Because German is the official language of so many beautiful countries, it’s not surprising that German is a popular choice of a new language among beginners. German has a reputation for being difficult to learn. However, once you have a handle on the basic structure, it’s much like any other language.
As a new language learner, there are some basic beginner building blocks in German that will help you off to a good start. These are common German words and greetings that are essential to know when starting out. Here is a list of beginning basic words and greetings to start building your German word bank:
- Ja = Yes.
- Nein = No.
- Bitte =Please.
- Danke = Thank you.
- Hallo = Hello.
- Guten Morgen = Good morning.
- Guten Tag = Good day.
German Lessons For Beginners
While some online language learning apps promise that you can learn a language in just a few minutes a day, there is a significant difference between memorizing vocabulary lists and speaking a language. Learning a new language is more than just learning the words.
