Basics 1

Welcome!
Hallo!
Did you know that German and English are in the same language family? German might seem tricky, but there are also a lot of similarities. Welcome to the German course! Let’s get started.
So many capitals!
In English, we capitalize some words, like people’s names. In German, you capitalize all nouns!
Kaffee und Tee
coffee and tea
Wasser or Vasser?
Wasser
Wasser, wir (as in “vine”)
Junge
Junge, ja​ (as in “yes”)
tschüss
tschüss (as in “chew”)
Oh, hallo!
Hallo and tschüss are typically used with friends. So, until next time:
Tschüss!
