In German, small words called particles are often used to make conversations sound more natural and friendly. This deck will teach you four common phrases that use these particles. We'll learn them as fixed chunks to be memorised, without analysing the grammar.

First, let's look at a way to make an invitation more encouraging. If you're inviting someone to come with you and they seem hesitant, you can say 'Komm doch mit.'. It's a warm way of saying 'Why don't you come along?'.

Next, a very common phrase to ask someone to wait for a short time is 'Warte mal.'. It's an informal and natural way to say 'Wait a moment' or 'Hold on'.

To make a question sound more conversational and show genuine interest, you can use the particle 'denn'. For example, to ask about someone's holiday, you can say 'Wie war denn dein Urlaub?'.
