'Hallo' is an informal greeting meaning 'hello' or 'hi' and 'Guten Tag' is a more formal version of 'hello'.
'Wo ist?' asks 'where is?' in simple location questions.
[a] can be either short (followed by 2 consonants) or long (followed by a single consonant, double vowel or 'h').
German has three words for 'the': der (masculine), die (feminine) and das (neuter).
Every noun in German has a grammatical gender, which is not the same as biological gender.

Grammatical gender is the same as biological gender. If a word is feminine we think of it as a girl if it is masculine we think of it as a boy.

Grammatical gender is not the same as biological gender.
