You can cope by trying to learn the basics prior to your arrival. I'm sure the young population and those up to their 40's are able to speak english, they will just find you more polite when they see your effort in trying to learn theirs.

This free website will be very helpful if you are willing to put some effort into learning :)


I hope this helps you

Almost all Germans speak English to an extend where you can have a basic communication with them, ask for the way, order food, etc.
For a visit, no German language skills are needed (things are, of course, very different if you want to live here and have social interactions with them).

Hi, you can speak English in Germany. We all learn English at school and you shouldn´t have a problem with your English.

You will do okay. As long as you can speak English.
Where are you going in Germany?
Good Luck
