Koko 3,944 Posted March 7, 2012 Note: THIS IS FROM MY MEMORY, SOMETHINGS MAY NOT BE ACCURATE, BUT ONCE I GET A HOLD OF MY NOTES I WILL UPDATE THE EXAMPLES ARE WORD LISTS AS WELL AS ADDING SIMPLE PHRASES AND ETC. Why not? Okay first lesson kiddies, the basics. Let's learn the forms of to be. Singular I am ich bin You are du bist He/She/It is er/Sie/Es ist Plural We are wir sind You are ihr seid They are sie sind You are Sie sind Ihr seid is basically You (guys) are while Sie sind (note: you must capitalize Sie) is the more formal way of saying You are. Now look at this chart. Memorize it. It is the basis of german. MEMORIZE IT. With just this you can say a variety of things by just learning some other easy words. Like 'Ich bin Koko' Just simply put my name and now I can say 'I am Koko' in German. In statement forms, the forms of to be are in the order as in the chart, but it flips when asking a question. I probably can't explain this properly but some example are: Why are you cold? Warum bist du kalt? Are you hot? Bist du heiss? Are you Koko? Bist du Koko? Who are they? Wer sind sie? Here is a list of words (right now these are the ones off the top of my head, I will update it as time passes). Kalt Cold Kuhl Cool Heiss Hot Schlect Bad Gut Good Wunderbar Wonderful Nett Nice Nicht Not Warum Why Wo Where Wer Who Was What Familie Family Hound Dog Cousin(male) Cousin Cousin(female) Cousine Freund Friend 6 Think Pink, Shana09, TheKingdomkid and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do I just say it the wayI would in English? ch is sort of with a k sound but not exactly the W in German is pronounced as a V the V in German is pronounced as a F the F in German is pronounced as a F. It's hard to teach pronunciation through text. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
