We recommend this course to students and professionals who have an interest in the German language and culture.
During the three weeks of language training, participants acquire the ability to understand and use familiar, everyday expressions and very simple phrases. For example, they learn to: introduce themselves, make contact, or answer general questions about themselves. At the end of the course, they will have a very elementary range of simple phrases with which they can "survive" in Germany. With regard to grammar, the content appropriate for this level is taught.
With varied language exercises, communicative games, small role-play, and dialogue games, all skills are practised, especially speaking, so that at the end of the course the participants can communicate in a very simple way. According to the European Framework of Reference, this course corresponds to level A1.
Language requirements: none, English knowledge is required for communication outside the course!
