Greetings is the fourth skill in the German language tree. It has three lessons that teach a variety of greetings, closing phrases and other common German phrases.
Grammar Notes[]
Greetings like Guten Tag and Auf Wiedersehen might seem to be the same as Hallo and Tschüss but they are more formal greetings - that is, ones you'd use with people you don't know as well.
Pronounciation Notes[]
A lot of German words seemingly have an extra "h" in them, but this indicates that the vowel before it is held for a little longer than usual:
- eh = kind of like the English "eh?" or the ending of the word "day".
- oh = long "o" sound like "zone".
