Translation:
One Döner with everything
A cappuccino and a piece of cake
Pay by card please
Thank you
Do you speak English?

Also, protip: DeepL will get you through reading menus/signs that don’t have English

I would say that my first six months here, these went a long way:

Ein Döner mit allem
Ein Cappuccino und ein Stück Kuchen
mit Karte bitte
Danke
Sprechen Sie Englisch?

Also, you’ll find most Berliners in service industry know/speak English, so don’t sweat it too much!

I worked on Y2K as one of my first projects in tech. I guess this means I’m closer to retirement. 🫣

That’s just it, I think it comes down to personal preference. I prefer lighter chewy bread and anything with butter, so French is best. Sounds like @aashiks.bsky.social has the pumpernickel taste. My husband loves German Rye brotchen. And there is merit to the Japanese milk bread!

I feel like these are fighting words that come up in my household, I think the French have better bread 😆

There’s no accounting for taste in Denmark it seems, they left the best goalkeeper of the Bundesliga (Frederik Rønnow) on the bench for years until he resigned.
