Film trailers a495a

I was wanting to find out whether there was a trailer for the film I was going to see, and as I didn't know what the German word for trailer was, I decided to make it up: Vorspiel. I reasoned that it would mean something like "before the performance". However, it was clear from the surprised/amused look on the ticket seller's face that I'd got it wrong. It turns out I asked whether there'd be any foreplay... oops! Trouble is, I still don't know what I should have said - I just know I won't be asking that again!

Editor’s note: You were on the right path. The German word for trailer is Vorschau.
