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 prior knowledge is required. To meet the needs of a wide audience, this course focuses on everyday language elements. 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.
