German Manners Guide

Description

Kids can learn basic German manners about various situations with colorful slides and interesting clip-arts. Some of manners are:

>> It is rude to chew gum or keep one’s hands in one’s pockets whilst talking with someone.

>> It is impolite to rest your feet on furniture.

>> Tight punctuality (Pünktlichkeit) is expected in most professional and social situations.

>> Knock before entering a room if someone has shut the door. Germans are often happy to receive people even if their doors are shut, but one should enter respecting their privacy.

>> It is common for Germans to share tables with strangers in public places, asking “Ist dieser Platz noch frei?” (Is this seat free?).
