| Comments about courses: | In the three basic levels (A1 – B1) of our Standard-Intensive Course, you’ll learn to understand through listening and reading, pronunciation, grammar, writing, and basic vocabulary. The emphasis of the course is always to speak and make yourself understood in everyday life. Advanced Levels focuses on speaking freely and on the different uses of language in spoken and written German in real contexts (dialogues and role-playing). You will familiarise with the German culture, the state and the people. |
