The transparent citizen has long been a reality. The most popular apps may be practical, but they are absolutely not secure when it comes to users’ personal data. Photo (detail): © Adobe

Data protection
 Digital self-defence

Popular apps often use data in ways their users would not appreciate, but there are alternatives. Digital expert Markus Beckedahl has some tips.

Mum has to work and should work, but the children also have to be looked after. It is far too often the case that the division of labour in families falls back into traditional patterns and the bulk of the work is left to the woman. Photo (detail): © picture alliance/Jochen Eckel

#WordOfTheWeek

"Schnapsidee" & Co., "special German" words have their charm, but are often difficult to explain!
At the Goethe-Institut Irland we have made a selection of these words accessible to non-native speakers.
