For this course some previous knowledge of German is required!

„Wie wohnst du?“

(How do you live?)

Imagine you are visiting your friend or your partner's family in a German-speaking country. What better way to show your interest and curiosity than learn the language? In this course you will learn to talk about housing and your family. If you have travel plans to Europe or will be joining your German-speaking partner to visit family, this course is for you.

You will learn:

  • To talk about flats

  • To describe a flat

  • To talk about furniture

  • To talk about your likes and dislikes

  • To talk about a family-run business

This course introduces to the language and everyday culture of German-speaking countries. Join us to get started with German in a supportive atmosphere to gain confidence speaking. You will expand your vocabulary and learn new grammar. The course is held via Zoom and a virtual classroom. If you have any questions please get in touch or sign up for a free get-to-know-you-meeting. You can always join the first meeting for free to see if it's a good fit for you. Please contact me for that.
