Lighton’s vassa (Tap water. The waiter will look at you weird because you didn’t ask for beer, but say it again and you’ll get your water.)
Sprecken see English? (Do you speak English?)
Isch Sprecken Kein Deustch. (I do not speak any German ~> very helpful when people start talking to you in German and you have no idea what they’re saying)
Entrue-D-gong (Excuse me, both to get people’s attention and to say sorry, pardon me, etc)
Bitte (We think this may mean several things: You’re welcome, please, go ahead, pardon me, and sorry? (ie, when you can’t understand what the person said and are asking them to repeat.) )
