German · Travel & tourism

Speak German for your trip — before it happens.

In a Berlin U-Bahn station, "Entschuldigung, wo ist die Apotheke?" lands the right way every time — accusative, polite Sie, noun second. Ask for the same pharmacy without the case-marker translation and the ticket counter hears "Wo ist Apotheke" as broken half-Deutsch. The case is the friction; the politeness is the cost.

What you'll practice

Order food with separable-prefix verbs — "Ich hätte gern…" + accusative ("ein Schnitzel", "eine Cola")
Catch a taxi to a specific address with the right prepositions — "zum Hauptbahnhof", "in die Friedrichstraße"
Navigate "Wo finde ich…?" for the pharmacy, the bathroom, the metro, the embassy
Decode fast Berlinerisch vs. softer Hessian — same words, different rhythm and extra "ick" sounds
