Hi Emily,
well done.
However, be careful about the capitalization.
“Guten Tag, ich heiße Emily.”
All the best for your learning.

Hallo Laura, es ist schön ein neues Gesicht hier zu sehen
(Hello Laura, it’s nice to see a new face around here)
It’s a bit confusing to have kennen zu lernen and kennenzulernen (with and without spaces), which version should one use now?
at 8:21 pm
Hi Salivia,
Thank you for your comment.
I known it’s confusing.
“Kennenlernen” is written without spaces. When you create the infinitive with “zu”, you just insert “zu” and get “kennenzulernen”. Since there is no real consensus in German orthography, due to language reforms, you will encounter both ways of writing.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Lars,
maybe you should have used one form when putting formal and informal speech side by side. As it is now in the video it looks you use kennen zu lernen for informal and kennenzulernen for formal speech even though it doesn’t matter how you write it.
at 3:17 pm
Hi Salivia,
Well, it is definitely better to decide for one version. I prefer “kennenzulernen” because: 1. “kennen” and “lernen” have different meanings when written separately; and 2. pronounciation reasons.
We are currently reviewing all the lessons. Hopefully, it will be more clear then.
Thanks for your comment.
