SEHR HILFREICHE Ausdrücke im Berufsalltag (inklusive PDF-Datei) I Deutsch lernen b2, c1.

Hello everyone! Today we're going to look again at the German conversational language. A very, very important topic. Stay with us! We have summarized the content of this video for you again and prepared it as a free PDF file. You are very welcome to download it via the links in my video description. All you need is your e-mail address, otherwise it is free. Have fun! You can use the first expression very often at work, namely, something is happening. Here is even a headline that I found. And this expression means that there are certain progress or positive changes. For example, you can say, At the negotiations with the new partner, something is finally happening. What does that mean? That means that there are finally positive changes or progress. We haven't been able to find a compromise for a long time, but now we're finally making progress. Something is happening. Or let's say you used to be a little dissatisfied with how your team worked together. Then you can say, Something is finally happening with our team. We are finally working together much more effectively. That means we can work together much better now. Maybe we have optimized our strategies or changed something. So something is happening. Something is developing for the positive. Next, we take another very widespread expression, namely, to behave inappropriately. And that means to behave inappropriately. Really very inappropriate. For example, you were just in a customer interview with a colleague and then you say, So Lukas just totally behaved inappropriately in the customer interview. What does that mean? That means that he, for example, was totally impolite or said something very inappropriate or made an inappropriate joke, whatever. But his behavior was inappropriate. He totally behaved inappropriately. Or another example, just out of private life. Let's say you were at a party and then you were totally absent-minded and somehow not really there mentally. And then your girlfriend says to you, So if you always behave so inappropriately, then no one will invite you anymore. That means, if you behave the same next time, so so inappropriate, so to speak, not present at all, then no one will simply invite you anymore. Now we take a widely used colloquial verb, namely, to burst. Something is burst, one often says. And that means that something, for example a plan or a contract or whatever, is burst. So something has failed. So it's usually something that should have happened. It didn't happen at all. For example, you say at work, The contract with this customer burst in the last minute. That means it didn't even come to signing the contract because of this and that. So we failed there. Or you can also use this in your everyday life and say, Because of the bad weather, our travel plans burst. That means we planned a vacation, for example in the mountains, but then the weather was so bad that the vacation couldn't take place at all. So it burst. Like an air balloon. You can picture that. You're watching this video right now and you probably know this feeling. You arrive as a freshly baked immigrant in Germany and suddenly only understand half of it. Even though you learned the German language at home. Why? Why do people say cry instead of crying? Or I'm beaten instead of I'm sick. That's all colloquial language. Or, as we say very often today, everyday German. But why don't you understand it? The problem is, in the classical German courses, German is mostly taught. Everyday German, this colloquial language, exactly the language you speak in everyday life, is blinded or neglected. And just so that you can understand your German acquaintances, friends, colleagues, the baker on the way to work or the saleswoman in your nearby shop better, and you can finally feel at home in Germany, my team and I have developed a crash course on everyday German And don't worry, this is not a vocabulary list that you can simply ask for at Gentipedi. No, we have extra for you the most important and most useful expressions, idioms, sentences, phrases from the colloquial language. We have analyzed an incredible number of sources for this. Incredibly many native speakers in our environment, by the way. With these expressions you can communicate incredibly authentically and safely in the most important everyday situations. Do you learn like in my videos on YouTube? No, you learn much more effectively. Because of course we also have a lot of exercises prepared for you. Because exercise makes the master. In addition, you will also receive a collection of authentic examples. You will also receive an extensive course book from us, which will stay with you after the end of the course. And much, much more. How do you learn in this course? This is an online self-learning course. That is, after the payment, you get access to a modern learning platform on which you can learn with my learning material at any time. That means you are completely flexible in terms of time and place. And you know, I would have liked a course like this so much in my early days in Germany. It would definitely have made my life easier. This course is a must for you if you are about to emigrate to Germany and don't want to feel totally overwhelmed right away. Or if you have only been living in Germany for a short time. Or maybe you have been living in Germany for a long time, but still have difficulties with the colloquial language and want to feel at home in Germany. I really wish that this course will reach as many migrants as possible and make their lives easier. So you can now sign up for the course via the link in the video description and start learning right away. Don't miss this chance to feel at home in Germany. I'm looking forward to it. Now a very nice colloquial conversation is waiting for you. Jumping into the cold water. And that's what you always say when you think that you start with something new without preparation or experience or try something new. For example, you have just started a new job and then you say on the first day, right in the evening So I jumped into the cold water today and held a presentation right away. That means, without getting to know the company, with the colleagues and so on, you did something new today, so you held a presentation. Or, as they often say, in order to grow, you have to be able to jump into the cold water. That means, if you want to grow, you have to be ready to constantly try something new, to dare and so on. Another very useful expression that I like to use is clear-cut speech. That means being open and honest, but also direct. That means, even if something is perhaps uncomfortable or too direct for your partner, you address it. For example, when giving feedback, it is sometimes important to speak clearly. That means, it is really important sometimes to honestly say what went wrong, what was not optimal. Or you notice that a colleague is not treating you so well or behaves in a strange or impolite way towards you and then you say, I finally want to speak clearly now. It can't go on like this. So that means, I finally want to be open and honest and speak to you directly in front of four people. Here is another beautiful clear-cut speech, which is to get a tooth. And that means to hurry up or work more effectively and faster. For example, if we want to finish this report by tomorrow, then we definitely have to get a tooth. So we have to work a little faster now. Or you look at certain documents at work and say, so the production is clearly running too slowly. Here the team definitely has to get a tooth. So definitely optimize the processes and work faster. The next expression I personally hear all the time, and that is to tell a few bars. Tell a few bars, that means telling someone your opinion directly or regulating this person a bit, because you were dissatisfied with their behavior or something. For example, this morning the boss really told me a few bars, because I came to this customer interview too late. That means he was very dissatisfied and then he also talked to me in plain text. Yes, so really a bit regulated. Or, for example, you say, after the meeting I told Thomas a few bars, so that he prepares himself better next time. That means I was very dissatisfied with the way he prepared himself and that's why I had to speak to him honestly after the meeting. Now we take a very useful verb, and that is to adjust. To adjust to something means to prepare for something or to adapt to something. For example, the management in your company has changed, but then you say relatively quickly, so the team has quickly adjusted to the changes. So the team has quickly adapted. Or let's say a colleague says to you, you should adjust to longer working hours, because we are currently getting a lot more work. That means you should prepare yourself so that the next time will be a bit more intense. And last but not least, we take the phrase to keep a cool head. What does that mean? That means to stay calm, not to get too nervous, even if it gets very stressful. For example, yes, even if the customer is unfriendly, you should keep a cool head. That's professionalism. That means you should stay calm. You shouldn't shoot against it, so to speak. Or another example, even in times of crisis, it is important to keep a cool head. That means it is important to stay calm and to accept that. So, everyone together, we are already at the end. But if you really want to master the German conversational language, if you really want to master the most important expressions, then you are in my course Alltagsdeutsch exactly right. You can find all the information via the link in the video description. Don't miss this chance. Now, after the summer, or at the end of the summer, we are very motivated. And you can really invest this energy now. Thank you very much for watching and I wish you, as always, a lot of success with your further German learning. See you again very soon. Bye.
