✕Common Mistakes
Außerdem, Kunst und Sport.
Avoid a comma after ‘außerdem’ when it directly introduces a list; the comma is unnecessary and sounds unnatural.
Außerdem Kunst und Sporten.
‘Sporten’ is a verb; the phrase needs the noun ‘Sport’ to match the other nouns in the list.
Außerdem Kunst und Sportes.
‘Sportes’ is not a German word; the correct noun form is ‘Sport’.
↔Alternatives

Also art and sport.
Darüber hinaus Kunst und Sport.
Beyond that, art and sport.
Cultural Tip
In German, ‘außerdem’ can start a sentence or a stand‑alone fragment, especially in lists. Do not place a comma directly after ‘außerdem’ when it introduces a simple enumeration – the comma would be a common mistake. Also, the nouns are often used without articles in bullet points, which is perfectly natural in German.
