Hi German is a highly structured language and has many similar words to English. Do start with very short sentences ( subject- verb then subject-verb-object). I= ich You= Du ( for one person) Sie ( for many persons) We= Wir Then the verb ( it is conjugated, eg adapted to to subject) To go= gehen I go = ich gehe You go= du gents or Sie gehen We go= Wir gehen You can find the verbs tables on the net. Use just present ( no future, pSt or conditional form in a first run). Useful verbs: To be= sein To have= haben To go = gehen To say= sagen To learn=lernen You ll see that some verbs have always the same endings ( regular verbs) and other not ( unregular verbs). Some objects to make your first phrases: A book= win Buch ( nouns are always written with a capital). A friend= ein Freund. A house= ein Haus An exercise= eine Übung Let s try and viel Spass ( have much fun).
