English to German translation: Native translator's would be most helpful.?

I am travleing to Germany in August to visit my friend and his family. How do I say to his parent: "Thank you for inviting me into your home and helping me come to Germany. I have brought gifts to show my appreciation." Pronunciation tips will be appreciated.

Also when I address his parents do I use Mr. and Mrs., and what's another formal way to show respect to German parents?English to German translation: Native translator's would be most helpful.?
Ich danke Ihnen, dass Sie mich zu sich nach Hause eingeladen haben und mir geholfen haben nach Deutschland zu kommen. Ich habe Gastgeschenke f眉r Sie mitgebracht.



To his parents you can say "Herr %26lt;last name%26gt; and "Frau %26lt;last name%26gt;" or you use the formal pronoun "Sie", e.g. "K枚nnen Sie mir helfen?" (Can you help me?). I'm sure, they'll understand Mr. and Mrs as well, but I think it would be nice to use the German terms.



Pronunciation tips are difficult here. I don't know if you're already having some basic knowledge of German, but just try to speak slow ;-)English to German translation: Native translator's would be most helpful.?
Ich danke Sie mich bei Ihnen Zuhause eingeladen zu haben und mir geholfen in Deutschland eintretten zu lassen. Ich habe manche Geschenke mitgebracht um euch meine Anerkennung auszustellen.



When you address older people you should always use

Herr Schmidt, Frau Schmidt or Meinherr, Frau Olga.



For the pronounciation you have to read the brief gramatical section that comes in most dictionaries.English to German translation: Native translator's would be most helpful.?
Simply say" Danke f眉r die Einladung. Ich habe auch Geschenke mitgebracht. "

The easier, the better.

Don麓t forget a decent handshakes when meeting for the first time. I think it麓s pretty much the same as with american parents...
