webinar
A seminar that is held online over the internet and allows the listeners to participate interactively. The word is a combination of 'Web' and 'Seminar'.
Ich habe mich für ein Webinar zum Thema Online-Marketing angemeldet.
I signed up for a webinar on online marketing.
The word 'Webinar' (webinar) is a blend made up of the English words 'Web' (for World Wide Web) and 'Seminar'. So it literally describes a seminar that takes place on the web.
Unser nächstes Team-Meeting findet als Webinar statt.
Our next team meeting will take place as a webinar.
Common verbs used in connection with 'Webinar' (webinar) are 'an einem Webinar teilnehmen' (to participate in a webinar), 'ein Webinar halten' (to hold/give a webinar), or 'sich für ein Webinar anmelden' (to sign up for a webinar).
Morgen halte ich ein Webinar über Zeitmanagement.
Tomorrow I'm giving a webinar on time management.
If you want to say that you are taking part in a webinar, you use the fixed expression 'an etwas teilnehmen' (to participate in something). The noun after 'an' is always in the dative.
Ich nehme morgen an einem interessanten Webinar teil.
I'm participating in an interesting webinar tomorrow.
seminar
'das Seminar' and 'das Webinar' are very closely related because both can be learning events on a topic. The most important difference is the place or format: a seminar can take place in a room, for example at university or in a company. A webinar takes place online over the internet and normally also allows questions or active participation. Learners may confuse the words because a webinar is basically an online seminar. If the event takes place on the internet, 'Webinar' is more precise; without this online connection, people usually say 'Seminar'.
Aus Zeitmangel nehme ich an einem Webinar teil, das ich von zu Hause aus besuchen kann.
Because I do not have much time, I am taking part in a webinar that I can attend from home.
