Business German – German for the job

The primary aim of this course is to give you confidence when speaking, be it on the phone, in meetings or at trade fairs. We will concentrate not only your active speaking, but also on pronunciation, listening comprehension and appropriate vocabulary. Should you have to write emails, minutes or reports, you will also have the opportunity to work on these areas and improve your written expression.

Course format

Individual German lessons, live with your private teacher

Learning German online allows you to enjoy live face-to-face lessons with your own private teacher at times that suit you. You can see your teacher, write in the chat window, send texts back and forth and record your lesson. This enables you to train your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills and to keep a record of your online sessions for later review.

Course content

You determine the course content in your private lessons. If you are a beginner at level A1 or A2, we recommend working with a course book. However, if you already have a good basis (~ from level B1), you can also work with authentic material, e.g. emails and texts (documents, brochures, website) from your professional environment. We will focus on the vocabulary you need and practise using German in situations that are relevant to you. read more / mehr lesen
