An important one to master.

“Kiez”

“Geil”

Though your language app might say otherwise, this word is used to describe something cool.

“Späti”

Späti refers to the corner stores around the city, that are open late (spät means late) and cater to the night owls.

“Ick”, not “ich”

Ich means “I” and it’s usually pronounced eeysh. Though not in Berlin. Here you’ll hear people pronounce it something closer to ick.
