Hello David,

welcome to Berlin! Its an good idea to visit the German capital city.  Go to:

https://www.visitberlin.de/es - you´ll find an app, Sightseeing tours and Events.

https://www.newinthecity.de/de/berlin with informations about culture, leisure time, and universities.
Train your basic words online at:  http://deutschtraining.org/wortschatz-deutsch/

BY THE WAY: The people in Berlin are very communicative and they help you if you have questions. The "In-Quarter" is Kreuzberg.
My insider tip: if you see a "Straßenbahn" (tram), you are in the former East-Berlin. In West-Berlin they were abolished in 1967. 
Have a nice time in Berlin. I love this city.
Doris

Hi David,
are you already in Berlin? Please let us know. Here a dictionary with with words in "Berlin-Deutsch".  The Berlin people use for example a many French-German expressions. A lot of French people ("Hugenotten") came to Berlin in the 18th century. There were persecuted for religious reasons. If  you are interested in typical Berlin words, look here: http://www.spreetaufe.de/berlinerisch-berliner-jargon/woerterbuch-berlinisch-a-h/
In any case you must try the "Berliner Weiße",  a beer with juice.
Have a nice time in Berlin!
