Tourists who are going to visit Germany and Austria on a package tour or on their own should know at least a few words and expressions that they may need in everyday life. In this article, I will show you how to read German, as well as a list of expressions for tourists.
My first country I visited was Austria: I went to a Russian-speaking seminar, we were met by Russian-speaking owners of the guest house, all my colleagues also spoke Russian, so at that time I was not afraid and went. But I decided to improve my English by studying topics: tourism, airport, hotel, illness, help, travel in transport and some other topics. Of course, I took German and English dictionaries with me just in case.
In 2014, I was twice in, also on my own, but I did not choose any Russian-speaking hotels. And, living for the last time in Cologne, I went to Paris, Strasbourg (), Brussels () and Amsterdam () and was able to answer myself the question why I go to Germany (my friends asked me: why do you go to Germany, because there are or more attractive countries such as France or). And I realized: in Germany, everything is clear to me. Of course, at that time I already knew a little German at the level A 1.1 (that is, I could read and tell a few words about myself, I knew some of the most popular words), but what is good for a tourist in Germany:
Inscriptions in German and English at Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles
In France, in crowded tourist places, I had problems buying tea in a cafe and a cocktail in MaDonalds! And the devices are all of different colors and formats, they sell tickets, as I understand it, only to local destinations, and for distant ones you need to buy tickets at the box office.
So, I will share some phrases of a simple Russian tourist in Germany that may come in handy.

Before talking about phrases, let's see how to read German. If you know English, then this is great, because many words are spelled the same or similar, but pronounced a little differently. Just listen and try to understand.
For example,
Also in Russian there are many borrowings from German and other languages - use this too: for example, Wagen on a train - a wagon, Teater, Museum, Cafe, Restaurant, Lift, Luft (air, Luftgansa, Luftwaffe), Etage (floor), Garage ( garage) - these words will not cause you problems. Just be careful: in German, many words are joined to form a new word, so don't let Hochgarage scare you - it's just a high (multi-storey) garage, Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station.
The words should also be clear: hoch - high (H?nde hoch), haupt - chief (guardhouse - chief guard (and “watch” there too).
Well, “krank” (crank) - sick, Dr?cken (dryuken) - violence, pressure, push (twist, I apologize for the expression), kaputt (kaput) - spoiled, broken, Gluck (glitch) - happiness, etc. .
The basic rule of reading in German for a tourist is how it is written, so it is read. What letters you see are what you read:
But there are letter combinations and letters that are not read like in English:
In German, compared to English, there are some features:
Greeting and farewell
Help
In the shop
In the city, on the street
In transport
These are the main words and expressions that a tourist in Germany may need and. German is also spoken in Switzerland, but as far as I know, there is such a strong dialect there: different pronunciation and other words, that I can’t say if it’s possible to communicate with German German there, or if you need to make a Swiss German phrasebook.
If you are going to visit Germany on a friendly visit, you need to prepare in advance. You can start learning German on your own, buy a phrase book, memorize basic phrases, or ask a teacher for help. If you have a lot of time left, then you should take it seriously, in a foreign country without knowing the language is not easy.
So, it is reasonable to start with the following points:
Begin! The first successes can be made after 2-3 weeks of training, and you can talk to a German and exchange a couple of phrases by the end of the first month. The main thing is to start studying so that before the trip there is time to systematize the information received in your head!
With intensive and regular classes, you can begin to speak and understand the interlocutor in a couple of months. Of course, at first there will be banal everyday simple phrases: greetings, questions, requests, words to keep the conversation going. Then the vocabulary will expand to 1000-1500 concepts, you can even discuss some events. In everyday life, without taking into account highly specialized terms at work, the average German citizen uses about 2000-2500 different words.
For a trip to the country in order to see the sights and relax, the main groups of words are enough:
Greetings and farewells;
Phrases for finding a road: directions, street names;
Essential phrases for airport, railway stations and public transport;
Essential phrases for cafes or shopping in stores;
Phrases for emergency situations;
Words to express regret and gratitude;
Expressions to keep the conversation going.
For a comfortable stay, 100 phrases are enough - this is about 300-500 words. It is not enough to learn them, to practice pronouncing them correctly so that the interlocutor understands you. You also need to prepare for the expected answers - asking for directions and not understanding the answer will be a very unpleasant discovery. For safety, you can take a phrase book to find the right phrase, but you should not rely on it, it is difficult to keep up a conversation and look for information in a book.
The Germans are amiable and polite people, slightly closed, and they need good reasons for close communication or invitation to visit. On the street or in a public place, they will gladly come to the aid of those in need. To begin with, it is worth learning the phrases of greeting and starting a conversation.
It is customary to say “Hello” and “Bye” to close acquaintances and peers. In German, the phrases would look like this: "Hallo!" and "Tschüs!", and they sound "Halo!" and "Chus!". When talking to a stranger or an interlocutor who is clearly older than you, you should use the standard politeness phrase:
Phrases are appropriate in any situation, whether you know the interlocutor or not, they will be a manifestation of politeness.
Understand! The Germans speak very emotionally, as opposed to their coldness and stiffness. Sometimes it seems that they are expressing indignation or angry, but in most cases it turns out that this is how the words sound in German. You need to understand that the Germans are quite cultured and will not be rude to a stranger for no reason.

There is one more phrase, it can also be used at the end of a conversation, it is hardly suitable for communicating with strangers - “Viel Glück!”. Literally translated as a wish of good luck, or "Happily!"
The Germans are polite and cultured, after greeting you will most likely be asked how you are doing or inquire about your health. The phrase sounds something like this:
There are 2 forms of the word "Excuse me" in German. To attract the attention of the interlocutor, “Entschuldigung” is said, it looks difficult, but it sounds “Entschuldigung”. And if you want to apologize for the inconvenience, then the phrase will sound slightly different - Entschuldigen Sie "Entschuldigen zi."
Remember! The complexity of the German language is word formation, sometimes a word can consist of several parts. Remembering this approach is quite difficult, it will take time.
If you still find it difficult to express yourself in German, you can tell the interlocutor that you do not understand him well and ask if he speaks another language. "Spreche ich deutsch nicht" (spreche ich deutsch nicht) translates as "I don't speak German". You can learn about other languages with the phrase:
Arrival in Germany is associated with the passage of customs control at the border or at the airport. As in any other country, here it is better to clearly answer the questions left and try not to say too much. Customs officers may not understand Russian humor, and it will be quite difficult to overcome the language barrier if there is a misunderstanding with government officials.
For your information! At every airport in Germany, as well as at major railway stations, there is an opportunity to ask for help if the problem is out of control and you and the employee no longer understand each other. "Ich brauche einen übersetzer" means you need an interpreter.
You may be asked about the purpose of the visit, whether you have all the necessary documents, whether you have filled out the declaration, whether you have permission to import luggage items, and so on. If you memorize the phrases from the tablet, then it will be easy for you to pass customs control.
At the railway station, questions may arise regarding the location of luggage, orientation in the room, calling a taxi, and the like. Even without knowing the correct wording of the desired phrase, there is no need to panic and get upset. Template expressions will come to your aid, using them you can easily explain the problem to the representatives of the station. At the information desk you can find out the information you need: about train timetables, required documents, ticket prices, the location of left-luggage offices, taxi ranks and exits to the city.
By the way, the Germans are friendly people, when they understand that you are a foreigner and you need help, they will be happy to help, and with the availability of translators in smartphones and tablets, you can even start a conversation that is understandable to both.
In a cafe or restaurant where you need to make an order, you will need a few basic phrases to ask for a menu and a bill, as well as to find out the cost of dishes:
By the way, recently it is customary to call waiters simply - “Entschuldigung!” (Sorry!), but most often they come up themselves and address visitors with the phrase:
When buying something in a store, you will need to find out the cost, expiration date, change amount, and other little things. Trying on clothes will require you to know the sizes translated into German or European.
If you are moving around a German city by taxi or public transport, you will sometimes have to ask for directions or correct the direction for the driver. You need to learn phrases to address people on the street and the police. The basis of all expressions of this kind:
All the necessary phrases for communicating with public transport and taxi drivers, the following phrases will be enough for you:
For tourists in large German cities, there are many explanatory and guiding signs, you can read the information you need on them, for example, where the toilet is located, or in which direction the square is located. Warning signs in public places are duplicated in English. It is more familiar to our eyes, but you also need to know the German designations well.
Upon arrival in the country, you will need somewhere to stay, most likely you will need a hotel or a hotel. Big and famous establishments have an interpreter, but medium and cheap ones will meet you with German staff. And you will have to explain your wishes in their native language or gestures. Not everyone will get what they want.
For productive communication with staff, 15-20 phrases will be enough for you:
On good trips and successful journeys, such phrases do not have to be used. But situations are different and you need to know them. At least in order not to look in the phrase book, how to call a doctor if someone urgently needs help. It is enough to learn a few things to be able to call the police or doctors at the right time.
Important! Every country has special phone numbers that you can call even if you don't have access to a mobile network. They can be obtained at the hotel reception, at customs or at the information desk.
Situations with money in an exchange office or a bank also require understanding so that an incident does not result due to misunderstanding with employees.
In addition to a camera, money and personal items, you will definitely need:
Summing up, let us recall the main words for communication in any country and in any language:
It is these little things that often help tourists out on the streets of a foreign city, and together with common sense, a well-defined route and learned basic phrases, they will allow you to get the most out of the trip.
The German alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet with diacritics for vowels ( ä , ö , ü ) and a letter ß , not used in other languages. There are alternative spellings for these letters: ae, oe, ue, ss, but their use loses its uniqueness.
Some of the German letters are translated into Russian unambiguously:
| b | → b | n | → n | t | → T | ||
| d | → d | p | → P | w | → in | ||
| f | → f | q | → to | x | → ks | ||
| g | → G | r | → R | y | → And | ||
| m | → m | ß | → from | z | → c |
Combinations j + vowel transferred like this:
At the beginning of a word and after vowels ja → I, ja (je) → e, jo → yo, jo → yo, ju → Yu, ju → yuu: Jahns → Jens, Jul → july;
After consonants ja → ya, ja (je) → ye, jo → yo, jo → yo, ju (ju)→ ew: Lilje → Lilje.
Before a consonant and at the end of a word j → th.
German diphthongs are transmitted in transcription according to the following rules: eu → Oh, ei → ah, ie → And. A common tradition to pass eu (ei) → Hey (to her) is considered obsolete today, although many names and surnames are transmitted according to these rules: Reuters → Reuters, Geiger → Geiger.
After vowels e (ä ) → uh, i → th. At the beginning of a word e (ä , ö ) → uh, ü → And.
In other cases, vowels are transmitted by transliteration: a → but, e (ä ) → e, i → And, o → about, ö → yo, u → at, ü → Yu, y → And.
letter combinations sch, chh, ch, ph, rh, th in transcription are transmitted, respectively: sch → w, chh → hg, ch → X, ph → f, rh → R, th → T.
Combinations tsch, zsch And chs wholly belonging to one syllable are transmitted according to the rules tsch (zsch) → h, chs → ks: Achslach → Axlakh, Zschopau → chopau. Sometimes the components of these letter combinations refer to different syllables, in which case they are transmitted independently: Altschul → Altshul.
Before front vowels ( i, e, in borrowings also y) from → c: Cilli → cilly. In other contexts c → to: Carl → Charles.
Before letters p And t at the beginning of a word or part of a compound word s → w: Spray → spree. Before vowels single s → h, otherwise s → from.
In a position between a vowel and a consonant (or between a vowel and e) h omitted in transcription. In other provisions h → X.
The tradition of transmitting everywhere h → G Today it is considered obsolete, but many names and surnames are transmitted precisely according to this rule: Tannhauser → Tannhäuser, Heisenberg → Heisenberg.
The "transcriptor" does not know how to divide German words into syllables and compound words into parts.
letter combinations gk And tz passed according to the rules gk → G, tz → c.
doubled ll It is conveyed in different ways, depending on the position in the word:
between vowels ll → ll: Ellerbach → Ellerbach;
At the end of a word and between consonants ll → ll: Tellkoppe → Tellkoppe;
In other positions ll → l or eh.
Before vowels l → l, before consonants and at the end of words l → eh.
In German names and titles v → f: Volkmar → Volkmar. But in names of foreign origin v can be transmitted through in: Crivitz → Krivits.
"Transcriptor" always transmits v how f.
Doubled (long) German vowels are always transmitted as one: Klopeinersee → Klopeinersee.
Doubled German consonants are transmitted as doubled and in transcription if they are in a position between vowels or at the end of a word. In other positions, doubled German consonants correspond to one consonant letter of transcription: Blatt → Blatt, Schaffran → Saffron.
letter combination ck corresponds kk in a position between vowels, otherwise ck → to: Becker → becker, Dick → Dick.
