What You'll Be Able To Do

Introduce Yourself

Say your name, where you're from, what you do, and ask others the same. Handle greetings and goodbyes naturally.

"Ich heiße... and the world opens up"

Handle Everyday Situations

Order food, buy groceries, ask for prices, navigate a bakery or supermarket without pointing and hoping.
