Practice phone calls in German before your trip

Heading somewhere people answer the phone in German? The calls you make on a trip, like confirming your hotel, booking a taxi or reserving a table, are often harder than talking face to face: no gestures, no menu to point at, and people speak fast. A little practice in German before you go makes those calls much less stressful.
