Wilkommen

In preparation for my trip, I've been trying to learn a few words in German. Both from my Learn German in Your Car CDs and via this cool website, Livemocha (which I bought a Groupon for). Here, a summary of what I can say in Deutsch:

Good morning/afternoon/evening
Goodbye
Please
Thank you
Beer
Wine
Numbers (1-11)
A few colors
Car
Truck
Train, train station

And a few key phrases:

I don't understand
Where is the bathroom?
How much does it cost?

We shall see how far this gets me. I'm guessing I throw out one "Danke" and speak English the rest of the time.

Auf wiedersehen!
