B1 - offers
The B1-courses are suitable for advanced learners with a good language basis.
If you have already learned German on your own or otherwise and have reached level A2 in a free placement test, the B1-course is the right choice for you.
Our teachers speak mostly simple German and rarely English in the course. During lessons actual topics will be discussed, students' interests will be also taken into consideration.
At the end of the course students will be able to express, explain and justify their opinions, wishes and hopes in order to participate in discussions.
More general information about our courses can be found in the module handbook and the Study and Examination Regulations (not barrier-free).
