How do you introduce yourself in German?

Introducing yourself is one of the first things you learn in A1 level German because it is essential for making new connections. When meeting someone for the first time, you can start with:

• Hallo! Ich heiße Anna. (Hello! My name is Anna.)

• Ich bin 25 Jahre alt. (I am 25 years old.)

• Ich komme aus Frankreich. (I come from France.)

You can also add more details about yourself:

• Ich wohne in Berlin. (I live in Berlin.)

• Ich bin Student. (I am a student.)

• Ich arbeite als Lehrer. (I work as a teacher.)

If you want to ask someone about themselves, you can say:

• Wie heißt du? (What’s your name?)

• Woher kommst du? (Where are you from?)

• Was machst du beruflich? (What do you do for a living?)

Practicing self-introductions in A1 level German will help you feel more comfortable in social and professional situations.
