German trains do typically announce in English. If they don't, that's the exception. Just ask around. Most people here speak English and will be able to repeat what was said, especially if they're under 40 or so.

> Most people here speak English

Germany is the country where I found the highest number of people not being able to speak English, even people working in accomodation!

French people probably know English but they refuse to speak it; Italians don't know English that well, but they try their best using rolling R's and gestures.

(I'm a bit ironic)

I've learned they very quickly switch to English if you speak to them in German :)

English people can speak Italian though, just add a vowel-a on-a every-a word-a

Announcements in English aren't done for every station. Usually only for central stations and airports.
