For example “Wo ist die U-Bahn” - where is the metro? Or “Entschldigung, wo ist die Toilette” - “Excuse me, where is the toilet?” If you don’t understand the other person you can say “Ich verstehe nicht” - I don’t understand. If you want to ask where something is, you would say “Wo ist. For example: "Ich bin aus Spanien." For a bit more advanced students, you can also say “Ich komme aus Spanien” which means “I’m coming from Spain”. To say where you are from you’d say “Ich bin aus. Or “Gut, und dir?” which means “Good, and you?” To introduce yourself you can say “Ich bin.
The rather common answer however is “Gut”. The important thing to know here is: in Germany it’s not used as a way of greeting. To ask somebody for his well-being you’d say “Wie geht’s?”, literally, ‘how is it going?’, the short form of “Wie geht es?”. In an informal situation you could just use the English word “Sorry”. If you want to ask a stranger something, you can start a conversation with “Entschuldigung”, which is the same as “Excuse me” in English. A more casual way, to greet friends or rather young people, is to use “Hi”. And if you want to get more advanced use for good morning - "Guten Morgen", for afternoon "Guten Tag" or for the evening "Guten Abend". You plan to go to Germany and want to learn a few basics? If you meet somebody, you can just say “Hallo”.
