German for Work - Welcome!

In this course, we’ll work together to practice typical situations you might encounter while working at a company in Germany: introducing yourself, your work, and your workplace; communicating with customers in writing and verbally; participating in meetings; discussing issues and expressing your point of view; and writing meeting minutes. We’ll also discuss topics such as job applications, job interviews, and sick leave. We’ll look at many practical examples and build up useful vocabulary.

You work for a German company and would like to improve your skills in order to communicate in German with your colleagues and customers. This course combines different grammar topics with business vocabulary. You will learn how to write business emails, give job descriptions, conduct negotiations, understand payslips and employment contracts, understand your colleagues' conversations, prepare an oral presentation, or talk about topics related to your job.
