STANDARD German course
Together with students from all over the world, our STANDARD course profile offers 20 tuition hours (tuition hour = 45 minutes) per week. These German as a Foreign Language courses take place daily, from Monday to Friday, in small groups with a maximum of ten students per group.
Recommended for:
Our STANDARD German course is designed for motivated learners at all levels: you will develop your German language abilities in a small group with a goal-oriented syllabus. Alongside your language classes, you will have plenty of time to explore and discover Berlin.
Scope and content:
The four main language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) are at the core of the four tuition hours you will have in your small group every day. The first half of your tuition focuses more on theoretical understanding (grammar), which is then practised and put to use in the second half of the day's programme.
Motivation and communication within your German language class are increased and maximised through the focus on important, current topics related to Germany and its peoples. These themes provide the framework within which you will learn and explore the German language.
In order to expose you to as much variation as possible and increase the amount of different voices you hear, we teach our STANDARD language courses in teams. This means that you will have two teachers during the week. One big benefit for you is that you will learn German in slightly different ways and see the language used slightly differently. One advantage for us is that two teachers are better able to judge the best way for us to offer you the most support.
On Friday you will take a review test which checks on your progress and understanding of what you have covered during your classes that week. This will help you to get a better idea of your progress and assess your current abilities and it helps us to identify areas where you might need further practise or training.

Schedule:

Following the first block of two tuition hours, there is a fifteen minute break. This gives you even more opportunities to communicate in German as you meet up with students from other groups. Depending on your personal requirements, or seasonal changes, it is possible to make changes to the schedule of lessons.
