About Geman 6
- The meetings are all about discussing. You learn to communicate effectively and argue your opinion. You choose a topical subject on which you give a presentation in class. In this way, you learn to speak more confidently and seek interaction with the audience.
- We read an essay by a young upcoming philosopher. Each lesson, we discuss a chapter. This is not only good for your language skills, but also introduces you to German-language popular science texts.
- You practice using formal word combinations and using different writing styles.
This course follows on German level 5, but can also be taken separately if you have B2- level. Not sure what your language level is? Then take our free placement test.
