Abstract
The majority of those who decide to study German at the Department of German Studies in Belgrade learned German at school, but there is also a percentage of students that should not be underestimated, who, especially in preschool age, acquired their language skills independently and without guidance – the so-called “Fernsehkinder” (television children). The aim of the study presented in this article was to single out these students and analyze their language competencies and skills, their specific deficits – e.g. in written expression –, but also their advantage in oral expression over other students. Additionally, the extent to which students identify with the term “Fernsehkind” (television child) is examined. The classification of this type of language acquisition according to established categories and the issues that arise therefrom have been a further focus of our research.
