A German Phrase for Asking How Someone Gets to Work: "Wie kommst du zur Arbeit?"

"Wie kommst du zur Arbeit?" means "How do you get to work?" and it's the basic German expression used to ask how someone commutes or usually gets around. It's a handy conversation starter. To answer, you can say something like "Ich fahre mit dem Fahrrad." (I ride my bike). You can keep the conversation going by reacting with something like "Das ist gesund!" (That's healthy!).
