Popular German Words/Sayings

Wie bist du? : How are you?
Hallo=Hello.
Remeber this, nouns in German are ALWAYS CAPITALIZED.
Ich spiele Fussball gern.=I like to play soccer.
Ich spiele lieber Tennis.=I prefer to play tennis.
Ich spiele Amerikanisches Fussball am liebsten.=I like to play American Football the best.
Here are some superlatives:
groß                    größer                am größesten
gern                    lieber                  am liebsten
Remember, if you don't know what the superlative form is just add am- and -sten.
Remmeber, if there is a vowel at the beginning of the word it usually gets an umlaut when in superlative form.
For example:
groß                    größer                am größesten
Did you know?
ß=ss ß is called an "s set" in English.
