überhören

The verb überhören is a false friend which looks as though it should correspond to the English verb to overhear. In fact it means to not hear or sometimes to ignore in other words, to fail to hear something either intentionally or unintentionally. The phrase Das habe ich leider überhört is equivalent to the English I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.

The verb to overhear in the sense of hearing something by chance is best translated using the construction zufällig hören. I overheard them plotting together could be translated into German as Ich hörte zufällig, wie sie gemeinsam etwas ausheckten.

Kneipe
In German pubs you can order light meals in the evening as well as during the day. Drinks are normally brought to the table by a waiter or waitress whom you pay when you are ready to leave rather than a round at a time, and to whom it is customary to give a tip. Many pubs have a Stammtisch that is reserved for regular customers. In Austria, a Kneipe is called a Beisel.
