This course is intensive and is intended for dedicated, highly self-motivated students who will take responsibility for their learning and creation of meaning with their peers. In comparison to the semi-intensive course, you will indeed work with the same materials and textbook. However, you will be able to improve your German competence, expand your vocabulary and deepen your overall knowledge of German much faster.
This course is designed for the beginning student with no previous knowledge of German and focuses on the development of communicative competence in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The textbook Begegnungen A1 in conjunction with current culture-rich supplemental materials offers a balanced approach to developing your individual language competencies. One of the foci of this course is Berlin and the region. Therefore, authentic material will be used in the course and during the weekly course-related excursions.
