Typical German speaker mistakes in English (38)

I often hear these mistakes made by German speakers who are learning English.

They say:  The workshop today has the topic Mentoring.

This is totally understandable to native speakers but it doesn’t sound very natural.

Correction:  The topic of today’s workshop is Mentoring.

Alternatively:  Today we are going to talk about / discuss . . .

Today’s workshop deals with / looks at / focuses on  . . . .

 

Have fun learning English!
