How to Say ‘Are you also’ in German

Bist du auch

Berlin bureaucracy requires real German. This app got me from zero to handling my Anmeldung appointment in three weeks. My coworkers couldn’t believe it.

Relocated to Munich with my family. The everyday scenarios — grocery shopping, doctor visits, school meetings — are exactly what we needed to settle in.

Marcus J., 40, Engineer

I tried five different apps before this one. The roleplay conversations are what finally made things click. I actually remember what I learn now.
