Kultureller Hintergrund
Politeness is a social barrier. Using 'Je voudrais' helps you be accepted as a respectful outsider. While French is the same, the tone is often slightly more relaxed, though the grammar remains formal.
The 'Si' Trick
Always use 'si' (if) when your question is a yes/no question. 'Je voudrais savoir si...' is the most common pattern.
