Right now, Philip has just landed at the Berlin airport, am Berliner Flughafen. At the airport → am Flughafen. He has just picked up his luggage and now he's looking for the local train station to catch a train into the city. But where is the station, der Bahnhof? Where is the train station → Wo ist der Bahnhof? He needs to ask someone. We'll listen to him asking:

Philip: Entschuldigung, wo ist der Bahnhof?

Philip begins his question with "Entschuldigung". This means "Excuse me".

Try to say it: Entschuldigung

Very good.

Now we'll hear the answer. The lady Philip has asked is pointing him in the right direction.

Dame (Lady): Der Bahnhof ist da hinten.

Philip: Ah, vielen Dank!

This means: Thank you very much. Vielen Dank.

Repeat after me: Vielen Dank.

The lady replies:

Dame: Kein Problem!

This means: No problem. Kein Problem.

try saying it: Kein Problem

Very good! Sehr gut!
