Learn German with GermanPod101.com! Well, you made it to Munich after that painfully long night of driving and up ahead in the distance, you see a hotel. Your friend pulls into the hotel and you decide that he will do the talking since he speaks better German. As you approach the German hotel clerk, your friend tells him in German, “Good evening! We need a double room, please.” The clerk, looking annoyed at the interruption, asks in German, “What is your reservation number?” Getting annoyed himself after the long drive and the rudeness of the German clerk, your friend replies in German, “We don’t have a reservation. We have been driving all night and did not know if we could make it in time. Do you not have a free room?” The clerk, still acting rude, answers in German, “Yes, lucky for you (though you are beginning to think maybe not), we are not out of rooms yet. Here is your key, find it yourself.” Trying very hard to hold back because you both are exhausted and need a hot meal, your friend replies in German, “Thank you, we definitely will not need the room more than one night.”
