Neulich hat mir eine meiner Studentinnen erzählt, dass sie eine Online‑Präsentation für einen Kunden halten muss.
Sie sollte die Plattform erklären, durch verschiedene Funktionen navigieren und live zeigen, wo man klicken muss.

Und dann kam der Satz, den ich so oft hĂśre:
„Ich weiß genau, was ich machen muss… aber mir fehlen die Wörter dafür.“

Also habe ich ihr eine komplette Liste mit Laptop‑Vokabular vorbereitet — alles, was man braucht, um souverän durch eine Präsentation, ein Meeting oder einen Bildschirm‑Share zu führen.

Und jetzt teile ich sie auch mit dir.
Wenn du im Job manchmal nicht weißt, wie etwas auf Deutsch heißt:
👉 Kommentiere LAPTOP und ich schicke dir den Link zu meinem Blogpost direkt per DM.
Dort findest du die vollständige Liste.

🇬🇧 English Version

Recently, one of my students told me she had to give an online presentation for a client.
She needed to walk them through the platform, explain different features, and show where to click.

And then she said the sentence I hear all the time:
“I know exactly what to do… but I don’t have the vocabulary for it.”

So I prepared a full list of laptop vocabulary for her — everything you need to guide someone confidently through a presentation, meeting, or screen share.

And now I’m sharing it with you too.
If you sometimes don’t know how to say things on your laptop in German:
👉 Comment LAPTOP and I’ll send you the link to my blog post directly via DM.

Neulich im Meeting: Jemand präsentiert eine Idee, alle nicken… und du denkst dir nur: „Hm, ganz überzeugt bin ich nicht.“

Aber wie sagst du das, ohne unhÜflich zu wirken?
Genau dafür habe ich heute ein paar meiner liebsten deutschen Formulierungen gesammelt — höflich, klar und absolut business‑tauglich.

Denn Widerspruch muss nicht laut sein. Er kann respektvoll, professionell und sogar verbindend wirken, wenn wir die richtigen Worte wählen.
Welche dieser Formulierungen wirst du in deinem nächsten Meeting ausprobieren?

Schreib’s in die Kommentare!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The other day in a meeting: someone presented an idea, everyone nodded… and you thought, “Hmm, I’m not fully convinced.”
But how do you say that without sounding rude?

That’s exactly why I put together some of my favorite German phrases for disagreeing politely — respectful, clear, and perfect for the workplace.

Because disagreement doesn’t have to be loud. It can be professional, constructive, and even strengthen collaboration when phrased well.
Which of these phrases will you use in your next meeting?

Ever opened a German spreadsheet and thought:
“Why does VLOOKUP suddenly become SVERWEIS… and why does nothing look familiar anymore?”

If you work with German-speaking teams, Excel quickly becomes a bilingual challenge — new terms, new functions, new mistakes to avoid.
I put together a practical guide with the most useful German Excel vocabulary and phrases, complete with English translations and real examples you can use immediately.
Perfect for international professionals, freelancers, and anyone navigating DACH workflows.

In Business German, Nomen-Verb-Verbindungen with bringen are very common.

They often sound more formal and precise than simple verbs — which is why you hear them so often in meetings and emails.

Here are some essential bringen-combinations you should recognize and use at work:

▪️ zum Abschluss bringen
→ abschließen | to finalize
Wir mĂźssen das Projekt bis Ende des Monats zum Abschluss bringen.

▪️ zum Ausdruck bringen
→ ausdrücken | to express
Er brachte seine Bedenken klar zum Ausdruck.

▪️ unter Kontrolle bringen
→ kontrollieren | to get under control
Die Kosten mĂźssen schnell unter Kontrolle gebracht werden.

▪️ in Schwierigkeiten bringen
→ verursachen | to cause problems
Diese Entscheidung kĂśnnte das Team in Schwierigkeiten bringen.

▪️ in Gefahr bringen
→ gefährden | to endanger
Zeitdruck darf die Qualität nicht in Gefahr bringen.

▪️ zur Sprache bringen
→ ansprechen | to bring up / address
Dieses Thema sollte im nächsten Meeting zur Sprache gebracht werden.

▪️ in Verlegenheit bringen
→ verlegen | to embarrass
Die Frage brachte ihn kurz in Verlegenheit.

💡 Why this matters:
Using these structures helps you sound more natural and professional in German — without using complicated grammar.

As the year comes to an end, I want to pause and say thank you.

It has been a great pleasure to work with so many inspiring professionals this year. Together, we celebrated new jobs, promotions, and successful client deals — but also the quieter wins: overcoming the fear of speaking German, joining small talk with colleagues, or feeling confident enough to contribute in meetings.

This year also brought new challenges. With rapid changes in the job market and AI transforming entire roles, many career paths suddenly felt less predictable. And yet, you kept going — learning, adapting, and investing in yourselves.

Whether you are just starting your German journey or already working at an advanced level, I am truly grateful for the trust you placed in me. I look forward to continuing to support you and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for all your professional — and personal — plans in the year ahead.

Danke für Euer Vertrauen - ich wünsche Euch erholsame Feiertage und einen wunderbaren Start ins neue Jahr🎄✨

Eure Julia

Yesterday, a client from South Korea wrote to me that she had just signed her very first contract in Germany. Stories like this are the best part of my work – seeing how people not only land jobs in Germany, Switzerland, or Austria, but also grow in confidence to contribute actively in team or client meetings in German.

I feel deeply thankful to be working with such amazing professionals from all over the world – each with a unique story, each on a different career path. The job market in the DACH region is not easy, but what makes the difference is more than strong German skills and a polished CV: it’s confidence, motivation, and the courage to show your value.

Every career has its challenges, but none of us should have to walk it alone. With every client I support, I grow as well – and that is what makes my job so meaningful.

Did you know that German has two verbs, “nutzen” and “benutzen,” that both translate to “to use” in English? 🤔 Although they can sometimes be used interchangeably, each applies to different contexts in German. Knowing the distinction helps add clarity and precision to your German. Here’s the difference:

🔹 Nutzen is used for abstract concepts, like strategies, opportunities, or resources:
“Der Manager nutzt viele Methoden, um sein Team zu motivieren.”
➔ “The manager uses many methods to motivate his team.”

🔸 Benutzen applies to physical objects or concrete items:
“Die Techniker benutzen viele Werkzeuge, um den Laptop zu reparieren.”
➔ “The technicians use many tools to repair the laptop.”
