A valuable addition to any German text/phrasebook.
Bei der Post
In the Post Office
Ich: Entschuldigen Sie, verkaufen Sie hier einzelne Briefträger?
Me: Exuse me, do you sell individual postmen here?
Postarbeiter: Errr..nee, wir verkaufen aber Briefumschläge, aber nur in den Paketen
Postal worker: Errr...no but we do sell envelopes, but only in packets
Ich: Also...Briefumschläge (Gedanken: Ich bin Idiotin)
Me: So...envelopes (thoughts: I am an idiot)
However I did tell the lady at the bank my address was wrong to no ill effect, so it wasn't all bad.
