Where are you from?
This next lesson will teach you how to say where you come from and how to ask other people where they are from. As a reminder, the only thing that changes when you speak formally is the word “you.” When speaking formally you use “Sie.” However, when speaking informally you can use “du.”
The following are the formal and informal ways to ask where someone comes from.
FORMAL: Woher kommen Sie? – Where do you come from?
INFORMAL : Woher kommst du? – Where do you come from?
In order to answer this question, you would say…
Ich komme aus…
And then finish the statement by saying where you come from. There are other variations of asking someone where they come from. They are written below.
Wo kommen Sie her? – Where do you come from?
Wo sind Sie her? – Where are you from?
Wo kommst du her? – Where do you come from?
Wo bist du her? – Where are you from?
Also, to answer the question you can say “Ich bin aus…” . The difference between these is similar to the difference of the ways we would answer in English. We can say “I come from…” or “I am from…” They both mean the same thing.

The alphabet in German is similar to English, but the pronunciations are different and there are four special characters.
a
b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ä ö ü ß |
ah
beh tseh dhe eh eff geh ha ee yot kah ell em en oh peh kuh err ess teh ooh fau ceh iks upsilon tsett long a (like air) (similar to the e in jerk) yuu estsett (double s) |

In general, German vowels are pronounced like their names: a=ah, o=oh, e u I
The special characters look similar to the “regular” letters, but they have umlauts and are pronounced differently:
a=ah but ä=ehh (like in the beginning of English word air.)
o=oh but ö= (similar to the e in jerk.)
u = ooh but ü = you
These key letters are often mispronounced:
J: makes the sound of the letter “Y” in English. “Ja.” sounds like “Ya.”
V: makes the sound of the letter “F” in English. “Viel” sounds like “Feel.”
W: makes the sound of the letter “V” in English. “Wieder” sounds like “Veeder.”
Z: makes the sound of the letters “TS” in English. “Zehn” sounds like “Tsayn.”

In German, if you want to say a number that does not end in zero, like 25, you essentially say five and twenty.
25 = fünfundzwanzig, pronounced fünf-und-zwanzig.
This applies to all numbers that end in a non-zero:
37 = siebenunddreiBig
175 = hundertfünfundsiebzig
25 = fünfundzwanzig, pronounced fünf-und-zwanzig.
This applies to all numbers that end in a non-zero:
37 = siebenunddreiBig
175 = hundertfünfundsiebzig
