- elements of formal versus informal speech and writing (e.g., Konjunktiv I in writing)
- etiquette, such as addressing people they have not met as Herr or Frau + surname/title (e.g., Herr Müller/Direktor) and using the formal address (Sie)
- topic-specific jargon, abbreviations, and texting short forms (e.g., gn8 = gute Nacht; MfG = mit freundlichen Grüßen; LG = Liebe Grüße)
