Day 1 — German alphabet & basic greetings (A1)

Ziel (Goal): Get familiar with German letters, basic sounds and simple greetings so you can say hello and introduce yourself very simply.

1. Alphabet & Sounds

• Learn the German alphabet with audio (A, B, C … plus Ä, Ö, Ü, ß). Say each letter out loud after the audio.
• Repeat the alphabet 2–3 times slowly. Focus on clear mouth movement, not speed.
• Spell out loud: your full name, your wife's name, and "Dubai" using German letter names.

2. Basic Greetings

• Learn and repeat: Hallo, Guten Morgen, Guten Tag, Guten Abend, Gute Nacht, Tschüss, Auf Wiedersehen.
• Practice short lines like: Hallo, ich bin …, Guten Morgen, Wie geht es dir?, Gut, danke.
• With your wife, perform a 6-line greeting dialogue only in German.

3. Mini Speaking Task (With Wife)

• You: “Hallo, ich bin [Name].”
• Wife: “Hallo, ich bin [Name].”
• You: “Guten Morgen. Wie geht es dir?”
• Wife: “Mir geht es gut. Und dir?”
• You: “Mir geht es auch gut. Tschüss.”
• Wife: “Tschüss.”

4. Quick Writing (Very Short)

• Write your name and your wife's name in German letters.
• Write 3 greeting lines you want to remember and read them aloud.

Hinweis: Do not chase perfection. Today is only about getting your tongue used to new sounds and saying a few basic lines.
