[b]Description[/b]
This course contains all the grammar and structure on an A2 level as well as several texts on topics used in daily conversation, such as personal data, family, looks and character, living, travelling, health, money, school, studying, work, celebrations, the internet, leisure time and public transport.All grammar explanations are in German, so you can train your listening, and there is on-screen English text to support your understanding. 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 lecture in German, there is also a script with the German text, so you have both, the German and the English version.Each lecture also has a pdf-script attached with the lecture presentation.Of course, there are also exercises and quizzes for you to practice what you have learned.The texts on different topics will be read out and you can read along. The most important vocabulary will be presented once more at the end of the lecture but of course, there is no need to limit yourself - there are plenty of other words and expressions in the texts that you can add to your wordbank collection.The focus of this course is on effectiveness and efficiency and therefore designed for people, who are serious about advancing their German and might need it for their university studies or their work.I certainly hope you will find the course helpful in your journey to understanding and using German in your life.Viele Grüße, Esther Hartwig, Course Instructor
