How I struggled ordering food in a german restaurant ! Hi I'm Boris and this is my story. Sometimes ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Germay for a three month work. As a native french speaker who learn english on daily work basis, I wasn't good in english apart from greeting and saying good by. So once in Germany, my day work at the office where cool. Everybody was supportive, trying to speak in english so I can get involved in the business. That what all fine, but what happen after the office ? Things started hardening. You know when you are dropped in the street, you with no collegue, you have to manage your life. So I was hungry and the need to eat came. That is how I found myself in the nearby doner kebap. Well every start with the : me : Halo Cooker : Halo me (trying to order) : "Bitte ich meutche ein -" Yeah you got it. I was blocked. I didn't know the name of the food, so want to know what I did ? I pointed it with my finger. Imagine yourself saying you want something without knowing the name, and pointing it with the finger so your correspondant could figure out what it is. Cooker (As he understood I was't profficient was trying to tell the food I ordered was finished) : "Nein Nein... No (By shaking his hand horizontally to indicate me the food was finish". And I started again and, thankfully, And American who was around took over the conversation by helping me translate english to german and german to english. After we started laughing. I got my food said thanks to the American, and to the Cooker to. When back home and started training on German. Thank you for reading.
