Kids can learn basic German manners about various situations with colorful slides and interesting clip-arts. Some of manners are:>> It is rude to chew gum or keep one’s hands in one’s pockets whilst talking with someone.>> It is impolite to rest your feet on furniture.>> Tight punctuality (Pünktlichkeit) is expected in most professional and social situations.>> Knock before entering a room if someone has shut the door. Germans are often happy to receive people even if their doors are shut, but one should enter respecting their privacy.>> It is common for Germans to share tables with strangers in public places, asking “Ist dieser Platz noch frei?” (Is this seat free?).
