We must not forget that native speakers constantly use set expressions that often cannot be translated literally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These idioms bring conversations to life and ensure that your German sounds more natural and fluent. For example, if someone says <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201eThat\u2019s a weight off my mind\u201c<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it is not about real stones, but about the feeling of relief. Such figures of speech are typical of the German language. Exactly these are the ones you should know if you want to use German in everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Idioms for small talk and encounters<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small talk is one of the most important situations when learning German.
