Café Goethe Morning edition

Welcome to Café Goethe!

Café Goethe is a live online exchange format for German as a Foreign Language (DaF) teachers from around the world.
If you teach German as a foreign language and are looking for a space to share your experiences and pick up practical tips for your classroom, you’ve come to the right place.

Café Goethe is a long-standing favorite and the original classic for DaF teachers. It stands out from other online exchange formats because here, you and your questions are at the center. Your needs are listened to, and the discussions are tailored to your individual teaching challenges.

At Café Goethe, beginners, experienced teachers, and career changers meet as equals. It’s a lively, reliable meeting place marked by openness, understanding, and mutual support—creating an inspiring atmosphere for conversations and new connections.

The exchange is intentionally relaxed, reminiscent of the teacher’s lounge we all know and appreciate. Thoughtful structure provides guidance while leaving plenty of space for practical, collegial dialogue.

Here are the discussion rooms available for sharing your teaching experiences:

• DaF
• Subject-specific and professional language
• Literature, podcasts, and audiobooks
• AI in teaching
• DLL (German as a second language) and exams
• Literacy, integration, and naturalization

Each Café Goethe session also includes a short input on culture, traditions, or current events, giving you well-researched insights and fresh knowledge for your DaF teaching. Under the motto “participate as much or as little as you like”, you decide how actively you want to join and what you take away. Many participants come once—and then keep coming back. We’re looking forward to welcoming you!

Topic of the Day: Burgers or Bowls: How can we raise awareness among children and teenagers in German as a Second Language (DaF) classes about healthy and sustainable eating?
Traditions & Culture or Current Events: Nutrition trends and Smart Farming
