How do I learn common German greetings and introductions

To learn common German greetings and introductions, one can start by familiarizing with basic phrases used in everyday social interactions such as greetings, self-introductions, and polite expressions.

Here are some common German greetings and introductions:

• Greeting someone:
  • Hallo (Hello)
  • Guten Morgen (Good morning)
  • Guten Tag (Good day)
  • Guten Abend (Good evening)
• Introducing yourself:
  • Ich heiße [Name] (My name is [Name])
  • Mein Name ist [Name] (My name is [Name])
  • Ich bin [Name] (I am [Name])
• Asking someone their name:
  • Wie heißen Sie? (formal) / Wie heißt du? (informal) - What is your name?
• Polite expressions for meeting someone:
  • Freut mich, Sie kennenzulernen (formal) / Freut mich, dich kennenzulernen (informal) - Nice to meet you
• Saying goodbye:
  • Auf Wiedersehen (Goodbye)

Learning these phrases by practice, using language apps, watching videos, or taking a beginner’s German course can help build confidence in greeting and introducing oneself in German. Repetition and using the phrases in real-life conversations will improve fluency and retention of common greetings and introductions. Let me know if help is needed with pronunciation or more phrases.
