First Impressions: Greetings and SalariesBefore you introduce yourself, you’ll likely need to begin with a greeting. In German, the standard, everyday hello is "Hallo." However, German greetings can change depending on the time of day. In the morning you could say "Guten Morgen" (Good morning), in the afternoon, "Guten Tag" (Good day), and in the evening "Guten Abend" (Good evening). To say goodbye, you might say "Auf Wiedersehen" (Goodbye) or, in a more casual setting, "Tschüss" (Bye).

Sich Vorstellen: Introducing YourselfNow that you have mastered greetings, it's time to introduce yourself. The most common phrase in German to introduce yourself is "Ich heiße...," which means "My name is..." followed by your name. If you want to ask someone their name, you would say "Wie heißt du?"
Another way to introduce yourself is by saying "Ich bin..." followed by your name, which literally translates to “I am…”.
Saying your nationality may also come up in introductions. For that, you would say "Ich bin..." and then your nationality. For example, “Ich bin Amerikaner” (I am American) or “Ich bin Australier" (I am Australian).

Getting to Know Each Other - Asking QuestionsAsking questions is a vital part of getting to know someone new. In German, you can ask “Wie geht es dir?" to inquire about someone’s well-being, which translates to "How are you?" The standard response to this is "Mir geht’s gut," which means "I’m fine."
If you want to know more details about a person's life, here are a few questions you could ask:
"Woher kommst du?" — Where are you from?
"Wo wohnst du?" — Where do you live?
"Was machst du beruflich?" — What do you do for a living?
"Wie alt bist du?" — How old are you?
