Description

Time to get your German to a conversational level !What's special about this course:Start off  with an entry level test to make sure your A2 level is covered.The course contains specialized exercises on certain topics, that will support you in a more personalized way by answering questions you might have and providing additonal explanations on solutions. (There are also standard exercises for topics that require straight-forward repetition of structures.)The grammar and vocabulary is often intertwined, so even if it gets theoretical, there is an immediate practical benefit.All explanations are in German, so you can train your listening. There is on-screen English text to support your understanding (no hectic clicking back and forth to catch the subtitles). The explanations are compact and to the point and are supported by multiple examples, which also give you more options to expand your vocabulary and demonstrate how to use vocabulary and grammar in the context of spoken language. For each explanation video in German, there is also a script with the German text, so you have both, the German and the English version. You can also use the German script to read along as you listen to the lectures. This will further help your reading and listening skills.The lectures has a pdf-script attached with the lecture presentation and you will also get a written version of the exercises.A final test covers the whole course content and will give you the opportunity to double-check which topics you have mastered and which might need another review.Are you ready to take your German to the next level?The focus of this course is on effectiveness and efficiency and therefore designed for people, who are serious about studying German systematically and for those who might need it for their university studies or their work.This course will help you a great deal to take a big step forward in your language acquisition. If you are looking to take a test such as Goethe, telc or FIDE, the material up to any of the B1 tests is covered in this course.This course is the third of the intensive course series. The German Language Intensive Courses A1, A2 and B1 build up on one another. If you haven't taken the A2, you can find it on my Instructor profile!
