Hallo und Guten Tag! Not sure if German is the right language for you? No matter if you just want to learn some German words and grammar to converse with Native Speakers or if you are actually planning on studying in German - this course will get you all set up. This German Class for Beginners is a self-paced class, so there won’t be any LIVE meetings with the teacher. Nevertheless, learners will engage in the Outschool classroom with the teacher. I will be available to answer your questions and give feedback on Fridays. In each lesson, we will cover the four skills - listening, - speaking, - reading, - writing. We will - listen to short audio texts to train global as well as selective listening, - build up new vocabulary, - prepare short everyday conversations in German, - practice pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, - explore authentic situations and activities and train natural, spontaneous interaction.

My video tutorial and all related materials are all there for you to explore at your own pace. Learners will be encouraged to share their completed mini-project of each week by uploading a video, a picture, or a PDF and send it to me. You can even send me on a scavenger hunt! The teacher has lived in Germany almost all her life and can contribute some insights as well as fun facts about German culture (Dos and Don'ts, idioms, everyday life, books and films, etc.) In this class, we will work on: German sounds, greetings, numbers, clothes, family, activities, colours, and going shopping. What are the reasons to learn German in this beginners' course? - to get a head start at Uni - to talk to German family members/friends - I prepare international students (age 17+) for German language tests, such as TestDaf and Goethe Zertifikat In this course, I will speak as much German as possible, but I am also specialized in explaining grammar in English. I am offering a follow-up German beginner course: German for High School I or German for Beginners Expedition. Bis bald! Nadine
