2026-05-14 13 min
Description & Show Notes
German profession words are something you will hear very early when learning the language — especially when introducing yourself or talking about other people.
In this episode, we go through common German occupation words like teacher, doctor, waiter, police officer, hairdresser, and more. You’ll also learn an important difference between words like Beruf, Arbeit, Arbeitsstelle, and Job, plus how male and female profession forms work in German.
We also practice a few very simple example sentences you can immediately start using yourself.
