Hi, I'm learning German. I just wanted to know if anybody has any useful phrases, colloquial would be great. Either way, it would be great to here from someone. Or if you know any good websites. Thanks.

I think the above mentioned are really good and common and also foreigners know them:
Alles klar? = Everything's ok?
Macht nichts!=Doesn't matter.
Geht es dir gut?= Are you ok?
Was macht das Leben?=How's life going?
Wie geht's, wie steht's?= Just: How are you?
Schönen Tag noch!=Have a good day.
Viel Spaß.=Have fun.

Well I'm in Switzerland so the colloquial is quite different, but let me see...
First of all the person above got the phrases fine and the pronunciation clear but the spelling way off:
Was ist los?
and Alles klar!
One I need a lot is "Entschuldigung": excuse me. Also "Es tut mir Leid" which is "I'm sorry" but more literally "it gives me sorrow".

A favorite used often in Germany is "Macht Nichts" = "Makes no difference"
