Survival German 101

After listening to some rather funny German songs (like this one) that Emman shared with me, my passion for picking up more German vocab was re-ignited. Here are some of the more important (imho) survival phrase and word list (that I think will take a long, long time for my teacher @ class to arrive at in teaching). This shows that I'm an independent learner and a keen student. Ja?

Was ist los mit dir? >>> What's wrong with you? (can be used in a genuinely unconcerned, and truly exasperated way)
Was auch immer. >>> Whatever. (I think it's supposed to be used in a sentence, and not with the V+V hand gesture)
Überhaupt nicht! >>> Not at all!
Was wollen Sie von mir? >>> What do you want from me?
So ist das Leben! >>> That's life!
Das geil! >>> That's cool!
Das prima! >>> That's great!
Wetten das? >>> Wanna bet on that?
NatÜrlich >>> Naturally (aka "Of course!")

and last but not least...
ficke >>> fuck / shag

*me beams... for being such a keen student!*
