Gud Morgen= Good Morning

Gud Nacht =Good Night

......Hope this helps :D

Many Germans, especially in larger areas, speak excellent English.  A smile and an attempt at a few words and most will happily start to speak English.  Have a great time!  : )

Guten Tag!-Good Day

Sprechen Sie English?-Do u speek english?

Wieviel kostet das?-how much does this cost?

Entshuldigen Sie mir bitte!-Excuse me

Answer 11

It would be good to speak a few words of German to be polite, but many people there speak English, so you won't have to learn a lot. Just please, thank you, hello, that sort of thing. Buy a German phrasebook to take with you.

My daughter (native English speaker) lives in Germany and has learned to speak the language fluently in less than 12 months.  All the best for your exchange.

Tschuss! (Goodbye!)
