Modern Germans tend to have embarrassingly good language skills. I was in Frankfurt some years ago and found that the ticket machine at the rather dismal industrial railway station was broken, so with some trepidation I boarded the train without a ticket. When the ticket collector approached me I was rather worried. I said "der Fahrkartenautomaten ist kaput". Instead of replying with a huge compound word for "That'll-be-a-penalty-fare-mate-fare-evasion-is-a-criminal-offence-you-know", or having me arrested for fare dodging, he said "I'm sorry about that sir, at which station did you board the train?".

Ya, ein bischen.

Actually, that's more than you know - 'Ja' has no 'y' in it!

Obviously I was writing it phonetically...
