Zrádná slova v hospodářské němčině - 100 nejčastějších chyb a jak je napravit – Höppnerová Věra (2019)

This Czech-language learning aid focuses on 100 of the most common mistakes in German for business and explains how to correct them. Learning German for business involves more than mastering professional vocabulary and grammar: it is also important to know which word to use in a particular context and which words to combine with it. The learner’s native language can often be misleading, since one word in the native language may correspond to several German words, as in obchod—Handel or Geschäft and poptávka—Anfrage or Nachfrage. Words that are easy to understand because they resemble words in the native language can also be false friends, as in rekvalifikace—Umschulung, rekreace—Erholung and konkurz na místo—Ausschreibung einer Stelle. The material is based on recurring mistakes in students’ written and spoken German for business, most of which result from interference from the native language. Without an explanation of the meanings of commonly confused words followed by practice, learners may not recognise their mistakes or use the words correctly in professional and business situations. The meanings are explained and illustrated with suitable examples from business German, supported by informative pictures that aid memorisation. A final answer key makes self-checking easier. The book is intended for students, professionals and managers in the business and public sectors who want to express themselves correctly in German for business, as well as for teachers and course instructors.
