I know only a few words of German, but multilingualmum (aka Jane Welton) provided her expertise for this language printable: 10 useful things to say in German.
Jane is a freelance writer, translator and teacher living in South West London with her husband and their 11 year-old daughter. Jane has spent a lot of time in other European countries and is bringing up her daughter speaking French and German as well as English. She’s also worked as a teacher of deaf children so she’s interested in sign language as well.
