Great to see you again! Last time we learned how to say hello in German. Today we're learning how to say goodbye politely - the perfect way to end any German conversation.
Imagine you're leaving a German café after eating a delicious Brezel, or finishing a football match with German friends. Knowing the right goodbye makes you sound polite and friendly!
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Say 8 different German goodbyes with confidence
- Choose the right goodbye for different times and situations
- Practice real goodbye conversations with a partner
Here are 8 useful German goodbye phrases. Click each one to hear how it sounds, then repeat after the audio. Notice how some are casual (with friends) and others more formal (with adults).
Think about when you would use each one - before you go home at night? After school with friends? These phrases will help you sound like a real German speaker!
See the English phrase first and try saying the German goodbye before flipping the card. Can you remember them all? Say each one out loud to help it stick in your memory!
The goodbye phrases are hidden in the word search grid! Click and drag to highlight each one when you find it. Listen to the audio each time you discover a word.
Your teacher will hand out worksheets. Draw lines to match each English goodbye to its German translation. Use today's phrases!
