thank you for this great opportunity, i have read althrough from first page to the last, i will be pointing out few things i don't understand

why is the "bitte schön" you're welcome instead of the normal German willkommen?

willkommen means welcome, bitte schön is you're welcome. the difference there is you're, from my how I bliv, you are seeing things from English perspective. remember every language is unique

danke,i understand better now, also can i just use "sie"are willkommen, instead of the bitten schön ?

no2...."wie geht es ihnen" why did the ihr changed to "ihnen"?

remember we have singular verb and plural verb, ich komme aus Deutschland which is I come from Germany and sie kommen aus Deutschland which is they come from Germany, here sie is also used as she, but since kommen which is a plural verb makes us know it can't be she(since she is a singular) so also is ihr and ihnen, ihr means I and using I for more than one person, is a blunder, so the need for a plural ihnen

you will be understood, doesn't mean you are correct. and when you interpret stuff directly like that, you will have issues when you get to the question and negatives of Deutsch

In Every language,one word/sentence can mean the same thing and it occur mostly in german language...for example,if ask how are you in english,you can answer i'm fine or i'm good...it passes the same information you want across.

Exactly,if you want to learn german,you just have to forget English Language. to avoid confusion.

In german language,they have german cases which are influence by the verb,we also have the singular and plural form of it. You will understand it better we study about the cases.just for example in English;They go,she goes etc Ihnen is in dative case.

thank you, I'm learning gradually.

Guten Morgen.

We're going to treat the german article today-we have done this already.

The German Article- the definite and indefinite articles.
We will move on to Das Verb(the verb)

Pardon my absent for some days,i had to fixed some things.

In German Language, there's infinite form of a verb and conjugate form of verb. The Noun/pronoun determines how a verb will be conjugated in a sentence.

The verb in German than in English Language, we are going to take it step by step to avoid confusion.

Pls take note:the article we treated was just for Nominative case.
