Talking With The Locals: An Immigrant’s Guide To The Common Phrases Used In Germany

Despite the language barrier, many people still do their very best to make it to Germany and live there as immigrants. While the language barrier may be what has been pushing people away since it means that they would have to learn a new language all over again, this does not hinder those who are really bent on making it to the country. That is not surprising though as Germany is one of the top countries in Europe when it comes to discipline, safety, and economy. With this kind of combination, people feel that living in this country would be worth all of the sacrifices that they have to make to move there.

 

With the Germans very proud of their language, it is just respectful for new immigrants to go and learn the language since they would be using it in daily conversations with people when they are in the country. One cannot expect the people of Germany to be the one to adjust each and every time there are conversations. That is why it is highly recommended that people who are planning on becoming immigrants in this country in Europe learn even at least the basic phrases that could be used in daily conversations. With that, here are some of them.

 

Where is the nearest restroom?

 

In any case that a person needs to go use the restroom in an unfamiliar place and they do not know where to go, one can say, “Wo ist die nächste Toilette?”

 

Excuse me.

 

For a person who may want to pass by between two people talking or just to excuse themselves from something, they can say, “Entschuldigung.”

 

Which beer would you recommend?

 

With Germany being the country most known for beer and beer festivals, it is just right that a new immigrant knows what beer is the best. To do that, one can say, “Welches Bier würdest du empfehlen?”

 

Can I have a pretzel to go with my sausage?

 

A person may crave for some sausage and may want to have a pretzel to go with that. After all, these are two of the foods that are most popular in the country and trying them out together can happen. So to ask that, one can say, “Kann ich eine Brezel zu meiner Wurst haben?”

 

Where is the best techno club or spot in this city?

 

After a week’s worth of work or perhaps after a really stressful day at work, a person may want to have some fun and go dancing. Techno clubs may be what a person wants to experience while they are in Germany. To ask where to find the best one in the city that they are in, one can say, “Wo kann ich den besten techno Club der Stadt finden?”
