die Fremdsprache, -n
foreign language
Eine Sprache, die man nicht von Geburt an spricht, sondern später lernt.
The German word "Fremdsprache" is a noun that means "foreign language." It is composed of two parts: "Fremd," which means "foreign" or "strange," and "Sprache," which means "language." "Fremdsprache" refers specifically to any language that is not the native language of a person or a community.
Similar words in German include "Auslandssprache" (foreign language) and "Zweitsprache" (second language). The difference is that "Auslandssprache" implies speaking a language of a foreign country, while "Zweitsprache" focuses on the context of a second language learned, which might not necessarily be from a foreign culture, especially if it's a widely spoken second language domestically.
