- We will discuss your goals and objectives and what you want to focus on in your German lessons.
- If you do not have any particular area that you would like to work on, we will progress through the individual levels while systematically building your skills in the areas of:
- speaking, listening, reading, and writing
- vocabulary and grammar
- pronunciation
- intercultural competence
- After each lesson, you will receive the chat transcript from our lesson with vocabulary and phrases discussed during class.
- After each lesson, you will receive an email summarizing the lesson and important grammar concepts.
- You set the pace: We move at a faster pace when you have enough time to prepare and follow up on lessons. At times when you have many other commitments, we go slow and review a lot.
- I use modern textbooks as the basis for our lessons. In our online lesson, I will use the digital version of the textbook which I will share with you on the screen and you will use the print version in which you can write and do your homework. I use the texbooks Schritte international Neu and Sicher! Aktuell from Hueber Verlag in München, Germany. The textbooks are available at IBIS - International Book Import Service or at Amazon.
- Depending on the topic, I will supplement the textbook with various authentic materials and resources that relate directly to a particular unit in our textbook. These resources include audio, video, interactive games, music, links to German TV shows, podcasts, and more.
Every learner is unique and has different goals and objectives. Therefore, we will progress at a rate and speed that is comfortable for you. The goal of our lessons is for you to enjoy making progress and to expand your German language skills.
