This book suits travellers, language learners, and anyone interested in exploring the informal and humorous side of German. It is ideal for people seeking to move beyond textbook language towards playful, street-smart communication, but it is not suitable for beginners or those wanting formal language only.

Learn the slang words, modern phrases, and curses they definitely never taught you in German class with this super-handy and hilariously improper English-German phrasebook.

You already know enough German to get by, but you want to be able to tell those inside jokes, greet your friends in a laid-back manner, and casually pick someone up at a bar.

From 'what's up?' to 'Wanna go home with me?' Dirty German will teach you how to speak like you're a regular on the streets of Berlin. But you'll also discover material that goes beyond a traditional phrasebook, including:

  • Hilarious insults
  • Provocative facts
  • Explicit swear words
  • Themed German cocktails
  • And more!

Next time you're traveling to Germany, pick up this book, drop the textbook formality, and get dirty!
