Things You Ask at School

Here are some basic things you will ask or state at school. Don't worry about literally translating these for now, just learn them as they are useful :

Ich habe keine Ahnung : I have no idea
Ich verstehe das nicht : I don't understand that
Ich habe eine frage : I have a question
Wie schreibt man das? : How do you write (spell) that?
Kannst du das noch einmal sagen? Can you say that again?
Sprick langsamer : Speak slower
Kannst du das buchstabieren bitte? : Can you spell that please?

If your mind shuts down and you cannot work out what you are being asked by the teacher then you can always say 'bitte? which means 'please?' and is also a request for more information or help. Blank stares usually do the same job.
