Please note: classes for this course run for two and a half hours from 6pm to 8.30pm.

Learn how to speak and understand German from beginner level and discover the diversity of cultures in the German-speaking world. You can take German 1 as a short course, or as part of the Certificate of Higher Education in Culture and Language (French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish) or a BA degree.

Our German 1 course is for complete beginners with no previous experience of German and leads to *CEFR A2 (Elementary)/GCSE level. You will learn foundational vocabulary and some basic grammatical structures, enabling you to:

  • have everyday conversations
  • read and write at a basic level.

You will also learn about the cultures of the German-speaking countries as you learn the language. Classes are interactive and taught by native or near-native speakers.

Assessment is via two pieces of coursework (10%), an in-class listening assessment (40%), in-class oral assessment (20%), in-class written assessment (20%), portfolio (5%) and class participation (5%).

We offer German language courses from beginner to advanced levels so you can continue your journey to a high level of competency.

Some classes can fill up quickly and you are encouraged to enrol as early as possible.
