Script:

For those of you who are only going on vacation to Germany or who are just going on a short business trip or for those of you who are only planning to stay a temporary time in Germany, this lesson is going to be very useful for you because we are not going to go very deep into the German language. I'm just going to teach you the most essential phrases that you need to know in order to survive in Germany, okay? Alright, let's get started.
The first very important phrase that you need to know is: Guten Tag! Because I am sure you are going to be using this a lot, if you go into a store, like a very small store, like a boutique or something, you would be using that phrase, or wherever you go to greet someone, and you are bound to greet people who you don't know, so in that case you would always be using: Guten Tag! Alright?
I've covered all the different greetings in another video so I'm not going to cover all the greetings right now, just the most important ones, okay?
So we have: Guten Morgen! Guten Tag! Guten Abend!
These are three formal greetings.
And then we have: Hallo! (to younger people, kids or just if you are in a more relaxed environment)
If you want to say good-bye you would say: Auf Wiedersehen! (which is also used in a formal environment or whenever you are talking to strangers)
We also have: Tschüs! (which is an informal way of saying good-bye)
So those are the most important phrases: Guten Morgen! Guten Tag! Guten Abend! Hallo! Tschüs! Auf Wiedersehen!
Let's go over to the next point.
You are going to want to say "Excuse me" whenever you are asking someone a question or if you want to know the way, how to get to a place. Whever you are asking a stranger a question, you will want to use the phrase "Excuse me". In German, we say: Entschuldigung.
So when you are going up to someone, you would be saying it in this intonation: Entschuldigung!
Of course, after that you are going to have to say something. So most of the time, you are going to be looking for a place, like a train station or a subway station or a museum or a gas station, whatever. I'm going to give you the most important locations that you need to know. So first of all: Many tourists are always looking for the train station. So in that case, you would be saying: "Ich suche den Bahnhof" which means "I am looking for the train station." "Ich suche" (I am looking) "den Bahnhof" (the train station)
So the complete phrase would be: "Entschuldigung. Ich suche den Bahnhof." I'll say that very slowly. "Entschuldigung. Ich suche den Bahnhof." Next one.
"Entschuldigung. Ich suche die Tankstelle." (Excuse me. I am looking for the gas station.) "Entschuldigung. Ich suche die Tankstelle."
"die" is a definite article. I am covering definite articles in another video as well.
If you want to say: "I am looking for a gas station" as opposed to "I am looking for the gas station", you would be saying: "Entschuldigung. Ich suche eine Tankstelle." Next one.
If you are looking for a hotel, you would be saying:
"Entschuldigung. Ich suche das Hotel 4 Jahreszeiten."
Most of you are going to be looking for an ATM when you are here in Germany. So the phrase would be: "Entschuldigung. Ich suche einen Geldautomaten." I am gonna say it real slow.
"Entschuldigung. Ich suche einen Geldautomaten."
Subway stations are also very common in big cities such as Berlin or Cologne or Munich. The phrase would have to be: "Entschuldigung. Ich suche die U-Bahn-Haltestelle." I am going to say it real slow: "Entschuldigung. Ich suche die U-Bahn-Haltestelle." which means subway station. "Die U-Bahn-Haltestelle" means the subway station. Now you might be looking for the city center. In German, city center is "die Innenstadt". The phrase would be: "Entschuldigung. Ich suche die Innenstadt." You might be looking for a travel agency. The phrase would be: "Entschuldigung. Ich suche ein Reisebüro." I am going to say it real slow. "Entschuldigung. Ich suche ein Reisebüro." You might be looking for a supermarket. The phrase would be: "Entschuldigung. Ich suche einen Supermarkt." And real slow. "Entschuldigung. Ich suche einen Supermarkt." If you want to look for a bakery, you would have to ask: "Entschuldigung. Ich suche eine Bäckerei."
