Yes.

[Charlestoner]

No. Ich heiße lukas means my name is Lukas. Ich bin lukas means I am lukas. That's completely different.

What exactly did you write?

Also, if you came to this sentence discussion, I don't think you could have had a "translate into German" exercise -- either "translate this written German sentence into English" or "listen to this German and write it down in German".

If you have a screenshot showing the exercise, your answer, and the error message, that would be extremely helpful: please upload it to a website (e.g. imgur) and tell us the URL.

How many ways are there to say, "Hello, I am Lukas?". The program doesn't like any of the inflections I use, obviously.
