Im Herbst zeigt das Wetter seine verschiedenen Seiten: Mal ist es warm, dann regnet, hagelt oder stürmt es wieder. Über das Wetter sprechen kann man aber immer, denn es ist das ideale Small-Talk-Thema. In diesem Spezial lernen Sie deshalb alle wichtigen Wetter-Wörter!

Das Spezialthema diesen Monat ist die interkulturelle Kommunikation. Jede Kultur ist etwas anders. Deshalb kommt es manchmal zu Missverständnissen, wenn sich verschiedene Kulturen begegnen. Sicher waren Sie auch schon einmal überrascht, weil man in Deutschland etwas ganz anders macht, als Sie es aus Ihrer Kultur kennen.

In diesem Monat geht es über die Mediensprache: In den deutschsprachigen Nachrichten erfährt man täglich Aktuelles über Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz. Als Deutschlerner ist es aber oft schwierig, alles zu verstehen. Journalisten verwenden in der Nachrichtensprache nämlich oft spezielle Formulierungen und Satzkonstruktionen. Die typischen Phänomene werden hier vorgestellt. Außerdem gibt es diesem Monat einen Besuch in Zürich.

Diesen Monat ist das Spezialthema die deutsche Alltagssprache. In der gesprochenen Sprache benutzen Deutsche oft andere Wörter oder Satzkonstruktionen als in der Schriftsprache. Als Deutschlerner ist es wichtig, die Unterschiede zu kennen. So verstehen Sie die Deutschen besser. Außerdem können Sie, wenn Sie die Besonderheiten der Alltagssprache kennen, eine zu informelle Sprache in offiziellen Situationen vermeiden.
