Guten Tag!

Sprichst Du Deutsch?*

Are you ready to embark on a linguistic adventure? This class is the perfect opportunity for beginners to dive into the German language and culture while having fun!  

Why this class?
This interactive 20-week journey is for learners who dream of speaking German confidently. From greeting people with “Guten Tag!” to presenting their own little projects, we’ll focus on conversation-driven learning in a relaxed and immersive environment.  

Our weekly 45-minute live sessions emphasize both confidence and creativity. You’ll build strong communication skills while having fun with interactive activities. Oh, and did we mention the practice materials are designed to make language learning your new favorite hobby?  

What Skills Will You Build?
In every class, we’ll combine:  
🎧 Listening: Short, sharp audio exercises for quick comprehension.
🗣️ Speaking: Words, phrases, and everyday conversations to bring German to life.
📖 Reading: Exploring texts, comics, and stories that capture your imagination.
✍️ Writing: From crafting sentences to expressing your thoughts in German.

We’ll focus on learners' interactions through activities like games, skits, role-playing, and even cultural exploration.


Each week offers a unique theme—we’ll delve into topics like:  
Greetings & Colors | Food & Hobbies | Shopping | Birthdays & Celebrations  
And more! Closer to Christmas, we’ll even dive into festive crafts and songs to enrich your cultural learning.  

What's unique about this course?
Interactive Learning: Speak, laugh, play games, and learn!
Creative Activities: From German comics to making invitations, every session promises variety.
Personalized Approach: Flexible teaching style tailored to meet YOUR needs.
Grammar? Easy-peasy: I’ll break it down in English or French as needed!

Course Highlights
You’ll use unique resources I’ve developed over 16 years of teaching, including:  
Fun games and collaborative projects
Handy grammar tables, verb lists, and glossaries
Videos, photos, and stories to bring the language to life

By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident presenting yourself in German, engaging in everyday dialogues, and maybe even hosting a party… like a true German!  
Be part of our learning adventure!  

Looking forward to seeing you in our German for Friends course. 🥳
