Travel Words

Guten
Tag - Do you like foreign languages? Well, we do, and German is a fun and
exciting language to know how to speak (even though we can't say everything yet). As you may already know,
from our picture dictionary title above we are talking about travel words.
Have you ever gone anywhere by yourself? Not that you would ever go to Germany
for the first time by yourself, but you may need to get somewhere while
you are there, and you might want to know where the bus station is. The flight attendant who
may speak German may ask you in German "Where's your suitcase?" You wouldn't
know what they were saying. So, look at this website because it may help.
These words may not be helpful to you right now, but you never know, someday
you may find that you need them.

and move it so you can see the words as you hear the pronunciations.
