Lesson Transcript

Hi everyone! I’m Alisha.
Welcome to Conversational Phrases!
We’ve found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you’ll use in real conversations.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to ask the question, "When is your birthday?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to ask and answer about the date of an event.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Wann ist Ihr Geburtstag?
Am 4. März.
Once more with the English translation.
Wann ist Ihr Geburtstag?
“When is your birthday?”
Am 4. März.
“It's on March 4th.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say "When is [event]?"
The pattern is: Wann ist [event]?
“When is [event]?”.
For example:
“When is your birthday?”
Wann ist Ihr Geburtstag?, Wann ist Ihr Geburtstag?
Now, how do you answer this question?
Am 4. März.
“It's on March 4th.”
Listen to it again:
Am 4. März., Am 4. März.
This German sentence literally translates as "On the 4th March." But it means “It's on March 4th.”.
