Guten tag alle!! This is the 3rd lesson. So what are you called? Just like "How are you?", asking someone "What are you called?" etc. is really important.

-Guten Tag!!
-Guten Tag!!
-Wie heißt du?
-Ich heiße Matthias. Und du?
-Ich heiße Paul

-Guten Tag!!
-Guten Tag!!
-Wie heißen Sie?
-Ich heiße Matthias. Und Sie?
-Ich heiße Paul

Wie heißt du? - What are you called? (informal/casual)
Wie heißen Sie? - What are you called? (formal/polite)

Wie ist dein Name? - What is your name? (informal/casual)
Wie ist Ihr Name? - What is your name? (formal/polite)

Wer bist du? - Who are you?
Wer sind Sie? - Who are you?

Ich heiße .... - I am called ....
Mein Name ist .... - My name is ....
Ich bin .... - I am ....

"Du" is the more informal/casual "you" used in German.
"Sie" is the formal/polite "you" used in German.
Remember the du/Sie make all the difference.
