	ich bin geboren

Ich bin hier geboren.
听I was born here.

Das ist mir gelungen.
听I have managed that.

When you want to talk about something you've done or something that has happened, ie events in the past, in some cases you need to use sein - 'to be', plus the past participle, ie geboren to form the Perfekt tense.

This is true for a specific number of common verbs which express either a change of place or a change of state, for example kommen, gehen, fahren, fliegen... Other verbs use haben - 'to have' - to form the Perfekt tense.
