Hello!

I am going on a German exchange trip in March and need some help. I need to write an email to the person I am going to be staying with while I am in Germany. I have only been learning German for a few months and have never written a letter in german before.
In my letter I would like to write the following things.

-Introduce myself
-Talk about where I live
-details of my family (I live with mum and dad, have a sister but she does not live at home)
Does anyone know how to say these things and put them into a letter?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance your help is really appreciated.

Jack

I can tell you one easy way to write that leter:you can write the text in english just like you want and translate in german you can do this from Google page in link :language tools there you can translate your text from english to german

Sounds like a good idea... thank you :)

If you still want help from a human, I would be glad to help. ;-) Sometimes these online translators don't work right. So just contact me if you still need help.

I would like to thank you. Have a wonderful vacation and safe journey.

Don't use Google translate or any other machine translation. There are too many mistakes and it wouldn't make a good impression. I'm a native German speaker, so if you want my help, let me know.
