German for Beginners 1 (BID0392)

Knowledge of German is not a requirement for this course. The objective is to convey basic abilities that will enable students to actively participate in everyday and student life in a German-speaking environment. It addresses topics such as making contact, studies and work, travel and countries, and shopping and home living. The course content focuses on systematically developing the necessary vocabulary and its communicative use for reading, speaking and writing. The development of grammatical structures is integrated into the subject matter and verbal exercises in a manner that fulfills these communicative objectives.

  • You are able to communicate in German in everyday situations (e.g. at university, at work, in the supermarket, in a restaurant, at public authority offices, when looking for accomodation and when travelling).
