Question

How do I begin a letter in German?

Community Answer

Start by writing the address and date on the top right. Unlike English, the address all on one line. You can then start the actual letter a line down with Leibe or Leiber (for female and male respectively) to address the person. Skip a line and then write a small introduction.
