1 Was machen Sie beruflich?

Über den Beruf zu sprechen, ist ein typisches Gesprächsthema in Deutschland, egal ob Sie bezahlt oder freiwillig, selbstständig oder angestellt arbeiten. Die folgenden Übungen sind eine gute Vorbereitung darauf. Zuerst hören Sie einige Menschen, die ihre Tätigkeiten (Arbeit und freiwillige Tätigkeit) beschreiben. Sie arbeiten auch mit grammatikalischen Aspekten der Sprache, wie zum Beispiel Dativ und Zeiten. Und Sie sprechen selbst auch über Ihre Arbeit, Ihren Beruf oder Ihre Tätigkeit bei Vereinen oder Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen.

Übung 1

Timing: 10 minuten

Comment

You may have been surprised by the amount of English used in some of the job descriptions. As you will see later in this course, English is used quite extensively in the new job and industry sectors.
