    Hi all! :D I'm preparing for the German Oral Exam at the moment and was just wondering if any of you could share any good conversational German phrases? :) I'm referring to phrases similar to "Mar is eol duit" and "Chun an fhirinne a rá" in Irish that could just be thrown in at the start of sentences. I think phrases like these sound very good in conversation, and so I was hoping maybe some of you could share any that you know :) thanks very much for reading, any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Stuff like 'Meiner Meinung nach..'- in my opinion or 'ich hoffe dass....'- I hope that.., can be quite useful. However try and use as wide a variety of vocabulary and link phrases as you can. Simple stuff e.g ich glaube, ich finde, will still be grand. Try to be as natural as you can when speaking, not desperately trying to introduce these phrases as much as possible, that way you'll sound a lot less 'rote-learned'.
