We're right in middle of the Oktoberfest 2014 season, and whether you're celebrating in Germany or anywhere else in the world, you're bound to have a jolly ol' time. To get even more in the spirit while you're celebrating the festivities, you'll want to be in-the-know when it comes to fun German phrases (and know what they mean).

1. Prost!
This means, "Cheers!" Always prost with eye contact while you clink each others' steins.
2. Wies'n
This is the nickname for Oktoberfest.
3. Ein, zwei, drie!
(pronounced ine, tsvy, dry)
This means, "One, two, three!" There is bound to be at least one countdown happening at some point.
4. Mehr bier!
This means, "More beer!" I mean...who goes to Oktoberfest for only one bier?
5. Brezeln
This means, "Pretzel." Those giant soft pretzels are tough to pass up. They just taste so good with a stein full o' beer.
6. Bitte? Danke!
These are "Please" and "Thank you!"
