Course Description
Welcome to my course! This is not a traditional German course, which means we will not start with introducing ourselves with phrases that you cannot understand. Instead, we will work with very simple sentences straight away, and then you will learn the German grammar along these simple sentences. You will learn everything that you need on this beginner level, so you are not going to miss introductions, what to say in the supermarket, restaurant and so on, only you will learn it when you can actually understand and formulate it yourself. So what this course is aiming for is giving you a maximum of flexibility in using the language rather than working with phrases, of which you might not understand the structure.
The lectures are mostly bite-sized and supported with visuals to help you remember all the new things you learn. We will jump straight in in the first video lecture after the introduction. Don't feel pressured if you have no knowledge of German. Try to repeat what you can and everything will be explained in the lecture that follows. When you review the first lecture later, it will already seem a lot easier. There is an English translation for each new word integrated in the video lectures. Use the first section to get used to the sound of the language. The second section will explain the pronunciation rules. After that, you can go back and review the first section.
For each topic there are lectures that solely contain examples. Use the pauses in between to repeat the sentences. You can also adjust the speed setting on the Udemy video player (bottom left: 1x) if you feel that things are going too fast (or too slow).
The practice video lectures have been designed for on the go situations as well as for home studying. That way, you can pick whichever version suits your situation better: fully digitalized or with pen and paper, or both, since repetition is key in language acquisition. The two test versions to choose from will be available from Section 3, after we have covered some basics.
Apart from the practice video lectures, there are also quizzes, exercises (e.
g. translations, sentence building) and some additional downloadable material, which you can find by clicking on the "Ressources" fields attached to some lectures in the lectures overview on the right side of the video player. The solutions are included. I tried to go into as much detail as possible but of course there could still be situations, in which you might struggle. Remember that this is a video course, so you can watch lectures over and over.(This course does not contain mock testing as a direct preparation for standardized language tests.)Who this course is for:
Anybody who wants to start learning the German language."False" beginners of German who have already done a bit of studying here and there.
Students of German , who want to review A1/A2 material and/or close possible knowledge gaps.
