Then just dial "+49" instead of the inner-German "0" and you should be 
fine (give the "*" key a long press to get the "+").

There's a long tradition of learning English as the first foreign 
language at German schools, so you can expect at least the question "Do 
you speak English?" to be understood. Typical answer would be "a bit", 
and chances are you'll be able to communicate with them in your native 
language. Virtually nobody will expect you to try to speak German.

Make sure though to choose a low transmission rate, do your best to 
improve the signal-to-noise ratio, and expect some retransmission 
requests ;-).
