What Immigrants Need To Learn: Common Phrases And Sentences Used In Germany

One of the obstacles that immigrants who have made their way to this country in Europe would be the language. Germans are known to be quite proud of their language but that should not hinder anyone from wanting and planning to move to Germany. It is one of the best countries in Europe to live in so the language should not be a barrier in any way, especially if there are guides like this one right here that can help immigrants and potential immigrants learn at least even the basics of the German language.

 

The basic phrases and sentences that are often used in Germany should be something that immigrants need to learn to be able to at least get by on a daily basis in the country. Of course, in the long run, they would get to learn more and even more complex ones. However, for the time being, the basic ones should suffice.

 

So without further ado, here are some of those phrases and sentences that immigrants should be familiar with.

 

Getting to the station

 

For people in Germany who would like to know if they are going the right way to get to the station, the right sentence to ask the locals would be Ist das der richtige Weg zum Bahnhof? This would help a person know if they would need to change directions or continue on as they are on the right path.

 

Asking someone to repeat what they said

 

In case someone did not quite understand what the other person said and he/she wants the other person to repeat what they said, the best thing to say would be Kannst du das bitte wiederholen? It actually can be translated in English to Could you repeat that please? That way, the other person can repeat what they just said and the one requesting it would be able to better understand what it meant.

 

Apologizing

 

In case there is a need to apologize for something, a person in Germany can say sorry by saying this, Es tut mir leid. It actually just means that the person is sorry.

 

Expressing that they are looking forward to seeing a person

 

After a meetup and a person wants to say that they would like to see the person as soon as possible or they are excited to see that person as soon as possible, the best way to do that would be to say, Bis bald! It actually translates in English to See you soon!

 

Wanting to know where a person is from

 

People in Germany who would like to know where a person is from, the informal way to do that would be to say, Wo kommst du her? On the other hand, if it is a formal way to say such, it would be, Woher kommen Sie? This, in English, means Where are you from?
