Course Content
The emphasis of this 11 week course is on spoken German and on acquiring language which would be useful on holiday, such as ordering food and drinks in a café and asking for directions and information. We also develop conversational skills, such as talking about ourselves, our families, friends, hobbies and studies.
Assessment
You hand in samples of work done during the course for external moderation and complete relevant paperwork – this will not be onerous!
