They should learn common greetings, polite phrases, numbers, question words, and simple sentences first. Practise saying each expression out loud, then use it in a short conversation. Below is a list of commonly used words and expressions that are good to learn at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The examples above are written in standard German. To pronounce these words correctly, please keep in mind that \u00e4, \u00f6, and \u00fc are three separate vowels. Also, \u00df is spoken as &#8220;ss&#8221;. Since nouns are capitalised in German, try to memorise the article along with the noun when you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>100+ German Phrases for Beginners<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>No.<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>German Word or phrase<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Meaning in English<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Simple German Sentence (Example)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Hallo<\/td><td>Hello<\/td><td>Hallo!
