How to sound like a pro in German

Have you been studying German for ages but you still feel that you're not good enough? The question is: does anyone actually feel good at German? Probably not, but using a figurative language will boost you to a native speaker level.

Here are 5 sentences that will make you sound like a pro.

  • Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof

    Heidelberg Hauptbahnhof

    When you're in the middle of a conversation and you only catch a few words, this is probably the best sentence to use. It litterally means "I only understand station".

  • Aller Anfang ist schwer

Are you struggling with something new for you? Don't worry every beginning is hard for anyone.

  • Ich habe einen Kater

    German beer, oil on canvas.

I'm pretty sure you're gonna use this one a lot. It means "I've got an hangover".

  • Liebe geht durch den Magen

    No description needed.

Food is life, food is love. Are you spending a special dinner with someone special? This sentence will be the icing on the cake. Its meaning? The way to the heart is through the stomach.

  • Das Haar in die Suppe suchen

It litterally means " looking for the hair in the soup" and it's a synonimous of nit-picking. Being fussy never sounded that good.
