In this video we learn the expressions for telling the time in German.

The phrases we cover are:

What is the time? - Wie spät ist es?
It is one o'clock. - Es ist ein Uhr.
It is two o'clock. - Es ist zwei Uhr.
It is ten past two. - Es ist zehn nach zwei.
It is a quarter past two. - Es ist viertel nach zwei.
It is half past two. - Es ist halb drei.
It is twenty to three. - Es ist zwanzig vor drei.
It is quarter to three. - Es ist viertel vor drei.
It is midday. - Es ist Mittag.
It is midnight. - Es ist Mitternacht.

Note that for half past the hour, the German phrase takes the following hour and expresses this as half way to the next hour. So, 'half past two' is expressed as 'half way to three.' Note that automatic translating software, such as Bing Translate and Google Translate currently do not account for this and therefore provide incorrect translations of this phrase.
