More DescriptionEver wanted to know how you say that you put all your eggs in one basket? Ever wanted to say you are so mad an are about to, hit the roof' Ever wanted to be abole to actually understand what is being said on the telephone? I mean, surely, English speakers don't speak polite ALL the time! Well, neither do the Germans! The Germans phrases represented in this book are almost exclusively used all over Germany. They are also used in other german-speaking countries e.g Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg. However it is worth noting that the german language has many different dialects e.g the german spoken in Hessen (Hesse) is a lot different than the german spoken in Bavaria (Bayern)This book focuses more on, Hochdeutsch' phrases or, standard german', as this is best used for business, education and is more easily understood. The Swiss german in particular is very different from the standard german, so these phrases are suited best for Germany!
