Master your German

Master your German

ABOUT THIS COURSE

"Master your German online"

In my course, which is NOT a traditional language course, you will learn how to master and improve your language skills over a given time span of your own choice by using open and free online resources which are authentic and constantly updated by institutions and different providers.

Who Is This Course For?

The target group of my course are adult and highly motivated students of German worldwide who have already achieved an intermediate level of German (B 1 / B2 according to the European Common Framework) either at their schools or universities or in other contexts. Improving your “Business German" is not directly addressed in this course, but can be mastered as well by choosing your own resources online.

No teaching but coaching

I will take you step by step through known portals like the website of the GOETHE-INSTITUT and DEUTSCHE WELLE and others and help you to create and develop your individual and powerful pathway to improve your understanding of authentic videos and texts and media updates in the target language. Based on my 35 years experience of teaching languages and literature I will demonstrate how you can improve your grammar, your reading and writing skills and how you will boost up your German without losing interest in the subject matter.

I will use a clear project based lesson structure for my course allowing you to follow my examples and then explore freely on your own without further guidance and tutoring. This adult learning concept trusts that you will not have to study texts or videos on subject matters you are not interested in.

So no waste of time and lost energies.

This course is suitable for anyone with normal computer and IT skills.

If in trouble I will be available to guide you through possible solutions teaching you to find answers on the net or on special forums plus my own Wordpress Blog.
