    GRAMMAR
    The focus of this lesson is Self Introduction in German

    Topic 1: How to Introduce yourself in an informal situation

     Sentence from the lesson:

    'Hallo, ich heiße Laura. Schön, dich kennenzulernen'


    "Hi, I'm Laura. Nice to meet you."

    1. Start by saying: Hallo, ich heiße ...

    2. Say your name. Hallo, ich heiße Laura.


    3. You say: Schön, dich kennenzulernen.

    Topic 2: How to Introduce yourself in a formal situation

    GERMANPOD101.COM LEARN GERMAN IN THREE MINUTES #1 2


    Sentence from the lesson:

    'Guten Tag, ich heiße Laura Meier. Schön, Sie kennenzulernen.'


    "Good day, I'm Laura Meier. Nice to meet you."

    1. Hallo has been substituted with the formal greeting Guten Tag, German for "good day."

    2. Ich heiße Laura has not been changed; ich heiße simply means "I am," however during a formal self
    introduction we also say our last name, so I said Laura Meier. Here, you would say your full name.
    3. Pay attention to the ending: we went from DICH kennenzulernen to SIE kennenzulernen. What is
    changing is the German word for "you." In a formal sentence, we use the more polite word Sie.

    Language Tip!

    When you introduce yourself, it's a good habit to shake hands. If you are not sure whether to use schön,
    dich kennennzulernen or schön, Sie kennenzulernen just say simply sehr erfreut, as I said at the
    beginning of this lesson. If you use the correct sentence with German people, they're definitely going to
    be impressed!
