Hallo,
in lesson 6.2, it sounds like in the last line that Paul is saying 'das ist meine kleine Neffin', but the conversation in German says 'Nichte'. I know that Neffe is nephew, but I can not find 'Neffin'.
Which one is correct?
Jede Information wäre toll!
Tausend Dank und schönen Tag noch

Hallo Louise,

thanks for your questions. You might have to download the latest version of this audio lesson as we have made some changes to it.
You are right, the word for "nephew" is "der Neffe". The most common word for "niece" is "die Nichte". In some regions you will also hear the expression "Neffin" however this term is rarely used and "Nichte" is a lot more common.
After receiving feedback about it we decided to change it to reflect the most common version of niece.
I hope that makes sense.
Danke und alles Gute
Paul

Danke Paul!
I am actually using/listening to the version that is in the Learning Lounge. So the actual audio says Neffin, but the words under the Conversation in English say Nichte.
But as long as both are correct, it is OK! I was just checking that I was hearing correctly!!
Schoenen Abend noch

Hallo Louise,

the audio in the Learning Lounge has been updated, so next time you listen to it the written transcript and the audio will match.
Viel Spass!
Paul

Danke Paul!
Viel Spaß und schönen Tag noch
