Hello.

I'm not sure how I should describe my height.
Is it OK to say:

1. I'm six one feet tall
2. I'm six one feet
3. I'm six and one feet tall
4. I'm six and one feet

Honestly, I have no idea whether it's a natural way to say it.
Thanks in advance.
 
'I'm six foot one' means 'My height is six feet one inch'.

:up: BT, note that singular. It looks wrong, but saying 'six feet one' will mark you out as a foreigner! (Not that that's a bad thing; it might just be something you want to avoid!)

These don't work because you're including two measures (feet and inches) and saying they're both feet.
 
I am not a teacher.

Note also that if you want to express it in numerals, as you have in the thread title, it would be 6'1". (' for feet and " for inches).

Unless, of course, you mean six point one feet, which would be six feet and one point two inches.

And, of course, no native would ever describe his height using feet with decimal points.
