What They Didn't Teach You in German Class: Slang Phrases for the Cafe, Club, Bar, Bedroom, Ball Game and More (Dirty Everyday Slang)

With each trip to Germany, my family finds that our German classes just aren’t providing what we need. Thank goodness for “What They Didn’t Teach You in German Class.” Since my husband travels with his laptop and needs to keep in touch with his office, the terminology and information provided in the “Talking tech” chapter is very valuable and will allow him to communicate and find wifi connections easily.Traveling with my teenagers, we have seen all the “typically German” young people described, and these explanations will help us navigate the people we meet on our next trip and help them determine the kids they may want to hang out with. My son is into sports, and we go to Germany with “see a soccer game” at the top of his list. The chapters, “Sports and Games” and “The National Team” is all we need to at least get to the game and speak a bit to people sitting next to us. After that, the game is all we need. There will be chapters you might not need in “What They Didn’t Teach You in German Class” – but what you need is surely there.

This book is the PERFECT book for anyone who wants to speak german when... they're actually in Germany. I don't know about you, but our german professor never taught us how to ask for a proper pint, or how to ask a gentleman caller up for a night cap ;) Want to hook up with a dude? No problem - einen kerl abschleppen. Say that 10 times fast and maybe it will actually happen? What I love about this book is that it also has tips or reasons why a translation is the way it is. It should come as no surprise to anyone that "grab the bong" aka die blubber holen's translation of blubber comes from the blub blub sounds when you smoke a bubbler. These translations are absolutely hilarious and the tips and explanations for translations are the best. It even has something for the mean girl in everyone - because as the book mentions, spend enough time in germany and you'll find a few ugly folks too ;) This book will teach you a thing or two but also have you cracking up the entire time. It is so funny and dead on.

Great book. Not for children as it has a large amount of kink, sex, and dirty talk in it. Not a problem for me since that's what I wanted it for but please don't buy it for a child then complain it has sex in it. There are plenty of subjects and from asking my German boyfriend, they are all correct (the ones I have asked about anyway). From what I can tell, this is a very good product.

As the title states, this is not a book for beginning to speak German. This book is a great book for anyone that is going to be traveling or spending anytime in a German speaking country or with someone who only speaks German. The subjects are widely varied from Meet & Greet, Booze, Bars, & Clubs, Smack Talk to Friends and Family. This book is a “sort-of follow up to Dirty German. This is a slang book. The format is easy to read and looking up a term you may need in conversation is easy to find. I really like that there is a grammar review for readers to refresh the memory. This book will help you not to sound like a tourist.

This book covers...everything.

This book is hilarious! I love it! It also gives some cool tips! I literally LOL while reading this book.

This is a book full of naughty phrases and R-rated content. My 13-year old bought it to give to his sister for a present for her upcoming exchange trip ... it has to go back! BEWARE that the language is not appropriate for all ages.

This is a very entertaining and informative book. When I speak with my family in Germany the language is pretty tame with some Denglish mixed in so I figured if I wanted to learn slang, other than dialect, I would have to buy this book! This book also gives the writer's insight into German culture which is also entertaining. Personally I think that knowing some German is a benefit in reading this book. I plan on purchasing a version of this book in other languages!

If you already have this authors book called dirty german then you don't need this book as it is the exact same just with a different cover. Wish I had saved my money.

Very handy to see how flexible the language is. The book also includes references to pronounciation and suggests when context is important.
