Sprachinstitut TREFFPUNKT-ONLINE
Who wants to stay informed about a particular topic or a specific source of information, subscribes to a particular newsletter on the web. Nearly half of all website owners already use this efficient and direct way of communication with customers and interested people. So, on this page we provide only a few interesting newsletters specially for learners of German.

Our latest news always on Facebook.com/sprachinstitut.treffpunkt.online

News is published weekly or monthly, sometimes rather sporadically. Most have links incorporated into the text. Nearly all the large newspapers, TV and radio companies use this direct information channel. (-> addresses below "journalism" and "television and radio").
Here we would like to present 5 newsletters from a huge number of newsletters.
Note: In order to benefit from this kind of information as much as possible, you should have basic German language skills.
