Phrases for ‘I would like to become…’ – Learning German

My name is John Doe, and I’m helping you learn some useful German phrases. Today, we’re focusing on expressing your aspirations – what you’d like to become. This is a really common thing to want to say, and it’s important to have the right words.

Let’s start with the basic structure. The most common way to say “I would like to become…” is using “Ich möchte werden…”

• Ich möchte werden Arzt. (I would like to become a doctor.)
• Ich möchte werden Lehrerin. (I would like to become a teacher.)
• Ich möchte werden Ingenieur. (I would like to become an engineer.)

You can use this basic structure with almost any profession or goal.

Now, let’s look at some more natural ways to say this in conversation.

Often, you’ll hear people say: “Ich würde gerne…” This is a softer, more polite way of saying “I would like to”. It’s very versatile.

• Ich würde gerne Programmierer werden. (I would like to become a programmer.)
• Ich würde gerne Fotografin werden. (I would like to become a photographer.)
• Ich würde gerne Übersetzer werden. (I would like to become a translator.)

In a work setting, you might use something like this:

• “Ich möchte mich zum Projektmanager weiterbilden.” (I would like to train myself to become a project manager.) – This translates to “I would like to further educate myself to become a project manager.”
• “Ich möchte meinen Abschluss im Bereich Marketing machen.” (I would like to complete my degree in marketing.)

Another useful phrase is: “Mein Ziel ist es,…” (My goal is to…) followed by your aspiration.

• Mein Ziel ist es, ein Komponist zu werden. (My goal is to become a composer.)

You can also express this with a little more enthusiasm: “Ich träume davon,…” (I dream of…)

• Ich träume davon, ein berühmter Schauspieler zu werden. (I dream of becoming a famous actor.)

Remember to use the correct verb endings for “werden” depending on the person you are talking to. The above examples use “ich” (I), but you’ll adjust accordingly.

To help you practice, here are a few questions to think about:

• What do you want to become?
• Write down a few sentences in German using the phrases we’ve learned.

I hope this helps you begin expressing your ambitions in German!
