ADVICE

Master The Basics First

  • Learn German numbers zero to ten thoroughly before tackling larger prices and figures.
  • Spell unfamiliar multi-digit numbers by saying each digit aloud to avoid confusion when shopping.
INSIGHT

Mind The Tricky Sounds

  • German pronunciation has tricky sounds like the guttural "ch" in acht and a silent-sounding ending in fünf.
  • Practising these specific sounds helps avoid common pronunciation errors early on.
ADVICE

Ask And State Prices

  • Ask “Wie viel kostet das?” to find out a price in German.
  • Use “Es kostet fünf Euro” or “Es kostet fünf Euro” variants to state prices clearly.
