I trained as Hotelfachfrau in a small hotel. Once we had Americans in the restaurant, and we struggled to translate the menu for them. We had Hirsch on the menu, and it took a lot of describing and miming to explain that to them. I think the word "Bambi" was used.

Time to learn some German! This is the new corrected video!! Thank you for everyone who was early on those comments to correct "das Karte" to "die Karte." It's a struggle to learn the fun "der, die, das" 😅 Have you used any of these phrases? 💜

I really enjoy this type of video. I’d love to see more, please!

You can also say "zahlen, bitte." that is the short form for "Kann ich bitte bezahlen." Also when I went to Ireland for an internship I sayed "Can I pay, please" at first but the longer I stayed there I switched to "Can I have the bill, please".

I don´t even know why i´m watching this... I already speak german!

Noch 3 Monate dann spricht Diana besser deutsch als die meisten Deutsche . 😊🤣

I love that I learn new things almost everytime I watch your videos. The lettuce and salad distinction for example. I know both words but as a German it's good to be aware of the difference of use in English and German.

Lange her, in einer Billardkneipe: Gast: "Zwei Bier" Barfrau "wie heißt das Zauberwort mit den zwei T?" (sie kannten sich wohl) Gast: "Flott!" Der Saal sah sich die nächsten Minuten außerstande zu spielen. Wir waren alle sehr amüsiert :)

Great video!! VERY helpful!!

loved this video! i knew most of them but it is still nice to get a different view and context. dankeschön!

Very educational. Thank you I enjoyed it a lot, and made lots of notes for when my husband and I travel to Germany

That was really usefull for me thank you Phill and Deana ☺️☺️

Wer kennt noch die Werbung mit diesem Satz.."Ich möchte diesen Teppich nicht kaufen, bitte!" Daran musste ich das ganze Video über denken xDDD

it was a great video, I just learned everything I needed to know. Waiting for more videos from you channel

Thanks for the great and helpful video. Will definitely help us on our upcoming trip to Germany!

40 years ago in a torrential blizzard in Berlin I struggled across the road to an Italian restaurant which was the only place open. The waiter had some German and some English and much Italian, the Chef little German , little English and much Italian. I had some of all three. because of the storm we all ended eating together. Best meal of my life!

Wow.your lessons are very clear..vielen danke

Nice going Deana with the German. We (Aussies) always think that asking for a check/cheque makes no sense since, for us, a check/cheque is when you give someone money ie "The cheque is in the mail". We ask for the 'bill' or like Phil, 'Can we pay?' but if we were going to leave a tip, we would probably leave it on the table in cash for the wait staff but mostly Aussies are too cheap for tips and it just isn't our custom.

Your videos are great. Simple and to the point ❤

Great content -- thanks!

Very helpful!

As always, super helpful and fun! Danke! (see? I am practicing! 😂)

Trying to learn German myself on Duolingo at the minute to get a grasp of the grammar. Love these videos. Thanks for making them!

Just came here from some major youtubers' drama and you guys are SO refreshing to watch

thank you for the lesson, I'm a biginer feel very help full.

Thanks for these awesome tips!

Your video really help me on learn Deutch. Thankyou

Hi Both, I just started learning German. And these kinda videos of your channel helps a lot!! Please continue. It is much needed for my revision :P Danke schön :)

Oh man, I asked for tap water AND left the tip on the table yesterday. These videos are v helpful.

Discovered you guys through y'all Wal-Mart vid lmao you guys are pretty funny and seem like very chill people. You guys just gained a new subscriber‼️

I like your ideas! Please create more videos like this, I am learning German.

Eins, zwei, trinken!!!! Very cool. Danke.

BIT-TE-SCHÖN :D Großartig, da musste ich laut lachen! :D

Headed to Germany in about 20 hours. I have been binge watching your videos (and others), since we decided to go to the Christmas Markets just a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for your insights into German culture and language. I'll let you know if it helped when we get back!

You two are so Awesome, am going to Germany soon and a bit nervous to try my little German I know, but your video's are so helpful. Thanks !!

Thank you so much for these amazing videos. They're so practical and useful! I tried babbel and Duolingo, but found it was too much information, and phrases that I knew I would not be using as a visitor and tourist. I'm leaving to Berlin in 2 weeks! I cant wait to test out my german! Danke Shön !

it came from french "Restaurant" restauron - in Deutsch Gastwirtschaft guest house for food and beer - "trottoir" Bürgersteig Fußgängerweg side walk

Thanks!

I have only been to Deutchland 1 time. I am Norwegian, so our language is kinda simular-ish. But I used "Danke" all the time. But I used "Norwegian" with a bit German "spice". Lol. So I said "Haben zi eis wein und frityren kartoflen und rumpsteak mit pfeffersauce." And for paying I used "Kann ich bezalen bitte"? And finally. Auf Wiedersehen. I don't know how all the words are written, so I used my Norwegian. Haha... Love watching your videos. Haben zi eine Güten Aben", from me.

Deana I'm trying to learn German too! Very beginning stages for me! I love the word Speisekarte to me it's so fun to say even though Karte is easier 😊

Ich freue mich auf das erste komplette Video auf deutsch von euch . Egal wann 🤣🤣🤣

Extremely interesting and useful information presented in a funny and easy to assimilate way, thank you! :) Btw, now it has come to my attention that while I know beforehand that the menu was 'die Speisekarte', I didn't really know what the expression 'das Menü' means :O

Das ist so ein hilfreiches Video. Ich werde meine Studenten und Studentinnen hier her verweisen, wenn sie das lernen wollen!!! DANKE SCHÖN

Nah' its complicated but not as much if one knows the words and reads a little german or vice versa. With all your Travels just stay safe please .Love your Videos

Learning German a2 , and i can literally judge her...had funn 😀 danke 👍 i liebe deine vedio

Thanks

Een grosse donner kebab mit kanoofluk saus (garlic sauce, but I'm pretty sure I got it wrong) asjablieft (I can still speak it but, spelling...). After staying in Maastricht for a semester in 2000, I found my love for the big lamb kebab with garlic sauce. Oh God, I wish we had these in America. I try to make my own but the bread just doesn't work out properly. Like the old man used to say; "the difference between American bread and European bread is that the Europeans leave the cement out."

Fun, funny, useful!

This is so helpful! I was supposed to be going on a trip through Germany this year, but clearly covid-19 had other plans lol I would love more videos like this in the future 😊 And hopefully next year I’ll actually get to put these to the test!

More videos guys!! 😘

I think that the phrases really depend on what part of Germany you are in but are still common when learning German. The basic greeting in Germany is Guten Tag but here in the north they just say "Moin"! I still find it interesting to learn what other ways things are said.

Ausgezeichnet. Danke

Did you change the language side on purpose at the end... please? ;) Thanks a lot for your videos, you alwas giving me a big smile, both of you! You have great ideas and I hope you'll fill our hearts with joy for a long time :)

ich liebe diese videos :D

I started learn German ,becoz food is main when I traped in Germany 😂😂🥰😍 I like your video 🥰🥰

3:59 xDDD so funny and cute, love it!

Now you have the salad 😂

Could you please make a video sometime about the cost of living in Germany for you guys personally? I am interested in moving to Germany, but I cannot really get a feel for the cost of rent compared with income, transportation costs, the cost of food per month at the grocery store, and some fast food cost. I’d like to hear your personal experiences or maybe estimate it based on a typical Germany city. I’m so scared to move to Germany because I honestly am not the richest person in the world, but I studied over the summer in Germany and really enjoyed Berlin and München. I also got to see Augsburg, Leipzig, Dresden, and Potsdam. I really liked Munich and Berlin, but I was afraid of the cost of living in comparison with an average salary. I studied German at the university here in the US and I work as licensed practical nurse. I understand that in Germany they do not have LPN’s, but some LPN’s have worked as Pflegehelfer in Deutschland. Wie viel kostet das Leben eigentlich in Deutschland? Besonders wenn man nicht so viel verdient. Ich möchte kein Auto haben, weil ich das Leben in Deutschland mit der Bahn gemocht habe. Ich fand Deutschland sehr entspannend mit viel Spaß zu machen. Hier in den USA ist es nicht so gut. Das Essen ist ziemlich schlecht im Vergleich zu Deutschland und man muss ein Auto haben. Ich habe gerade keine Krankenversicherung und möchte herausfinden, wie das Leben dort ist. Ein Land zu reisen ist viel anders als dort zu wohnen. Da habe ich noch keine Erfahrung.

In Switzerland the Speisekarte is often called Menükarte it includes Hauptspeisen/Hauptgang and Dessert (Nachspeisen is very "German German"). If you order a Döner in Zurich and say: I möchte einen Döner ohne alles, that means you won't get onions or tomatoes. When I'm in a restaurant, I memorize the prices for the things I order. Once I have to pay, I already know how much tip I want to give.

Thank you for the video. It been helpful. Is tipping common in Germany? Is it a must or we can pass that?

Dankeschon fur die video! I watch a lot of international movies and programs so I'm slowly trying to learn the various languages. BTW, please excuse me should I ever misspell something.

Any special additions or tips for ordering on the street?

Dankeschön - Schittebön

1:12 Spesenkarte .. 😂😂😉

I'm trying to hear if the "r" s are rolled. Like in the Romantic languages. Does one roll the "r"? Danke!

Thanks for the video:) How much do people usually tip in Germany?

I like these type of videos. I wish I could understand German. It's an interesting language to me, plus then I could read more of the comment section, lol. Love you guys videos. ❤

Deana is too funny 😂, Phil since you are fluent in English but Deana is not fluent in German you should totally immerse her in the German language meaning German only unless your creating the videos. That means no American TV, German 24/7 As always looking forward to your videos! 🤗

Und dann gibt’s ja noch die Dialektversionen. Ein Kumpel aus dem Saarland war bei mir in Dortmund. Als er die Rechnung wollte sagte er zur Bedienung „zieh mal ab“. Sie ist darauf gegangen und kam auch nicht wieder 😂 Hat er gar nicht verstanden

I love you guys

Da haben wir den Salat ;-)

Good videos 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

Ich benutze meisten die aussage "Ich möchte gerne Zahlen".

Also bei der Rechnung sag ich entweder: "Die Rechnung bitte" oder "Ich möchte/hätte gerne die Rechnung bitte" ich finde "Kann ich bitte bezahlen?" klingt wirklich irgendwie seltsam. lol

06:47 die zahl drei hat er noch deutsch, sie aber amerikanisch gezählt

How much do you tip at a restaurant?

Tipp: Erst die Getränke ordern, wenn die kommen das Essen bestellen. Und wenn der Kellner euch auch beachten soll, klappt die verdammte Karte zu.

There is a 4b for you, deana, and it's wallet friendly :"Die Rechnung übernimmt mein Mann." Try it. Phil will love it.😉 Stay covfree 😷

I wonder if it's common for all of the other European countries for the check/bill to be brought only after being asked. Does seem that way from my limited experience. I'm from the USA and when I "attempt" to speak the language of the country I'm visiting, the people always seem to be kind. Don't know any German so perhaps the waiter was frustrated with how long it took for us to order our food.

Ich sage meistens die Rechnung bitte. Außerdem vermisse ich " und wer ist das Hühnchen"

I'm curious, do either of you know any other languages besides German and English? My fiance is from the Netherlands and I'm in the process of learning Dutch

with German how to say no is it Nine or Keine? Cause i've always thought it was nine

Can you please differentiate “‘ich mochte genre “, and “ ich hatte gerne “, and “ ich werde gerne “ ? I spelled those wrong too I’m afraid.

Nachtisch ist also dessert

Due they serve horse in german restaurants?

"Kann ich bitte bezahlen" should be translated to "may I be served to pay"

We often use the word Dessert instead of Nachspeisen, but in the French way, a little bit confusing for non Germans...

warum war dieses video denn vorhin auf einmal privat? jetzt kann ich wenigstens meinen vorhin geschriebenen kommentar hier posten. also: ich muss immer schmunzeln wenn diana "schwierige" wörter (zwiebeln) ausspricht. es hört sich immer an als ob sie mit vollem mund spricht. (nicht bös gemeint) es ist aber auch schwierig wenn man eine "runde,geschmeidigere,smoothe" muttersprache hat und dann das "harte" deutsch sprechen will. und ich muss mich bei euch mal bedanken weil durch euch mein (bescheidenes) schulenglish wieder aufgefrischt wurde. somit konnte ich einen hilfe suchenden nicht deutschsprachigen mitmenschen aushelfen ein ticket zu kaufen. dieser wäre sonst hoffnungslos aufgeschmissen gewesen. in diesem sinne macht weiter so und bleibt gesund.

Die Rechnung, bitte

You forgot the old fashioned but always common 'Haben Sie gewählt?" which must be un-understandable for every non-german Interessting fact: (German) people working in restraurant and hotel business tend to pronounce originally french terms in German. I tried to use English syllables to get the sounds: 'Res-tow-wrong' (tow like towel) becomes 'Res-tou-rang' (ou like in house), 'Boofeé' gets 'Booffatt'

Okay i would say to the Waiter if he ask if he can bring me anything else" yes can you bring me some money i would like to pay "!

I read in a German-English dictionary '' Kriegen Sie schon?'' Are you getting something? Have you ordered?

Wow, I'm one of the 10% and that comment is just for the algorithm.

what happens when you are learning german and you are using naughty words to the bar lady and you can't explain why she looks excited.

rechnung bitte...ist doch genau so

In Germany we don't have time to be polite. It's inefficient. The only correct ordering a Döner in german language is "Döner mit alles und scharf" ("Döner with all and hot/very spicy"). Everything else is wrong. :D

Thats funy but for example we dont have tip .and if you give tips mostly would be Offensive .😅we take it back to the last drop😬 tiping in here means you give mony to Beggar .that's weird😅

You guys gotta get married! ❤

Why did you live,zahlen sie bar oder kraditkarte?

Ich bin die Currywurst. 😂
