    If someone asks you "how are you in German," it’s good to have a variety of responses ready. While "Mir geht es gut" (I’m doing well) is the standard reply, you can mix things up with these responses: "Mir geht’s wunderbar!" – I’m doing wonderful! "So lala." – So-so (if you’re feeling average). "Mir geht’s nicht so gut." – I’m not doing so well. "Ich bin müde." – I’m tired (a common response when feeling exhausted). Being able to express your feelings naturally will make your German conversations sound more authentic.
