialogues like
- I was locked out of my apartment last night.
- How did THAT happen? Did you lose your keys?
- No. I left the keys in the apartment.
- Then how did you get in?
- I climbed in from the window.
- You what? Oh, my! You´re brave.
- Thank you. In fact, I didn´t realize I was such a good climber.
***********************
- May I help you?
- Yes. Do you have these shoes in size seven?
- I´m not sure. If you can´t find them on the rack, they may be out of stock. But let me look in the stockroom.
- Thanks. I´d like to try on a pair if you have them.
- I´ll be right back.
************************
- Good evening, sir. May I help you?
- Yes. What kind of rooms do you have?
- How large is your party?
- Three. Two adults and one child.
- Let´s see. We have a room with two double beds. How many nights?
- Just one. We´re only staying overnight.
