Are you already a bit on your way in learning the German language and would like to improve your knowledge? With this beginners' German course from the University of Groningen Language Centre, you will expand your basic knowledge of German and learn to speak German better and better.
Who is this course for?

This course is for beginners of German with CEFR level A1. During the course, we work towards level A2. The course is taught in German as much as possible, with explanations provided in English or Dutch when necessary. It is therefore important that you have a good command of English in order to participate in the course.

If you are unsure whether this level is right for you, you can test yourself online using the placement test! Alternatively, make an appointment for the online consultation to get personal advice from our teacher.

What will you learn in this course?

The course consists of 12 two-hour lessons, during which the following topics will be covered:

  • Speaking on current topics
  • Making a proposal
  • Making comparisons using the comparative and superlative
  • Talking about experiences
How many hours of independent study are required?

You should expect to spend a total of 30 hours on independent study in order to stay on track with the course. Each week, you are expected to go through the lesson material, learn and practise the vocabulary, complete the grammar exercises and pay sufficient attention to your listening and reading skills.

What will you be able to do after the course?
  • Planning and discussing an activity
  • Understand an article from a newspaper
  • Giving detailed information about your own life
  • Understand a conversation between two people

After successfully completing this course, you will be ready for the follow-up course German A2>A2/B1.
