rather try to find out how each word is pronounced.

Goodbye! Auf Wiedersehen!*

Wiedersehen! (shorter)

Bye! Tschss!*

Ciao! (pronounced as in Italian)

Servus! (used in southern Germany and eastern Austria, informal)

See you later! Bis spter!*

See you! Bis dann!*

Bis bald!*

See you soon! Bis gleich!

Good night! Gute Nacht!*

*You will need to know each expression with an asterisk (*) after it. The others, of course, would be useful

to know if you are traveling to regions where they are used. (As you can see, the different German-speakingregions often have their own ways of saying hello and goodbye. However, you will not be required to know

any of these less common phrases for any problems or tests.)

The more formal phrases are guten Morgen, guten Tag, and auf Wiedersehen. The less formal ones are

tschss, Tag, servus, and ciao. The others are somewhat neutral on the formal-informal scale.

Problems: Hellos and goodbyes

Mr. and Mrs. [edit]

In German, Herrand Frauare used instead of Mr. and Mrs. before a last name; e.g., Mr. Schwarz Herr

Schwarz.

Vocabulary: Mr. & Ms. Herr und Frau

Sorry,

English German

Mr. Herr

Mrs. Frau

Frauis used for married and unmarried women. Some people still use Miss Frulein in spoken German

but it is no longer used in written German since it is considered an inappropriate discrimination of unmarried

women.

Literally, der Herrmeans the gentlemanand die Fraumeans the woman. If you use these words without a

last name after them, you have to use an article before them; e.g., der Herror die Frau. This is actually just

like in English. For example:

The woman's name is Mrs. Wei Die Frau heit Frau Wei.

Note also that the German translation of the manis der Mannand the ladyshould be translated to die

Dame. Thus, without last names you would rather use these pairs:

man and woman Mann und Frau

men and women Mnner und Frauen

lady and gentleman Dame und Herr

ladies and gentlemen Damen und Herren

Problems: Mr. & Mrs.

Problems: Wie geht's?

Test [edit]

The test consists of three parts: pronunciation, vocabulary, and translation. As always, you should write

down your answers before you check them. (Writing the German words is in fact a great way to practice the

spelling of German words.) The vocabulary and translation problems are all from English to German

because this is what you have to learn if you want to communicate in German. Once you are able to

translate an English word to the corresponding German word, it won't be any problem to translate the

German word back to English.

Problems: Pronunciation

Problems: Vocabulary

Problems: Translation
