My schoolboy German goes about as far as "Wie komme ich am besten zum bahnhof, bitte?"

 

However, I am still laughing at the sign in Frankfurt International that reads "sperrgepackausgabe"; only the Germans could have a word for Outsize Luggage Reclaim Area...

German is like 2 languages the normal one you are speaking and the officalese version that nearly nobody understands and everybody has to read through 3 times until something makes sense! we really have words like:

 

Lebensberechtigungsbescheinigung

 

bedarfsgesteuerte Fu
