Traveling

We all need to travel. Some of us very frequently and others not that much but we all have been in an airport, bus top or a train station. Travelling could be very stressful and challenging.

My own travelling experience has thought me to be prepared and organized. I think it’s very important to know few traveling phrases in German when we are traveling to or within Germany.

The next phrases has helped me to be more confident and to get to my destination without so much pressure. I hope they can help you too. It’s better to be prepared in case you meet someone who cannot help you in English. Prevention is better than cure. So let’s start:

 

  • der Reisepass(passport)
  • der Koffer (suitcase)
  • der Rucksack(backpack)
  • das Gepäck(baggage)
  • der Flugschein (airplane ticket)
  • der Zoll (customs)
  • die Fahrkarte(ticket)
  • die Reservierung(reservation)

 

  • Ich möchte eine Fahrkarte reservieren.(I would like to reserve a ticket.)
  • Wir möchten zwei Flugtickets nach Spanien kaufen.(We want to buy two plane tickets to Spain.)
  • Wie viel kostet die Fahrkarte?(How much does the ticket cost?)
  • Gibt es eine Studenten-ermäßigung?(Is there a discount for students?)
  • Wir möchten bar bezahlen.(We want to pay cash.)
  • Dieses ist mein Handgepäck.(This is my carry-on bag.)
  • Wann kommen wir in Berlin an?(When do we arrive in Berlin?)
  • Wo ist die Bushaltestelle?(Where is the bus stop?)
  • Wo ist die U-Bahn?(Where is the underground train (subway/metro)?)
  • Fährt dieser Zug nach…?(Does this train go to…?)
  • Wohin fährt dieser Bus?(To where does this bus go?)
  • Darf ich bitte einen Stadtplan haben?(May I have a city map please?)
  • Können Sie mir das auf der Karte zeigen? (Can you show me on the map?)

 

Enjoy travelling!

Gute Reise!

Dussmann das KulturKaufhaus

Dussmann is a remarkable shop for the book lovers. It’s an authentic wonderland for all of you who enjoy spending time with a good book. When I went there for the first time I was astonished about the 3 store building offering full variety of so many interesting books, CDs and DVDs. There is a section for German learning books, manuals and booklets. I bought there a German verb game for me and few of my classmates.

 

You can just grab a book along with a coffee and seat on one of their sofas or comfy chairs spending the whole day reading. I love that!

 

Another fun thing to do is to explore the music section of Dussmann. You can chose a CD, take it to the next free CD player and enjoy yourself while seating on a sofas with view of the tropical garden.  

 

This shop it’s a cozy and fun place to be.
