Hallo und Guten Tag!

If you like a rigorous learning course with homework and assessments (not required), this course will help you sail through German language acquisition. You will meet twice a week with a Native German Speaker Teacher, certified to teach foreign languages.
This expedition is highly interactive, and I will encourage every learner to speak as much German as possible during the course. 

It's not too late to join this course now! Reach out!

This German High School Expedition for beginners is especially interesting for students who would like to learn German as a Second Language and/or who are planning to study in Germany at some point. Universities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are popular thanks to their expertise, so many students from all over the world choose to study in German-speaking countries. German universities often offer excellent Master Studies for a lower price than other universities. 

Reasons to learn German in this expedition:
- continue your German studies
- connect with your German roots
- explore the German language for fun
- to get a head start at Uni
- prepare for a German language test in the future

I have lived in Germany almost all my life and can contribute some insights as well as fun facts about the German culture (Dos and Don'ts, idioms, everyday life, books and films, etc.)

In each lesson, we will cover the four skills 
- listening, 
- speaking, 
- reading, 
- writing,
with a strong emphasis on listening and speaking during the online session. 

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 in an intensive and ongoing way,
- explore authentic situations and activities and train natural, spontaneous interaction. 


In our meetings, we will use different kinds of texts, comic strips, activities, exercises, drawings, photos, videos, reference materials, grammar tables, verb lists, and a glossary. 

In addition, I will also use interactive, digital, and print materials that I have created over the course of the 16 years of leading career preparing and assessing students for German universities (Abitur). 

In this expedition, I will speak as much German as possible, but I am also specialized in explaining grammar in English and French if needed. I will make slight changes to meet students' needs, challenges, and interests.

Looking forward to seeing you in the German Expedition !

Bis bald!
