Handy
The relatively new false friend Handy is the normal word in German for mobile phone. Zum Glück hatte ich mein Handy dabei might therefore be translated as Fortunately I had my mobile phone with me.
The German, however, has nothing to do with the English word handy meaning convenient or useful. This adjective is best translated by the word praktisch in German. So you might translate the sentence a mobile phone comes in very handy these days by Ein Handy ist heute sehr praktisch.
Biergarten
Beer gardens originated in Bavaria but can now be found throughout Germany, although it is mostly in Bavaria that customers are allowed to bring their own food along when there is a sign saying eigene Brotzeit erlaubt. Some beer gardens are situated in parks and are not attached to pubs.
