Days of the Week in German & Talking About Your Schedule

Deutsch lernen — Die Wochentage

Once you can greet someone and share your age, the next natural step is talking about when things happen. The days of the week appear constantly in German — making plans, talking about work or school, and describing your weekly routine all start here.
