Learn this aspect very well, it will help you in conjucating words. ask qustions any where you dont understand.

if you come across any german person, and he/she says to you, Sich vor stellen?

for me,i will start by:

Ich heiße Prince. (meaning I am called Prince or my name is prince)
Ich komme aus Nigeria ( I come from Nigeria)
Ich wohne in Portharcourt (I live in port harcourt)
ich bin ledig or veiheretet (i am single/married)
ich bin zwanzig jahre alt ( i am 20 years old)
ich liebe fussball spielen interessant ( i love football very interesting)
ich bin ein studient von beruf (i am a student by occupation).

i can also ask the person "und Sie" (meaning , and you)

please go through it properly and get back to me where you find difficult.

lets take a look at a frequent question one can ask you. Sich vor stellen? or Stellen sich vor? it simply mean introduce yourself.

Nice explanation @nora

Note: day in german is Tag.

Days of the week

Please note that in pronouncing wednesday, the w is pronounce v. Also in saturday and sunday, the s is pronounced z. Try to pronounce them. If you get any error, tell me.
