Look at this example again, we delete the "ein / eine => an/ a" becuse it's better, but you can say "Ich bin nicht ein Lehrer => I'm not a teacher", but I don't think a '''native speaker''' says "Ich bin nicht '''ein''' ...". As you wish.

In the previous lesson‌ (Introducing), learned how we can say " I am --- ". In this lesson, we learn how we can say "I am not ---". Follow the lesson, please.

We need an alternative word instead "not" for doing it. So we use "nicht" instead "not" if it's not for nouns.

When it comes to nouns, we use "kein" (for masculine and neuter) or "keine" (for feminine).

Example :

- Ich bin ein Lehrer.

I'm a teacher.

- Ich bin kein Lehrer.

I'm not teacher.

Look at this example again, we delete the "ein / eine => an/ a" becuse it's better, but you can say "Ich bin nicht ein Lehrer => I'm not a teacher", but I don't think a native speaker says "Ich bin kein ...". As you wish.

Note sometimes when we talk about a female, we should to add a "in" ithe end of sentence. Example : Ich bin eine Kellnerin, Ich bin eine busfahrerin

okay, we try that again with:

  1. Ich bin eine Lehrerin ( I'm a teacher) => Ich bin kein Lehrerin. ( I'm not teacher)
  2. Ich bin ein Programmierer (I'm a programmer) => Ich bin kein Programmierer. (I'm not a programmer)

Good luck.
