Hello everyone!
Welcome back to my video series on learning German for beginners.
"Lektion zwei"
In lesson one, we learnt how we greet in German.
Whereas in lesson two we will learn some common phrases used in daily life.
"häufige Redemittel"
I would again request you not to get into the details of the structures.
The best would be to repeat each one of them after you hear me.
Good luck!
Let's come to the first expression you have already heard in the previous video.
"Danke!" or "Danke schön!"
Now, if you are really thankful for something, you say "Vielen Dank!"
Please note that the "V" has the sound of "Fh"
It's "Vielen Dank!"
We will get into the details in the fifth chapter.
"Bitte!" or "Bitte schön!"
Used as a reaction for "Danke!" and "Danke schön!"
Like every other language, even German has words with multiple meanings
For example, "Bitte!"
"Bitte!" also means "Please!"
"Entschuldigen Sie, bitte!"
Once again "Ent - schul - digen Sie, bitte!"
But this structure is only used in formal situations.
In informal or casual situations you can just say "Entschuldigung, bitte!"
"Entschuldigung, bitte!"
"Es tut mir leid!"
Please note, you have to say "Es tuut mir leid!". The "tuut" has to be long and not "tut".
Let's move to the next one!
"Wie bitte?"
If I don't understand what one is saying
And I want them to repeat. I would say "Wie bitte?"
Or I can say "noch einmal, bitte!"
You will be listening to these structures in your daily life in Germany.
The next one is!
"Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" or "Sprechen Sie Englisch?"
Now if I don't speak any of these languages.
I say.
"Ich spreche kein Deutsch." or "Ich spreche kein Englisch."
And if I speak a bit
I would say
"Ich spreche etwas Deutsch" or "Ich spreche etwas Englisch"
I believe you have already made out from the previous structures
"Ich" is for "I"
The next one says.
"Ich verstehe nicht"
Again, please notice the sound of "V" is that of "Fh" - "verstehe"
Excellent!
Let's move on to the next one.
"Ich weiß nicht"
Or you can also say "Keine Ahnung!"
Now a very simple one.
"Einen Moment, bitte!"
Now coming to the three most important words in a language.
"Ja"
"Nein"
"Vielleicht"
Please notice the "J" has the sound of "ye"
"Nein" as the english number nine.
"Vielleicht". Again, the "V" has the sound of "Fh".
Well done!
You have learned a lot more new structures of the German language.
Let's quickly go through them once again.
So, hope you were able to learn something today and pick up some new phrases.
"Danke!"
