Cultural Tip

In German-speaking countries, weather is a very popular topic for starting a conversation. Being specific about the type of day, such as 'klar' (clear) versus just 'sonnig' (sunny), shows a more advanced command of the language and reflects the local appreciation for fresh, crisp air.
