Using body language in business



After you've watched the video do the quiz using the link body languge quiz (in Supplementary materials)and see how good you are at interpreting body language.
By the way, on YouTube you can find lots of other videos about the use of body languge in business and not only, if you are interested in the subject. It's also excellent practice in listening!

Carnival in Cologne

BubbleShare: Share photos - Play some Online Games.

Carnival is a very big event in Cologne and lots of people from different German town and even from foreign countries come to see it. It takes place at the end of February just when we have Pancake week (масленица). The culmination of the holiday is Rosenmontag when the zugs (zug-поезд) go in several districts of the city. In the photos you can see the main zug moving through the center of Cologne. The view is really picturesque! Unfortunately, our students, who come to Fachhochshule (our partner university) to do a semester course, don't have the opportunity to see the carnival because it's just the time of winter vacation in Fachhochshule.
