To ask “how are you?” in German you can say wie geht’s dir?, or in a more formal situation, wie geht es Ihnen? In this episode of Coffee Break German To Go, Julia asks this question to passers-by in the streets of Berlin. You can use the answers of our interiewees to help you learn to answer this question yourself.
In the first part of the video, watch the interviews without subtitles and try to understand. In the second part of the video, we’ve provided subtitles in German at the top of the screen. You can choose to turn on subtitles in English using the Subtitles/CC button.
In our first series, Julia is in the city of Berlin, and in each episode she’ll ask passers-by one question. Of course, that one question will result in many answers, and it’s through these answers that you can practise your German and build your vocabulary.

It is good to hear different native german speakers.Maybe the more unusual phrases you could add a translation, eg.supergeil?
Thank you
You can turn on the subtitles and get a translation of the words spoken. Hope that helps.
