Mr. Speaker

How to say it in German?

I need to make a call to Germany and have no idea if a person who'd answer the phone speaks English. So, how do I say:

My name is.... I am calling from US... do you speak English? Does anybody at your office speak English?

Many thanks for help/Danke schen

Actually, MG, no - the company I am about to call is a very small real estate firm in a small provincial town in East Germany. And I am calling them because my US customer needs to sell a property there and I am happy to go an extra mile for him.

I would start off with saying..

Hallo ich bin (Your Name) von USA, sprechen sie english? Macht irgendjemanden an Ihrem Büro sprechen English?

Hallo Ich bin - is Hello I am your name from USA, do you speak English? Does anyone at your office speak German?

I will double check with two of my Native friends for Grammar or any errors in this. I am usually very close but always return to correct it once I speak to them.

Hope that helps

I'm quite sure they speak english there because most people in Germany do.
My name is.....Mein Name ist
I am calling from US.....Ich rufe aus den USA an.
Du you speak English?....Sprechen Sie Englisch?
Does anybody at your office speak English.....Spricht irgendjemand in ihrem Büro Englisch?
[You don't use ü in english but you can pronounce it like an u, they will understand that.]
"Danke" means thank you.


still in love
i would say: Hallo, mein name ist ( say your name here ),
ich rufe aus den USA an. Ich spreche kein Deutsch. können sie mich bitte mit einem Kollegen , der Englisch spricht, verbinden? danke

Hallo? Hallo? Verstehen Sie mich? [fur-stay-ayn see mick?]
Ich rufe aus Amerika an. [Ick roo-fay ous u-mere-ee-ku unn]
Können Sie jemanden rufen, der Englisch spricht? [Kunn-ayn see yay-mun-denn roo-fayn deer English spree-k-t?]

(Do you understand me?
I'm calling from America.
Can you call someone who speaks English?)

I know, I know... German is almost as difficult as French.

Almost.

flame me, frog-eaters. Frogs are best eaten with Kraut.

I guess you are about to call a company that has some sort of international connections, otherwise you wouldn´t be calling them from the US, right? ;)

So no worries, everybody will be able to perfectly understand you. Plus, you are very free to simply play stupid and say "This is XY, I am calling from the US and would like to ...." - if the person doesn´t speak English, they will recognize the language and immediately interrupt you to connect you to a colleague.

Absolutely no worries. :)
