B1+: Advanced Mittelstufe Review (in-person ~ Thurs. AM)

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.

If you are unsure of your level, please take a placement test HERE.

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.

This is an in-person that meets for 12 weeks on Thursday mornings from 9:30AM to 11:30AM once a week. Additionally, the instructor will offer a weekly "office hour" (30 min) for homework questions and review.
