Yes, most hotels will speak English. Most restaraunts will have English languages menus also. But you should try to use German when you can. You will be surprised at how much easier it is to get around. |

no worries,
English is widely spoken in Germany... as everyone has taken English in High School.
most people know basic english but be patient and speak clearly and not to quick.
you will have no problems in hotels
Enjoy Germany |

English speakers very common. Best to try and speak German, they will become frustrated at your attempt and usually reply in English. The Germans all take English in school. |

Pretty much anyone under the age of 60 pretty much understands basic English, especially in the urban areas. |

They are more common then you may think. I went over there visiting and found all the hotels I stayed at, they did speak english. Most people seemed to know english, if not basic english. So not to worry, you will be fine. |

English-speakers abound in all areas of Germany, as it's mandatory to take several years of English in school there. To what degree they've used it and are proficient in English depends on the individual... and I've known more than a few who pretend not to know English to avoid having to talk to you. You shouldn't see that too often, though. I would in fact be surprised if you found a hotel where they didn't at least have a rudimentary understanding of English. I would highly recommending familiarizing yourself with at least a basic understanding of German, not only because it will help you understand how to find things and to ask for help, but because like in most countries, Germans do appreciate it when you at least try to speak in their language. |
