Alltag

Practise the real conversations — the ones at your level first.

For your level

Im SupermarktYou will be here every week. Finding things and getting through the checkout quickly take about five sentences.A1.1→
Im CaféOften your very first conversation in German — and short enough to get completely right the first time.A1.1→

Your first weeks · a bit harder

0 / 7

What most newcomers need early, in order. Above your level — start with “With English”, it works from A1.

Anmeldung beim BürgeramtWithin two weeks of moving in. Without the Meldebescheinigung there is no bank account, no tax ID, no contract.A1.2→
Fahrkarte kaufenA ticket inspector does not accept „I didn't know“: riding without a valid ticket usually costs 60 Euro. Buying the right one is a short conversation.A1.2→
Konto eröffnenRent, insurance and your semester fee all need a German account with a real IBAN.A2.2→
Krankenkasse anmeldenHealth insurance is compulsory, and a university will not enrol you without proof of it. It is also the paperwork most people do in their first fortnight, in German, before they are ready.A2.1→
In der ApothekeGerman pharmacies keep most things behind the counter, so you have to ask out loud for what you want. Doing it once badly is how everyone learns.A1.2→
Arzttermin am TelefonMost practices only book by phone, the line is busy, and they speak fast. Say who you are and what you need in the first ten seconds.A2.1→
Beim ArztDescribing symptoms is the one conversation where guessing a word is genuinely risky.A2.1→

A bit harder10 more situations, for later→

Extra practice for real situations — not a separate A2 or B1 course. Many of the words come later; “With English” helps you through.

Paket abholenDeliveries in Germany go to a neighbour, a shop, or a Filiale, and the slip in your letterbox is in German. Small, frequent, and it teaches the vocabulary of every counter.A1.2→
WG-BesichtigungYou are competing with twenty other people for one room. What you say in ten minutes decides it.A2.1→
Vorstellungsgespräch für einen MinijobA Minijob is how many students start working here. The interview is short — clear answers about you and your hours matter more than perfect grammar.A2.1→
Notruf 112112 is free from any phone, even without credit. The dispatcher asks the questions in a fixed order — answer short, and do not hang up first.A2.1→
Aufenthaltstitel verlängernThe appointment with the highest stakes and the longest waiting time. Book it months early: an expired permit is a problem no amount of good German fixes afterwards.A2.2→
Lärm beim NachbarnIn Germany most noise problems are solved at the door, not by the landlord. Quiet hours are usually 22 to 6 — and a friendly first talk works best.A2.2→
Vertrag kündigenGym, phone, insurance — German contracts renew themselves unless you cancel in writing and on time.B1.1→
Im PrüfungsamtDeadlines, registrations and Attests are all handled by one office that assumes you know the rules.B1.1→
Handwerker anrufenDescribing a broken thing down a phone line, to someone who cannot see it, with no face to read. The hardest everyday German there is, and unavoidable the first winter your heating dies.B1.1→
NebenkostenabrechnungOnce a year a letter arrives saying you owe several hundred euros. Mistakes in these statements are common, and you have twelve months to object — in writing, in German.B1.2→
