hello alex, i'm french but i can give you some current sentence

english = german 1) when you know the person, like a friend, 2) when you don't know the person or if he/she very respectable

-how are you = 1) wie geht es dir 2) wie geht es ihren
-what's your name = 1) wie heiSSt du 2) wie ist ihr name bitte
-how old are you = 1) wie alt bist du 2) wie alt sind sie

i = ich
you = du
he = er
she = sie
it = es
we = wir
you = ihr
they = sie

good morning = guten tag
thank you = danke
please = bitte

german can confirm or correct me if i am wrong...

german=>english

the "w" are pronounced as a "v"
the "ie" are pronounced as a "e"
the "i" are pronounced as a "e"
"er" are pronounced as "air"
"es" are pronounced as "aiss"


for the rest, the germans will be more able to explain ;)

auf wiedersehen :D = goodbye

"auf wiedersehen" pronounced as ~"ahohf vedeurzaeheun"

Oh my goodness, How do i pronounce that??
How are you? - Wie geht's ? Pronunciation "Wee gates ?"
What's your name? Wie heisst Du? Pronunciation "Wee highst to ?"
How old are you? Wie alt bist Du? Pronunciation "Wee ult beast to?"
The intonation in questions must increase:the last word is the most important :lol:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I like you- Ich mag dich Pronunciation "Eash mug deash"
**** you- Fick dich Pronunciation "Feak deash"
Goodbye- TschuesPronunciation "Choose"
The intonation in statements must decrease.
