Deutsch als Fremdsprache: EinsteigerInnen II

This course continues the course "EinsteigerInnen I" (if you have attended at least 8 sessions or 16 lessons). Learners with some German knowledge are invited to join this course after a short talk with the Language Center staff/ lecturer. Further fundamentals of grammar (e.g. modal verbs, perfect forms, pronouns, comparison) and vocabulary will be taught. Linguistic situations in University-, working- and personal life will be trained.

Regular progress checks are an essential element of this course.

Should the progression of the pandemic allow it, classes will again be offered on site.
