B1+: Advanced Mittelstufe Review (in-person ~ Mon pm)

B1+ is a review class for students who have completed B1.3. 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 work.

Course Objectives:

At the end of B1+ students can express themselves coherently and talk about themselves and familiar topics or areas of personal interest. They can describe their hopes and wishes and talk about past experiences. They can follow conversations when the focus is on familiar topics and when standard German is spoken. In addition they will be ready for B2.

Course Dates, Location, & Time:

This is an in-person class that meets for 12 weeks on Monday evenings from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the GAI (301 Summit Ave., St. Paul, MN). Additionally, the instructor will offer a weekly "office hour" (30 min) for homework questions and review. The course instructor will decide on a day/time to offer the 30-minute office hour and communicate day/time of week with all registered course participants.
