What is the course about?

Learn German in the heart of London. To enable students to discuss and learn about a variety of topics, to practise the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing and to revise grammar. You will read about, listen to and discuss everyday topics, which will enable you to speak more fluently in German as well as being well-informed about life in German-speaking countries. This is an advanced German course.

What will we cover?

A range of different topics will be discussed at this advanced level. The focus is on developing more fluent speaking . Grammar will be consolidated but always embedded in conversation.

What will I achieve?

-use more complex sentence structures (word order, connectors, Infinitive + zu, etc.)

-gain more confidence using different tenses (past tenses, passive, conjunctive II)

-understand the gist of German radio and tv reports

-discuss current affairs and cultural aspects with improved fluency.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

Students should have studied German for at least four years, have a rusty A-level, or an equivalent knowledge of the language. The level within the European framework is B2- C1.1.
For further details of the specific foreign language skills required for this level, please see the languages self-assessment chart at the start of the languages section of our course guide or on our website.
It is also essential that you have knowledge of more complex grammar terminology such as: the subjunctive, the conditional, the dative, the accusative, subordinate clauses and conjunctions.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

The course is based on the communicative approach:

- active students’ interaction
