Now that you're building your German language skills, it's time to master some of the most practical and essential parts of everyday communication: numbers, days of the week, months, and how to say dates.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to:
Count from 1 2 3 4 (and beyond!) in German
Name the days of the week (Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch...)
Say the months of the year (Januar, Februar, März...)
Understand and form dates like der 5. April or am zwanzigsten Juli
Ask and answer questions like "Wann hast du Geburtstag?" (When is your birthday?)
These basics are key to telling time, making plans, remembering important events, and understanding schedules — whether you're traveling, studying, or chatting with a German-speaking friend.
We’ll guide you step by step with clear examples, correct pronunciation, and real-life phrases. You’ll also get to practice how German numbers work in a different order (yes, 21 is said as "einundzwanzig" — literally "one-and-twenty"!).
Let’s dive in and start counting your way to fluency — eins, zwei, drei… los geht’s!
