00:00Yeah, I'm sorry, we're not that far here now, but more and more places, train stations, airports, have free Wi-Fi, so you must be pretty unlucky to not find free Wi-Fi when you're like flying in or coming by train.
00:16So yeah, bring your devices and in any case you can ask, sprechen Sie Englisch, please speak English, to find your way.
00:23Number five. Haben Sie freie Zimmer fĂŒr heute Nacht? Do you have any vacancies for tonight?
00:30Yeah, if you're going to a hotel, a hostel or, I don't know, an apartment and you haven't booked previously or a hat, then first of all you need to know if there's any space left for you or if you should go on and search for another place.
00:45If you don't want to crash on somebody's couch, so then go to the hotel, go to the reception, ask if there are free rooms and usually they should be able to help you out.
00:57Unless, I mean, you could also just walk through the streets and ring a doorbell and ask, haben Sie freie Zimmer? Do you have vacancies?
01:04But this might get you in trouble with police, I don't know.
01:07Number six. Könnte ich in ein anderes Zimmer wechseln? Could I move to a different room?
01:13If you're really unhappy with your room and you're like, oh gosh, no, I don't want to stay here, then you ask receptionist, hey, could I move to another room?
01:22It didn't happen to me so far. I was quite lucky whenever I was traveling, I had pretty nice rooms, but I have heard it happens.
01:30Like, if it's 30 or, I don't know, the neighbors of the other room are super loud, doing whatever, then it's legit to ask for a different room.
01:41If you want to change your room and you ask in German, they're probably even more willing to help you out.
01:46Number seven. Ich habe eine Reservierung. I have a reservation.
01:51Yeah, this is what usually is the case, not like previously when you had to ask if there's any room left.
01:58Usually you have a reservation and then everything works kind of itself.
02:02You just go to the desk, ask, hey, ich habe eine Reservierung.
02:06And then they'll be like, oh, okay, what's your name?
02:09And if you watch my other videos, you will know how to say your name in German.
02:14And then you can check in your hotel, all in German, all good.
02:17And you have a perfect start for your trip.
02:20Könnten wir das MenĂŒ haben, bitte?
02:22Could we have the menu, please?
02:24Yeah, going to a restaurant, you of course want to know what the food offering is before you just order anything.
02:31The waiter comes with the menu.
02:33And you can open it, search for your entry and for your drink, beer I'd recommend.
02:39And then, oh, what I'm going to eat, schnitzel.
02:42Eat schnitzel.
02:43Schnitzel is awesome.
02:44Good German food.
02:45I love it.
02:46Haben Sie Empfehlungen?
02:48Do you have any recommendations?
02:49Yeah, if you don't want to listen to my recommendation, eating schnitzel and having a beer, you can also ask the waiter for recommendations of the house.
02:59Often, even like special offers or a menu of the day, something like that.
03:06Yeah, just go ahead and ask for recommendations.
03:08Often, you even like will be surprised of some cool food you wouldn't have thought of if you have chosen by yourself.
03:14Now we're getting to the sad part of all the restaurant evening.
03:18Die Rechnung, bitte.
03:19Could I have the check, please?
03:21Yeah, of course.
03:21If you eat in a restaurant, in the end, there's always a payment.
03:25And if you want to ask for the check or for the bill in Germany, that's die Rechnung.
03:30So, you can just point out your finger to the waiter.
03:33Die Rechnung, bitte.
03:34And he will be happy to bring the bill.
03:37You can leave a little tip.
03:38We usually tip about like 10% and then everything is fine.
03:43Ich bin allergisch gegen ErdnĂŒsse.
03:46I'm allergic to peanuts.
03:48And if you're not sure whether there are peanuts in your food or not, it's a good idea to ask
03:59or just to raise the attention to the waiter.
04:02Hey, ich bin allergisch gegen ErdnĂŒsse.
04:05So, please don't bring me any peanuts.
04:08Number 12.
04:09Wasser, bitte.
04:11Water, please.
04:11Other than in the US, in Germany, it's not common that you get free water at the table during your evening in the restaurant.
04:20You always have to order it, unfortunately.
04:22So, whatever you want to drink, if it's beer, coke or just like water from the sink, you will always have to order it and pay it.
04:30So, um, don't expect the waiter to bring your water for free.
04:34If you order water, then it also will appear on the bill.
04:39But therefore, we used to have sparkling water, which in my opinion is way better than just sink water.
04:44Come on, it's so boring.
04:46Wie viel kostet das?
04:48How much is this?
04:49Yeah, if you're really thirsty, want the water, but are kind of out of money, then you should ask maybe how much it is.
04:55And then you can use this phrase, wie viel kostet das?
04:58How much is this?
05:00Or, yeah, anything in the souvenir store, there's like this stupid little thing you want to bring home,
05:05but you don't want to spend a fortune on it.
05:07Then better ask wie viel, how much is this?
05:10Wie viel kostet das?
05:11Oh, see, sun is coming out.
05:14Now is the right time to travel here.
05:16First learn the sentence, but then travel here.
05:19Yeah, you see when the sun is shining like this, you should pack your stuff.
05:25Ich möchte zehn von diesen.
05:27I'd like ten of these.
05:30Um, I remember when I went to Brazil, um, there's always this so-called fader.
05:35It's like a fair where they sell food and toys and everything.
05:40But then, of course, the most exciting for me were the fruits, because they had so many exotic fruits.
05:45And then I went there and like, oh, I had like ten of these and five of these and three of that.
05:50And there were fruits I've never seen, so I wanted to try.
05:52Um, so this might happen to you if you come here, that you see fruits or vegetables that are not so common in your country.
06:01Then you can really use the sentence.
06:02Yeah, you should always try the new stuff.
06:04Ich möchte das hier.
06:05I'd like this.
06:06Coming back if you're at the fair and you really don't know, like there's something you've never seen, but then you want to point at it and say you want this.
06:16And you want to impress the one who's selling you, the seller, speaking German, then you can just say, ich möchte dies.
06:23And he'll be like, cool, here you got it.
06:26Number 16.
06:28Könnten Sie mir einen Rabatt geben?
06:30Could you give me a discount?
06:31Also, this happens, we have flea markets where there's people sell their used stuff or even on the markets, on the Sunday farmer's market, whatever.
06:42Sometimes you can try to negotiate and it's, you can always ask.
06:46It's not impolite.
06:46If you feel like, oh, cool, this is a place where it's just common to negotiate a little, you can ask for discount.
06:52Even though don't expect too much.
06:54It's, I know in other countries it's common that, okay, the price is 20, but he's already happy if he gets 10.
06:59Yeah, no, here it's more like if the price is 20, you can maybe negotiate it down to 18 or...
07:05It always depends.
07:06Also, I mean, if you ask in German, probably you will waste your chances that you really get a discount, because they will appreciate your effort to speak German.
07:15Don't be pushy on it, but try and negotiate a little and you might get your discount.
07:20Nehmen Sie Kreditkarte?
07:21Do you take credit cards?
07:23You should definitely bring your credit card in most supermarkets and, yeah, stores, whatever.
07:28You can use the credit card, but still there's a lot of, like, smaller shops or the flea market, apparently they usually don't take credit cards.
07:37So it's not as widespread as in the U.S., but we're getting there.
07:43We still like our cash in our hands to see what we're paying with.
07:48It's also dangerous to always pay by credit card.
07:50You don't really see how much money you spend, especially on holiday.
07:54You're more like, oh, cool, I want to enjoy my time, spend some money here, spend some money there, and then credit card in.
08:00And then just returning home, you get the letter with all the money you spend, and you're like, oh, holy, that was a lot of money.
08:08Number 18, wo ist der Bahnhof?
08:11Where is the train station?
08:13In case you need to go back to the airport, want to take the train, and you don't know where the train stations are, then you're probably in trouble.
08:19So you should check beforehand on your map or, yeah, I don't know, take a cab or something.
08:26But maybe you're not light, maybe you have plenty of time, and then just want to find the way yourself.
08:31So you can go and ask, hey, where is the train station?
08:34You need to catch a flight.
08:36Entschuldigen Sie, wie hoch ist der Fahrpreis?
08:39Excuse me, what's the fare?
08:41In buses or trains, if you haven't bought your ticket previously ahead, then you might want to ask the driver, what's the price before we're taking it, to not be surprised later.
08:53Yeah, bus tickets in the city usually are, like, I'd say, 250 train tickets, apparently depend on how far you want to go.
09:03I think a train ticket from Berlin to Munich, for example, 50 euro, I guess.
09:09Depends also if you book ahead or not.
09:11But, yeah, if you ask the driver or anybody at the train station, you probably haven't booked ahead.
09:17It's always smarter to book ahead, then you can get way cheaper tickets, especially for trains.
09:22But in buses, usually, you don't really, you're not really able to book a ticket ahead, you just buy it right there.
09:31And, yeah, the driver in the bus always is happy to help you out when you're uncertain about the price.
09:37So just ask him.
09:40Number 20, selfie time.
09:42Könnten Sie ein Foto von mir machen?
09:45Could you take a picture of me, please?
09:47Yeah, nowadays, this question is not asked so often anymore, because you always do your selfies, right?
09:53You do that?
09:53Like, I could actually film all this in selfie, but I would be too shaky, I guess.
09:58But if you want a proper picture, maybe, of your group, with everybody in it, and not just this long selfie arm,
10:05then you should ask a stranger on the street.
10:10And I told you previously that most Germans know at least a little English, so they would understand if you have a camera,
10:16and say, oh, could you take a picture, please?
10:18That you all want them to take a picture of you.
10:21Good sentence to know if you're traveling alone, or with your partner, or in a group, and you want to have a picture,
10:26then just ask, oh, könnten Sie ein Foto von mir machen?
10:30Könnten Sie bitte ein Foto von mir machen?
10:32Going back home after your travel, you see, clouds are coming back, like I'm not in this bright sun anymore.
10:38Yeah, time to go home.
10:41Yeah, travel is over, let's go back home, and then bus to the airport.
10:47Have a good flight.
10:48I hope you enjoyed the lesson, it was fun.
10:50So, if you come to Germany, if you're traveling here now, you really know, like, some sentences here and there,
10:56you can, if your German is not that fluent yet, that you can spread in to, for you to enjoy your trip more,
11:02also for the people you meet, the Germans, to make them have a good time, seeing your effort, speaking German.
11:09I believe, whenever I travel to some country, I should know at least some sentences, so this is your entry card for the first trip to Germany.
11:18Yeah, if you want to learn more, subscribe to the channel at germanpop101.com.
