071 - Learn to Speak German - German Survival Phrases - Wo ist der Bahnhof?

Most cities in Germany or Switzerland have a train station and in most cases this is located at or near the center of town. So, even if you do not travel by train, it is always a good idea to know where the train station is located.
That is why we will learn to ask for directions to the train station (Bahnhof) or other points of interest today.

train station - der Bahnhof
where - wo
is - ist
city hall - das Rathaus
metro - die U-Bahn
left - links
right - rechts

The mountains on the photo are called Grosser und Kleiner Mythen and are right next to the town called Schwyz. They are quite famous and can be seen from most of central Switzerland.

Hey Stephan, I actually started from your 2007 episodes a while ago, and the stories with PDFs were great. But just about a soon as I got to about lesson 30, they stopped and you started doing random things with no PDFs. I know they were a lot of work, bu they really made all the difference. I think the Italian thing is much too hard, and there seems to be no order corresponding o the difficulty of the lessons. I am thinking of stopping my downloading, so I hope you will address me. Please email me (I thikn you will get it when I post this). I would be great to hear from you!

By the way, if you don't get my email address, just ask.

Hi Isaac,
you are right, I stopped building on the session because i just don't have the time. You might like the new series with survival phrases, though.

Hello Stephan

Thank you for the new post. You asked, and I just wanted to say that these lessons are a little slow for me.

I do like vocabulary building lessons, and I have learned many words from your lessons - so that's very good to maintain. I was also wondering if we could have a few small grammar lessons from time to time? For example prepositions (aus, bei, mit, nach, usw.) or adjective endings or verb conjugations?

Thanks!
Carl
