Can you come up with more usable phrases in Germany? Comment below!
I think that almost nobody would actually ask "Wieviel kostet das?", even though that's what your German teacher would teach you. In my experience, people usually ask _"Was_ kostet das?" ...
I guess you didn't want to set a bad example? :D
Not so important also people say how expansive is that ... no one is Bad with someone because he Made just a little fault . Its not so in germany , the people is not fast angry . When someone is just friendly everything is ok . German peopel ever try to help .people in other coutries is also good ...the normal simple people is good worldwide , we See war's in the past and since many thousand years . They are all Made from governments and right now they try again to make war everywhere ... we should get to know so many people from other countries we can .... than we will see . All the normal simple people want just live in Peace and have enough food and maybe a little House. Is german people Bad because of the past ? Is us people Bad because the government make war everywhere ? .... no every war was Made from governments Not from the normal people .... maybe what is not so good when people from one country live in another , because the governments use this to bring hate between diffrent people .

German = easy :D. We like your last example the best! :D
I read this from a meme
In the last example you would actually say: (wie bitte ?!?) It roughly means: *Dafuck you just say ?!?*
There is quite a similar video with the austrian "Oida!"
@@manuelr.7461 'wie bitte?!' wäre die Antwort, im Kommentar ist aber die Übersetzung gemeint.
""Entschuldigung" or in short "Tschuldigung"" damn those 2 letters, we really know how to shorten words
It is more about syllables than letters I think.
Actually the short version is written "Tchuligom"
Guten Abend or Nabend.
it reminds me of "entchen" 🦆
Wichtigster Satz:
Ein Bier bitte.
Ehren Mann is also important
Du hast das Schnitzel vergessen

"Hä?" is just the short version for "Hätten sie die Güte dies zu wiederholen?" (Would you be so polite to repeat this?)
Best explanation ever!!!!!!
Schon lang nimmer so gelacht!!!
But "hä" is like really unpolite. You could say it to good friends but you should never to strangers🙈
Wie bitte ist eine höfliche Form
This is not the yellow from the aeg
the pleasant form of "Was? or "Hä?" is "Wie bitte?" ^^

I think it's funny that foreigners think that german is an aggressive language and they try to speak deep😂
Haha other foreigners think that way too? 🤔 Growing up in the USA, I probably got that impression from the media and Hollywood. Plus, I didn't know many Germans growing up. I was surprised after going to Germany how soft and pleasant the spoken language is! ...yet not the easiest language to learn as a non-native speaker! 🤗
@@DeanaandPhil yeah, german is hard to learn when it isn't your native language...we've got 3 articles and 4 "Fälle" for the declination of nouns...Good luck😘
I agree. I find German to be such a beautiful language. American media gives the impression that Germans yell and are super aggressive when they speak.
Oh, shouting at people in german is just beautiful... 🤣 that would be a nice Video!

in my school in america offered french german or spanish since my mom is german i took german and fell in love with the language. i loved the refresher course thank you
Thanks so much! We are glad you enjoyed it! 🤗💜 The only secondary languages offered in my school in South Carolina growing up were Spanish and French. That's awesome that you took German! 👍
Agreed!
That’s why I live in Germany
My school in Schaumburg IL offered the same. Then I moved to California, and you really need to speak Spainish in this part of the US.
The language is beautiful and that's why I'm learning it. Danke für deine video!

Hello Susan 😊
Being from northern Germany (Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, say that three times fast, Deana ;) ), I would like to rephrase some of those:
Hallo - Moin
Guten Morgen - Moin
Guten Tag - Moin
Guten Abend - Moin
I'm from Germany but I still enjoyed this so much. You two are so much fun! :)
Yea I think too. Warum schreibe ich mit einer Deutschen auf Englisch? Ich verstehe es nicht :D
Hello Mirjam 🤩

Ihr habt jawohl die wichtigste Begrüßung überhaupt vergessen, was ist denn bitte mit "Moin moin", oder einfach nur "MOIN"?
Moin Servus Moin
Is so
Hier im Norden reicht ein Moin,dazu ein kurzes Kopfnicken. Moin moin ist schon zuviel Gesabbel😉

Thanks for the lesson! I'm traveling to Germany (from Texas) for the first time in September and want to get the basics down!
A lot of people throughout Germany speak English too, but we always like to know the basics too. Safe travels! 😊

After years of academic research, it shows that the handiest phrase in every language is: "My friend pays for it" and in German: "Dafür zahlt mein Freund".
We have so many dialects that even Germans don't understand everything. North Germany and South are different.
I wonder how many dialects that you guys have
Like a Geordie or a Scouser or a Brummie in England :)
Really🤔
@@gracewood6768 It is said to be round about 50.
I’m Austrian but grew up in the US. When my parents took us to Austria, we started in Munich. The German was so hard to understand for me until we got to Klagenfurt. Then it made more sense as the dialect was much more familiar sounding to me, even with my limited German. The other thing that made it harder was that language also evolves, so even for my parents certain words were different as it had been 20 years since they moved from Austria.
Hello! I just came across your channel about a week ago, we are traveling to Germany on the 25th, and I sat my family down and had a blast watching some of your videos! Thank you for making it fun and less stressful to learn
Ich hab das allseits gängige "Moin" vermisst. :)
SheratanLP außer in bayern
Weil Bayern einfach hervorsticht aus der Masse! :D
Bei und im Süden sagt man auch nirgends Moin. Zumindest nicht in meiner Umgebung.
In Hessen hört mans auch nur selten
Dann mal ab nach Nordfriesland bzw allgemein fast jeder Ort über Hamburg nutzt das noch je nach Alter der Person natürlich :D
6:29 Das passiert mir auch oft (z. B. bei meinem Vortrag in Musik über die Rolling Stones). Ich bin dann einfach voll dabei mich aufs englische zu konzentrieren und spreche dann selbst du deutschen Wörter englisch aus. :D Ist dann für außerstehende auf jeden Fall immer ganz witzig anzuhören.
You forgot the propably most important word in German language: doch ^^
nein, doch, oooooh
I think of doch as "yah HUH!" (nuh uh, yah huh....)
Ja, genau
What is doch?
@@gracewood6768 duh ?!!
One of the best videos covering useful German phrases. You two make a great couple.
Thanks to you both. I used this video and the 5 phrases to use in restaurants last week in Vienna and even got a nod of approval from a waiter after a rough start!
this is simply zu süß. you too are zum wegschmeißen, feier ich =)
My mother was from Munich, and came to the US after marrying my dad after WW2. She didn’t teach us German, so the 2 times my 3 siblings and I went to Germany, the language barrier was tough. Most of our cousins live near Ingolstadt and Munich. This was a GREAT TUTORIAL for first time visitors. Some of the cousins are much younger than me. (65,) and they had English in school, and we could communicate very well when they were present. Thank you for freshening me up; it has been 10 years since we have been over, and we hope to go again very soon.❤️
My mom wanted to teach us German but my dad (a native Spanish speaker) didn't want us to learn anything but English as he always had some trouble with English and was concerned that we would too if we learned other languages. He just didn't understand that we would have been fine if we learned them together. The German relatives always got on my mom about why didn't she teach us German. I did take German in high school and college.
I love this couple, they are natural with their gestures, laughing...
Thanks very much 😀 I learned a lot from this 👌🏻 I like the way it was explained 👍🏻 cheers!!
This is just as informative if you want to learn English as it is the other way around

This video was incredibly helpful! Next summer I'm going to Germany, France, and the Netherlands for Blue Lake International Symphony, so these phrases are going to be very helpful while I'm in Germany.
Thanks for sharing this very helpful

@@DeanaandPhil ♥️
Seriously thank you for this video!!!!!
I like it a lot and I find it easier to focus and learn this way
I love "Tschüss". it's very northern
Tschüss sounds like the swedish word for kiss.
In Norddeutschland sagen wir immer, egal wann, Moin, was ja auch hallo, guten tag, guten abend, hallo zusammen etc. bedeutet wäre vllt. auch erwähnenswert wenn jemand nach Norddeutschland kommt :)
So helpful! Thank you!
I feel like I'll need this soon.
Danke Schon!
this is awesome. i always want to learn German. should make more of these.
Thanks so much! 💜🤗 German isn't an easy language to learn, but I'm working on it! Hope this video helps jumpstart learning German for you! 😊
@TheBlackiwid It´s easy. I saw young childs at street they spoke it very well.
Going back to Germany in a week or so, have not been there in 35 years. Looking to brush up on my already rusty and poor German and this is the best video out there. The two perspectives was perfect.
Fortunately, a lot of Germans that I've run into speak English, but I like to test my horrible German when we are there! :) Safe travels and have a wonderful trip!
These guys being the most helpful German lesson I've watched!!!
super helpful - especially the explanation for "genau"!
The german word "doch" is Used very often as well
This expression is very uncommon in English I guess...
But nobody explains how it actually differs from "ja" or "jawohl."
Mein Englisch ist mit Anfang 50 zwar miserabel, aber ihr beide seit ein so sympathisches Paar da schaue ich einfach gerne zu. Weiter so.

I once got told it sounds a bit arrogant if you say "no problem" because it was a problem for the person who is thanking you. I tend to say "gerne" or "gern geschehen" which translates to "gladly" or "I've done that with pleausure/ I was happy to help"
Vielen Dank y’all :). Dankeschon! I’m starting German classes A1 starting in two days! Uber excited!

Moin/Servus(abhängig von der Region)sind auch sehr wichtige Begrüßungen, über die man Bescheid wissen sollte
you're a very likeable couple and you explained most phrases very well, especially based on politness which i agree isn't best put to use by many germans (i'm german myself). the only thing that stood out to me, but was already mentioned i guess, is that the polite version of "was?" is "wie bitte?" or we also use "entschuldigung?" or "pardon?" (french spoken). i wouldn't teach foreign people "hä" since it's perceived as rude often. anyways, i like you and thumbs up!! 👍👍
In Britain, what is polite sometimes depends on class (i.e. what sociolect is being used). Where a worker says "pardon?" a bourgeois would say "what?"
It also changes over time, and so varies between generations. I would say, "May I have an americano?" or, "I would like ..." but for a younger person it's normal to say, "Can I get ..."
So helpful and to the point, thank you!
I always love your videos thank you so much

Hey Deane/Phil: I know you guys probably don't want to become a "learn German" CZcams channel, but I really think you both would do a spectacular job at it if you decided to do some regular content in that vein. It would get you a huge amount of views (because you guys are awesome), and you guys can still make your every day life the main focus of your channel. I am learning German myself and would prefer your channel over others if you started offering that. Either way, best of luck!
I should have watched this 2 months ago when I first got to Germany! Very helpful, thank you!
I spoke German when I was a kid. Completely forgotten it.

Seems like all Germans speak English so well.
Right?! There were so many people in Germany that spoke English! I didn't have many chances to practice my horrible German! 😅
In most schools it is your first foreign language. It varies when you start it. Sometimes Kindergarten (yes, I know in English it is written with "d", but it is a German word, so I keep to the original), or 1st year in school, sometimes 5th year. Most young people don't have big trouble communicating with you in English. Many see it as good practise. But I have to say, in the Netherlands it seems they know much better.
@@Lakin3 Das hat auch einen einfachen Grund. Es gibt kaum Medien wie Filme usw. auf niederländisch. Wenn du in den Niederlanden also Fernsehen schauen willst solltest du englisch können ;)
