Anyone who has ever seen anything remotely German will know what Guten Tag means and will probably casually say it.
Ich komme aus is also a bit obvious, but I just forgot that at the time. Ich nehme will do fine. Why not just say ich spreche nicht Deutsch? But anyway thanks for the help. Good for a real German to help us . |

LOL
hehe... Just talk in English :P ... The most people will understand you. And I know when I read this topic: "Deutsch ist schwer." (German is difficult). Good to have it as my mother-language. And: With seven, you won't really learn english in germany. You won't learn any vocabulary or something like that. You'll lern "Hey, it's good weather today" without really know what it means. Next year, my sister will get in form 3, the first year. I could copy some pages from her exercise-book. Me begun to learn english in form/class 5. With everything (time, vocabulary)... Some words maybe you'll need these - Hallo (Hello) - Wie geht es dir? (How are you?) - Guten Morgen (Good morning.) - Guten Abend (Good evening) - Könnte ich etwas zu Trinken bekommen? (May I have something to drink?) - Könnte ich etwas zu Essen bekommen? (May I have something to eat?) - Das ist sehr lecker (That's very delicious.) You can remove the "sehr" (very) Ask, if you want to know something special. |

In fact, if you did say that auf Deutsch it would be a blatant lie...

Can't you also just say 'Wie gehts?' and also 'Das Schmeckt?'
Oh by the way, I've been learning German for just under a year and can only speak in 2 tenses. Oh well. |

Don't say "Das schmeckt". Don't ask why, don't say it. It doesn't sound good. Say "Das ist lecker" or something. You can say "Das schmeckt gut."
@tenses Oh, I think a lot of german people don't know in which tense they are speaking. In my first year English, I knew three tenses in English... Not much more... |

english tenses are horrible though; auxiliary verbs queuing up all over the place...

German grammar and Icelandic are pretty similar.
