Red links lead directly into the World-Wide Web. There you will find the pages of organizations or private individuals or just pages that explain a word or concept.

The learner's possibilities for communication Learners can communicate with German native speakers, with each other or the authors in a learner forum and in a chat room . In the learner forum learners can communicate asyncronally with each other. In accordance with the aim of the forum, i.e. to be safe platform for informal exchange well as for questions concerning grammar and learning German, there is a multitude of contacts, questions and longer or shorter exchange sequences, which in many cases lead to private e-mail contacts outside the forum. In a moderated chat room students at certain fixed times can communicate with other students or native speakers or each other about certain topics synchronously i.e. with immediate reaction from partners. These replies can be read by many users.
