off to the right start. The German language tends to be a bit more formal than American English. Consequently, introductions in German follow more of a pattern than they sometimes do in the United States. Don't worry, it’s not complicated — just good manners.\r\nIntroducing yourself\r\nFirst impressions are important — they can start a friendship and set the tone for your entire meeting.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nStart with a greeting.\r\nThe simplest greeting is Hallo or Guten Tag, which means Hello or Good Day. If you're in Southern Germany, they say Grüß Gott instead.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nIntroduce yourself.\r\nThe two most common ways to introduce yourself are to say Ich heiße Name (My name is Name) or Ich bin Name (I'm Name).\r\n\r\n\r\nBecause the Germans are more socially formal, they follow a strict sense of etiquette at work. In business settings, introductions are only made by those in authority. So, if someone starts working at an office, her boss would be the one to introduce her to the other people in the office.\r\n\r\n\r\n \t\r\nSince you are meeting the person for the first time, you should use the more formal form of you to ask their name.\r\nSie, which is formal “you,” is polite and can be used when speaking with a new acquaintance, elder, or person in a high office. With friends, family, and children, use informal du (you). Ihr is the plural of du.\r\nWie heißt du? (What’s your name? [Informal])\r\nWie heißen Sie? (What’s your name? [Formal])\r\n\r\n \t\r\nAfter they tell you their name you should express pleasure.\r\nCommon ways to express this are:\r\nSehr angenehm. (Nice to meet you!)\r\nEs freut mich Sie kennen zu lernen. (It's a pleasure to meet you.) (Singular/Formal)\r\n\r\n\r\nIntroducing other people\r\nThe second most common type of introduction is to introduce someone else, such as your spouse, child, or friend. The following phrases are typical of introducing someone else.\r\n\r\n \t\r\nKann ich meine Frau, Fabienne einführen? (May I introduce my wife, Fabienne?).\r\n\r\n \t\r\nDas ist mein Freund, James. (This is my friend, James.)\r\n\r\n\r\nWhere are you from?\r\nDon't need to stop at basic introductions; you could also take this opportunity to talk about where each of you is from. To tell them where you're from, say Ich komme aus den USA. (I’m from the United States.)\r\n\r\nTo ask where the person is from, you can say:\r\n\r\n \t\r\nWoher kommst du? (Where are you from? [Informal])\r\n\r\n \t\r\nWoher kommen Sie? (Where are you from? [Formal])\r\n\r\n \t\r\nAus welcher Stadt kommst du? (What city are you from?)\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you want to talk about where you live on the other hand, you can use the verb wohnen, which mean to live:\r\n\r\n \t\r\nWo wohnst du? (Where do you live?)\r\n\r\n \t\r\nIch wohne in Bremen. (I live in Bremen.)\r\n\r\n","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":195720,"data":{"title":"How to Make Introductions in French","slug":"how-to-make-introductions-in-french","update_time":"2016-03-26T22:02:03+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Academics & The Arts","slug":"academics-the-arts","categoryId":33662},{"name":"Language & Language Arts","slug":"language-language-arts","categoryId":33687},{"name":"Learning Languages","slug":"learning-languages","categoryId":33689},{"name":"French","slug":"french","categoryId":33695}],"description":"Learning the proper way to make introductions in French can help you get off to the right start.

Of course, you can use the tu form when speaking to children even if you’re meeting them for the first time. The following questions are posed in both the tu and vous forms.\nComment t’appelles-tu? (What’s your name? [Informal])\nComment vous appelez-vous? (What’s your name? [Formal])\n \n After they tell you their name you should respond.\nIt’s customary to acknowledge the introduction by making an expression of pleasure. Common ways to express this are:\nEnchanté (Delighted).\nEnchanté de faire votre connaissance. (Delighted to make your acquaintance.)\nC’est un plaisir de vous rencontrer. (It’s a pleasure to meet you.)\nIf they’ve beaten you to the punch and said one of these lines to you first, the appropriate response is De meme (Likewise).\n \n\nWhere are you from?\nDon't stop at basic introductions. You could also talk about where each of you is from or introduce someone else. If you're from the United States, you can tell them where you're from, by saying Je suis des États-Unis. (I’m from the United States.) To ask where the person is from, you can say:\n\n De quel pays es-tu? (What country are you from? [Informal])\n \n De quel pays êtes-vous? (What country are you from? [Formal])\n \n\nIf you want to talk about where you live on the other hand, you can use the verbs habiter or vivre, both of which mean to live:\n\n J'habite à Chicago. (I live in Chicago.)\n \n Je vis à Chicago. (I live in Chicago.)\n \n\nThe second most common type of introduction is to introduce someone else, such as your spouse, child, or friend:\n\n Je vous présente Fabienne, ma femme.

After all, first impressions are important — they can start a friendship or set the tone for your interaction with someone.\nThe Russian language is more formal than American English. Likewise, introductions in Russian follow more of a pattern than they sometimes do in the United States. There is a right way to greet people and a wrong way. In fact, if you botch your greeting, you may get a funny look or even offend the person you're addressing.\nStart with a greeting\nTo greet a person you know well, say zdravstvuj (ZDRAH-stvooy) (hello) or privyet! (pree-V'EHT) (Hi!). To greet people you don't know well (or a group of people), say zdravstvujtye (ZDRAH-stvooy-t'eh) (hello).\nNote that the first letter v in zdravstvujtye is silent. Otherwise, it would be hard even for Russians to pronounce!\nHere are some other ways to greet people, depending on what time of day it is:\n\n Dobroye utro! (DOHB-ruh-eh OO-truh!) (Good morning!)\n \n Dobryj dyen'! (DOHB-rihy d'ehn'!) (Good afternoon!)\n \n Dobryj vyechyer! (DOHB–rihy V'EH-ch'ehr!) (Good evening!)\n \n\nMaking introductions\nMaking a good first impression is important for the beginning of any relationship. In English, introducing yourself is the best way to start a conversation with somebody you don't know. Not so in Russian. Russians like to begin with first suggesting to get acquainted. They have two ways to say this:\n\n Davajtye poznakomimsya! (duh-vahy-t'eh puhz-nuh- koh-meem-suh!) (Let's get acquainted! [formal/plural])\n \n Davaj poznakomimsya! (duh-vahy puhz-nuh koh-meem-suh!) (Let's get acquainted! [informal])\n \n\nIf somebody says one of these phrases to you, you should politely accept the suggestion by saying:\n\n Davajtye! (duh-vahy-t'eh!) (Okay! [literally: Let's!] [formal/plural])\n \n Davaj! (duh-vahy!) (Okay! [literally: Let's!] [informal])\n \n\nOnce you've agreed to become acquainted, it's time to exchange names. The following phrases will help keep the introductions rolling.\n\n Myenya zovut . . . (Mee-N'AH zah-VOOT . . .) (My name is . . .).\n \n Kak vas zovut? (kahk vahz zah-VOOT?) (“What is your name?”) (literally: What do they call you? [formal])\n \n Kak tyebya zovut? (kahk tee-B'AH zah-VOOT?) (“What is your name?”) (literally: What do they call you? [informal]).\n \n Eto moj znakomyj (EH-tuh mohy znuh-KOH-mihy) (This is my acquaintance [m])\n \n Eto moya znakomaya (EH-tuh mah-YA znuh-KOH-muh-yuh) (This is my acquaintance [f])\n \n\nAfter you're introduced to someone, you may want to say, “Nice to meet you” which is ochyen' priyatno (OH-cheen' pree-YAT-nuh) (literally: very pleasant) in Russian. The person you've been introduced to may then reply mnye tozhye (mnye TOH-zheh) (same here).\nHow are you?\nGreetings and introductions are usually accompanied by a \"How are you?\" The most common ways to ask how someone is doing are:\n\n Kak dyela? (kahk dee-LAH?) (How are you? [informal])\n \n Kak vy pozhivayetye? (kahk vih puh-zhih-VAH-eh-t'eh?) (How are you? [formal])\n \n\nAs you'd expect, when someone asks you how you're doing, there are many possible responses.\n\n Khorosho (khuh-rah-shoh) (good)\n \n Normal'no (nahr-mahl'-nuh) (normal or okay)\n \n Nichyego (nee-chee-voh) (so-so [literally: nothing])\n \n Nyeplokho (nee-ploh-khuh) (not bad)\nThe common response for this is to ask the person how he or she's doing. Simply say A u vas? (ah oo vahs?) (And you? [formal]) or A u tyebya? (ah oo tee-B'AH?) (And you?)\n \n","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":195687,"data":{"title":"Common Conversational Words and Phrases in German","slug":"common-conversational-words-and-phrases-in-german","update_time":"2016-03-26T22:01:50+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Academics & The Arts","slug":"academics-the-arts","categoryId":33662},{"name":"Language & Language Arts","slug":"language-language-arts","categoryId":33687},{"name":"Learning Languages","slug":"learning-languages","categoryId":33689},{"name":"German","slug":"german","categoryId":33696}],"description":"By mastering the basics of polite conversation, you can put yourself and the person you're talking with at ease. You'll find that there are many words and phrases that come up in most everyday conversations. Everyone should take the time to learn these common conversational words and phrases in German before traveling.\nBeing polite are just as important in German-speaking countries as they are in America. The following words and phrases cover most of the pleasantries required for polite conversation. After all, learning to say the expressions of common courtesy before traveling to a German-speaking country is just good manners.\nCourteous phrases\nja (yes)\nnein (no)\nbitte (please)\ndanke. (Thank you.)\nBitte schön. (You’re welcome.)\nKein problem. (No problem.)\nEntschuldigung! (Excuse me; sorry)\nnatürlich (of course)\nrichtig (correct)\nVielen Dank. (Thank you very much.)\nNein, danke. (No, thank you.)\nEs tut mir leid. (I'm sorry.)\nVerzeihen Sie. (Forgive me.)\nPersonal pronouns\nOnce you've mastered the common pleasantries, the next important thing to learn is how to refer to people. The most common way we refer to people is by using personal pronouns. In German, the pronouns (you and they) are complicated by gender and formality. You'll use slightly different variations of these words depending on to whom you are referring and how well you know them.\nich (I)\ner (he)\nsie (she)\nes (it)\nwir (we)\ndu (you [singular/informal])\nihr (you [plural/informal])\nSie (you [singular, plural, and formal])\nsie (they)\nSie, which is formal “you,” is polite and can be used when speaking with a new acquaintance, elder, or person in a high office. With friends, family, and children, use informal du (you). \nReferences to people\nWhen meeting people in German-speaking countries, be sure to use the appropriate formal title. A man would be called Herr, which is the same as Mr. or Sir. A woman is called Frau whether she is married or not.\nIt is also helpful to know the correct vocabulary term for referring to people based on their age, gender, or relationship to you.\nder Mann (man; husband)\ndie Frau (woman; wife)\nder Junge (boy)\ndas Mädchen (girl)\ndie Familie (family)\ndas Kind (child)\nder Vater (father)\ndie Mutter (mother)\nder Sohn (son)\ndie Tochter (daughter)\nder Bruder (brother)\ndie Schwester (sister)\nder Freund [M]; die Freundin [F] (friend)\nThe gender of a noun determines the article you use with it. With masculine (M) nouns, you use ein (a; an) or der (the). With feminine (F) nouns, you use eine (a; an) or die (the). With neuter (N) nouns, you use ein (a; an) or das (the).\nPhrases for travelers\nThere are some phrases that are particularly helpful to international travelers. Below are several phrases that might come in handy during your stay in a German-speaking country.\n\n Entschuldigung! (Excuse me. [as in may I have your attention].)\n \n Nichts, danke. (Nothing, thanks.)\n \n Sprechen Sie Englisch? (Do you speak English?)\n \n Ich spreche Englisch. (I speak English.)\n \n Ich spreche nicht viel Deutsch. (I don't speak much German.)\n \n Können Sie das übersetzen? (Can you translate that for me?)\n \n Ich verstehe nicht. (I don't understand.)\n \n Bitte wiederholen Sie! (Will you please repeat that?)\n \n Können Sie langsamer sprechen? (Could you speak slower?)\n \n Was brauchen Sie? (What do you need?)\n \n Ich brauche Auskunft. (I need some information.)\n \n Ich brauche Hilfe. (I need some help.)\n \n Ich habe mich verlaufen. (I'm lost.)\n \n Wohin gehen Sie? (Where are you going?)\n \n Ich weiß nicht. (I don't know.)\n \n Ich gehe zum Park. (I‘m going to the park.)\n \n Das Museum ist nicht offen. (The museum isn't open.)\n \n Kein Mensch versteht es.
