German courses for advanced students
At the intermediate level (B1, B2 & C1) you will learn in most cases with Aspekte neu, a textbook from the ERNST KLETT SPRACHEN publishing house:
B1
B2
C1
| Course level | Course goal |
|---|---|
| B1 Mittelstufe 1 (2 months, B1.1 & B1.2) |
In this important course the basic level is repeated and deepened. You already know almost all of the German grammar, which is now used in numerous realistic exercises. By the end of this level you will have a good basis. You should never stop your German course before this level, because you will quickly forget what you have learned. |
| B2 Mittelstufe 2 (2 months, B2.1 & B2.2) |
The German grammar is already well understood and therefore only repeated selectively in the German course. Now it is all about the finer details of the German language. In many cases, the teacher creates his or her own materials for this German course and thus adapts them optimally to your needs. |
| C1 Mittelstufe 3 (2 months, C1.1 & C1.2) |
This is the last part of the Intermediate Level: you are familiar with the main structures of the German language. Your vocabulary contains approximately 3000 words. The four skills of reading, listening, speaking and writing will continue to be systematically trained in the German course. A wide range of topics will be covered, so that you will be able to cope with all language situations outside of the German course. |
In levels C2.1 and C2.2 your German language skills will be perfected. These courses also prepare you optimally for international language exams. Course materials are provided by the trainer in these courses.
| Course level | Course goal |
|---|---|
| C2 Oberstufe 1 and 2 (2 months, C2.1 & C2.2) |
This German course is more than just a conversation course. It is the final touch, so to speak, and you can now participate in a wide variety of discussions in fluent German. You will also be trained to write texts of all kinds in German. |
