Prerequisites
The course is appropriate to accommodate participants at different levels, from A1 to C1, according to Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CERF), offering a personalized approach.
Approach
The aim of the course is to provide comprehensive exploration of the German language, with a particular emphasis on its grammatical structures from a pragmatic-functional perspective. Each lesson is task-oriented, focusing on a specific topic that connects logically to previous and upcoming lessons. Grammatical concepts are systematically explored through practical exercises and the composition and revision of various types of texts. By analyzing common errors, participants will identify their individual grammatical challenges, leading to greater accuracy in usage. Additionally, the curriculum includes linguistic comparisons between German and English, and the participants have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in practical translation exercises, further enhancing their language proficiency. By the end of this course, the participants possess a solid foundation in German grammar, positioning them for success in everyday conversations, as well as academic and professional settings.
