Introductory German

Starts

Willkommen! In this series, we will be learning the basics of the German language and get you to an A1 level where you would feel comfortable taking the A1 CEFR exam. We will be learning lots of topics such as weather, animals, shopping, food, and so much more! In addition to the traditional language learning skills of Reading, Writing, Speaking, and listening, we will also be learning about culture through various activities. This series is ideal for anyone interested in learning German and ready to commit time to studying and mastering the concepts.

I have tutored this series 5 times before and know how to help you succeed through this series. For the best outcome, you need to be able to attend ALL sessions as they build off of each other. Students do best when the practice is outside of sessions, so I provide specific homework that will have you master the material.

To keep you on track with learning, I will be keeping track of attendance and homework. If you can have excellent attendance and good scores on work, you will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the series.
