Key Vocabulary
Cultural Notes
Addressing the Teacher
In many German school settings, learners address the teacher with "Frau" or "Herr" plus the last name (e.g., "Frau Müller"). In some adult language courses, "du" is also common, but using the title is always polite and safe.
Raising Your Hand
In German classrooms, it’s normal to raise your hand before speaking, especially when asking a question. Teachers often say "Wer hat eine Frage?" and then call on students.
Being on Time
Punctuality is taken seriously in Germany. If you arrive late, a short "Entschuldigung" is usually enough, and then you sit down quickly so the lesson can continue.
Asking to Repeat
When you don’t catch something, common classroom phrases are "Wie bitte?", "Noch einmal, bitte!" and "Langsamer, bitte." They sound natural and are widely used beyond the classroom too.
