If
you are considering GERMANY
IMMIGRATION, then it would be a good idea to look for some good sources
to learn German. After all that’s the language that is predominantly spoken in
the country. Most visitors and newcomers to Germany note with relief that
almost everyone speaks English in the big cities such as Berlin and Frankfurt.
However, if you decide to move around a bit and explore rural Germany, you will
find that it would be helpful to learn a few phrases in the local language. We
bring to you 10 essential phrases that every new migrant or visitor should
know.
1. Darf ich mal vorbei?
This phrase which literally
translates as ‘May I pass through’ or ‘may I pass by’ is a useful one when you
are jostling through people while waiting for the U-Bahn or on a crowded
railway station. Many of those who newly immigrate to Germany, use Entschuldigung, the German
word for ‘sorry’ in this context, but if you want to come across as a local then
this phrase should do the trick.
2. Einen Augenblick, bitte!
This phrase which means ‘wait a
minute’ is a useful one to have in your repotoire as you navigate your way
