German Vocabulary & Phrases Guide — 300+ Essential Words & Phrases for Your Move to Germany

Moving to Germany for an Au Pair placement, work, or study? This is the phrasebook you actually need — built specifically for real situations you'll face, not textbook small talk.

What's inside (30 pages):

5 core vocabulary categories to build from — numbers, days, family, common verbs, colors

25 real-life situations fully covered: emergencies, doctor visits, the Amt (registration office), banking, the pharmacy, apartment hunting, the airport, hotels, phone/internet contracts, university, the hairdresser, and more

Every phrase in English and German, side by side — ready to read out loud

3 bonus grammar tips explaining why German works the way it does, not just what to memorize

Who it's for: Anyone heading to Germany for an Au Pair year, Ausbildung, studies, or work — and anyone who wants practical German they can actually use from day one, not just vocabulary lists.

Why this guide works: We built it around the situations that actually trip people up — the Amt, the pharmacy, the landlord conversation — not generic travel phrases. It's the same practical approach behind our daily "German mistake" series on Instagram (@visualgermanacademy).

This is your starting point. For the grammar behind the phrases — why articles change, why cases matter, why the verb moves — join our live A1–B2 classes at visualgermanacademy.com.
