Introduction
Herzlich willkommen! This two-week course for near-beginners in German is the third course in the Getting stated with German series and follows on from Getting started with German 1 [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] and Getting started with German 2. If you studied these courses, welcome back.
Each week comprises around 3-4 hours of interactive activities, explanations and tips about language-learning. There are also some videos about specific language points.
It’s a good idea to keep notes either on paper in a notebook or on your preferred digital device; in any case each week you’ll be encouraged to add to your own personal phrase book and decide how best you can go about memorising and practising key phrases and vocabulary. There is also a quiz at the end of each week for you to practise what you’ve been learning.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- understand German vocabulary for items of clothing and colours
- express preferences, ask for and give permission, and apologise
- talk about television programmes
- use separable verbs in the present tense.
