Professeur d'allemand

Nicholas has a passion for Germanic languages and holds a Master’s degree in Germanic languages and literature from the Université Libre de Bruxelles. A keen traveller, he frequently visits German cities, particularly Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. He also had the opportunity to perfect his German in Vienna. These cultural immersions in German-speaking countries have enabled him to develop a fluency in Goethe’s language.

I tried out several different methods of learning German myself and they all seemed very complicated. Now, thanks to my course with Nicholas, I’m making great progress and having fun at the same time!

German A1 - Description of the course

The A1 (elementary) German course is aimed at anyone wishing to acquire a solid grounding in the language. No previous knowledge is required. In order to meet the needs of a wide audience, this course focuses on everyday language. More professional vocabulary is gradually introduced.


The course will be based essentially on the DaF Kompakt neu method (DaF = Deutsch als Fremdsprache: German as a foreign language). This learning method, specially designed for adults, has the advantage not only of providing basic and professional vocabulary, but also of familiarising learners with notions of German, Austrian and Swiss culture. As everyone has different expectations, this method enables individual needs to be met as effectively as possible.

German A1 - Method

Through a variety of dialogues and role-playing situations, students will learn how to introduce themselves and talk about their hobbies and free time, both orally and in writing. They will also be able to refine their comprehension skills by reading simplified newspaper articles and through dialogues on a variety of subjects, such as making an appointment, finding out about a flat to rent, a telephone conversation and a radio interview. Each activity will aim to develop several skills and will culminate in a fun, interactive activity in which students will find themselves immersed in a real-life situation. Herzlich Willkommen im Kurs !

German A2 - Course description

TheGerman course level 2 is designed to deepen the basics of Goethe’s language.
To be eligible, students must have a basic knowledge of the language, corresponding to level A1 of the European Framework of Reference for Languages. This prerequisite can be attested either by prior success in the first training unit, or by basic knowledge acquired in another way. In the latter case, a written and oral test will determine the level.
As this second training unit is a logical continuation of the previous one, this course will be based essentially on the DAF Kompakt neu method, which is also used at the Goethe Institutes. This method favours solid and rapid learning of the basic notions of the language. DAF Kompakt neu A2 allows the concepts covered in the A1 manual to be continued and expanded. One of the strengths of this method is that it is aimed at both students and working adults. Through the various themes covered, such as student and professional life, health and travel, learners, whatever their personal objectives, will be able to develop their language skills, and the concepts covered will be extended and reinforced by additional exercises taken from the Linie A2 method.

German A2 - Method

This learning method aims to bring learners up to an A2 level of language proficiency. Each chapter focuses on a specific theme and provides progressive, contextualised learning of grammar and vocabulary. german while consolidating the concepts covered in the previous manual. By reading different articles and listening to dialogues dealing with different themes and cultural aspects of German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein), learners will not only be able to perfect their language skills but also immerse themselves in different cultures. Oral and written skills will be acquired and reinforced through role-playing (group dialogues) and short essays linked to the themes of the course. Viel Spaß!
