Today we are going to learn some useful, everyday phrases in German.
Repeat after me auf Deutsch and then in English.

Hallo. Wie geht es dir?
Hello. How are you?
*
Mir geht es gut. Danke für die Nachfrage.
I am doing well. Thank you for asking.
*
Ist das nicht der Tag wunderbar deprimierend?
Isn’t the day wonderfully depressing?
*
Meine Seele ist schwer mit Bedauern.
My soul is heavy with regret.
*
Die Liebe ist verwirrend zu dem kleinen Kind aber klar, der Mann auf dem Totenbett.
Love is perplexing to the little child, but clear to the man on his deathbed.
*
Früher haben wir in den Keller gehen und ziehen Trapeze in der Kohlenstaub.
We used to go down to the basement and draw trapezoids in the coal dust.
*
Der Supermarkt abgebrannt. Wir verhungern.
The supermarket burned down. We starve.
*
Bis morgen. Auf Wiedersehen.
See you tomorrow. Goodbye.

This concludes today’s German Lesson.
And remember: learning isn’t just fun, it’s a blanket for weeping souls!
Thank you, Michael. These will be very useful on my next holiday in Getmany. I shall try to find plentiful opportunities to say. “Meine seele ist schwer mit Bedauerne” 😀

The closest I get to German is the potato salad. Which probably may or may not be an actual German recipe. I’ve heard it is a particularly difficult language for American English Speakers to master.
