Market roundup: November 2011
Online
DW used the EXPOLINGUA in Berlin to present its new social networking platform for German learners. CommunityD – der Campus officially launched on October 28 and will provide those who want to learn German a great way to improve their skills – with interactive classrooms, chat rooms and multimedia material. The platform also allows students to become the teachers, by letting them upload their own audio and video content, vocabulary lists and other documents.
Europe
EUROBOX made a successful debut in Romania at the beginning of October, after premiering nationwide on the public broadcaster TVR Info. EUROBOX is a half-hour program made up of reports and features with unrestricted rights from DW. It covers current European and German issues, commentaries and a press review. It is adapted by DW’s partners in Romania and presented by a Romanian host. It will be broadcast on TVR Info on Saturdays with a second run on Sundays.

The new stars of language-learning
Jean-Philippe from Cameroon, Diandra from Romania and Minjie from China all have something in common: They are learning German with Deutsche Welle. They are also all part of a new series on our language-learning portal called CommunityD – das Porträt.
Each month, we will be presenting a new pair of language learners from around the world. In total, more than 120 individuals will be highlighted and explain (in German), why they are learning German, what "typical German" means or what their favorite German word is.
DW's German learning community is growing daily. "Learn German with Deutsche Welle" already has more than 37,000 fans on Facebook.
