You can get along famously in Germany knowing only the following 3 phrases:

1. Ein Bier bitte

2. Noch ein Bier bitte

3. Wo ist der W.C.

Ah my German is a little more advanced than that, but every time I stumble through trying to communicate in German they immediately switch to English. It's not like I can blame them, I wouldn't have time for my fumbling halting German either.

Does make it hard to get practice though.

What I'd do if I lived in Germany is every day read the front page of the newspaper, looking up every word I didn't know.

Due to the internet, I encounter a lot more German than I used to. For example, Netflix runs a lot of movies Auf Deutsch, and I try to figure out what they're saying.
