German Beginners Term 3

If you're thinking about learning a new language, German could well make an excellent choice. It may not leap to mind as an exciting language to have in your arsenal, but hear us out. While German doesn't have the romantic allure of French, nor is it considered a business asset like Chinese, the language wins hands down once you start considering its other strengths:
- For the English speaker, German is often surprisingly easy to master.
- About 40% of German words are similar to their English sounding counterparts.
- Mastering German will also improve your English.
So whether you are learning German for travelling, working abroad or at home, this German Beginners course will enable you to communicate confidently on a basic level in everyday situations, including socialising and the world of work.
This course is aimed at Beginners - for learners with some prior knowledge of the language.

You will explore a range of topics, including the following:
- Talking about your daily routine
- Telling the time
- Talking about activities and pastimes
- Arranging to meet
- Expressing likes and dislikes and preferences
- Talking about the weather
- Have a simple shopping conversation
- Understanding the weather forecast
- Agreeing and disagreeing
- Having a shopping conversation
- Ordering food in a restaurant

- Motivation; a friendly manner and willingness to work as part of a team, and do weekly homework; good attendance and punctuality. Bring writing materials.
Your tutor will advise you which textbook to purchase.

There is no formal assessment, however our classroom activities are designed to assess and develop your skills:
- Listening to audio clips and watching videos
- Role-playing
- Class room discussion
- Pair and group work
- Working on pronunciation, intonation and grammar
The lessons focus on language that is required in authentic situations and your tutor will be on hand to support you throughout the course and to help you with any worries that you may have.
