Explanation
Keep the German visible while you listen to the explanation.
Explanation 1
Geschwister
Hast du Geschwister? asks if you have siblings in general. Geschwister already means 'brothers and sisters together' and is always plural; there is no 'a Geschwister'.
Explanation 2
wie
Wer ist das? asks 'who is this person?'. Do not confuse wer, who, with wo, where, nor with wie, how: they are three similar little words with very different meanings.
Explanation 3
Dein Beispiel
Now try to introduce family members and talk about relatives, replacing information with something true about you.
