B1+ ~ Advanced Mittelstufe (in-person - Tues. PM)

Course Description:

B1+ is a review class for students who have completed B1.3. There are no completely new structures for the learners. Students will review all grammar structures they have learned in B1.1, B1.2 and B1.3. Please note: while it is possible to move from B1.3 to B2.1, the vast majority of learners benefits from taking at least one review class before moving up to B2.

Learn in a fun environment that focuses on communication and teaches important language skills for everyday life and contemporary professional aspects.
