How to Meet and Greet in German
What does it take to start a conversation?
In many cases, a smile, a simple hello, or a sincere thank you is all it takes.
And that’s exactly what we’re going to learn in this lesson. After that, you’ll be ready to start your first conversation in German 😊
First, get acquainted with the vocabulary for greetings and other basic phrases in German here.
Then, try the vocabulary exercise here.
💡And if you´ve wondered why we say guten Morgen, guten Tag, guten Abend, but gute Nacht — check out our community forum #grammar-roots-and-faq on Discord.

Now that you’ve learned some key expressions in German, let’s practice together 🙌
Practice Time
Do at least one of the suggested activities to apply what you’ve just learned in real communication.
- Go to the comment section and say hello to other learners — according to the time of day where you are. In my case, it’s a beautiful, sunny morning in Berlin, so I’ll start with: Guten Morgen aus Berlin! ☀️🐻
- Go to the chat room #meet-and-greet on Discord and share with us when morning, day, evening, and night begin and end for you personally and in your country.
- Go to the Libelle community forum on Discord #say-hi-here and share your first German word with us.
Danke und tschüss! 👋😊 See you in the next lesson!
Guten Morgen aus Berlin! ☀️🐻
