Lager is just lager, or if you want something specific, then just say it.

"Ein bier bitte" or "Zwei bieren bitte" (of course, it's different if you want lager...)

Shouldn't that be "Zwei Bier"? I don't think it takes a plural in that context. Not that I'd know anything about beer-drinking...

I was trying to be funny there, since lager is different from bitter, and the German for "please" is "bitte". It doesn't work well on the 'net, and probably isn't that funny normally either. Damn.

I don't think that particular pun warranted anything like that much effort! To be fair, it's probably had more than it deserves already.

Oh, when I see how easy english is (I learn it since 3 years and look, I'm able to understand you), I would say that german is very difficult.

"Zwei Bier" < That's right

If you have any questions about german, you may ask me. PN or here. But: Frankfurt a.M. (by "Main") or a.O (by "Ruhr")

@OMG
If I understood you right, you can't say it in german. You cannot say a lot of things in english, but that one you can't say in german. You could say "Wo ist die Party, die die ganze Nacht geht?" (Where is the Party, which takes the whole night) but "Where is the all night party" isn't possible.

I think you should do some parading and casually chatting Deutsche Frauen up by say 'Ja ja Europop', but I hear that's frowned upon in Frankfurt.

Other things include 'Wo ist die Disco' (Vo ist dee Disco) and also 'Ich bin ein Schnueffler (Ish bin ine Shnoofler)'.

Hehey, robotangel will understand that

I have some other things too by the way.

I'll take a Bratwurst = Ich nehme ein Bratwurst (Ish naymer ine Bratvurst)
I don't speak German (could be handy) = Ich spreche nicht Deutsch (Ish Spreshe nicht Doytch)
I've been learning German for a week = Ich lerne Deutsch seit eine Woche (Ish lerne Doytch zite iner Vohke)
That's delicious (after a beer or something) = Das schmeckt (Das shmekt)

Oh and ich lerne Deutsch seit einen Jahr also es ist scheisse... es tut mir leid.

Assuming you're a brit (for some reason), Ich bin brittisch (Ish bin british) is going to help. As is your passport.

On looking back on it, I actually look like a total moron with my last post. Oh well.
