Thanks to your basic language skills, you can already understand your German-language environment in simple everyday situations much better. Take the next step and become a more active and confident speaker yourself.
This course is a continuation of “Deutsch als Fremdsprache: A2.1” and covers chapters 7–12 in <i>Netzwerk neu A2.2</i>. Participants will train for various linguistic situations from daily, academic, and professional life.
You will expand your vocabulary and grammar through texts, videos, and audio clips on topics like travel and transportation, learning, everyday working life, exercise, free time, living situations, the past, time (problems), entertainment, and art. You will learn to express yourself appropriately in various concrete daily and conversational situations—for example, how to express and react politely to questions, suggestions, advice, and desires—and to write short and simple messages and texts.
Important grammar topics will include indirect questions, subjunctive II, prepositions of place for indicating location, positional and directional verbs with prepositions of place and other prepositional verbs, simple past tense, temporal clauses, an expansion of linking words for main and subordinate clauses, and an introduction to relative clauses.
German, the target language, is the language of instruction; the academic lingua franca of English may occasionally be used as an auxiliary language.
