Here is a short story using the present perfect continuous tense.

00:05.160 --> 00:10.600
Listen as I read so you can see how they are used in real life conversation.

00:10.800 --> 00:17.580
After I'm done make sure you understand all the grammar and read aloud yourself so that you can work

00:17.670 --> 00:20.790
on your own fluency and pronunciation

00:23.220 --> 00:24.230
Hey Pam.

00:24.240 --> 00:25.620
Long time no see.

00:26.460 --> 00:27.880
Oh hi Steve.

00:28.260 --> 00:30.390
Yeah that's true.

00:30.390 --> 00:32.670
What have you been doing lately.

00:32.670 --> 00:38.850
Well I've been trying to find a job in Germany for the past six months but it's really difficult to

00:38.850 --> 00:42.540
find something with my level of German.

00:42.550 --> 00:44.730
How long have you been learning it.

00:44.800 --> 00:48.120
I've been learning it on my own for a year.

00:48.190 --> 00:55.900
Come to think of it I've heard some really good comments about our local speaking club who haven't heard

00:55.900 --> 00:56.710
of it.

00:56.710 --> 00:57.980
I'll check it out.

00:58.030 --> 01:00.730
Maybe we could grab a cup of coffee next week.

01:01.240 --> 01:02.250
Yeah sure.

01:02.380 --> 01:03.780
I'll give you a call.

01:03.790 --> 01:04.810
Bye.

01:04.810 --> 01:05.910
Sounds great.

01:06.340 --> 01:06.790
Bye.
