Details:
Our courses for Everyday Communication focus on basic oral skills. They are aimed at beginners with little knowledge of German. The goal is for you to be able to hold simple conversations in German and communicate successfully in everyday situations. We offer courses for three target levels: A1, A2, and B1.
The course Presentation and Discussion focuses on oral skills in a more academic context. This course is aimed at learners of German who have already achieved an advanced level (B2 or C1). The aim is to enable you to present and discuss scientific topics in seminars in an appropriate manner. We want to enable you to express yourself more freely and confidently in class.
Where and when do the courses take place?
All courses take place at the Institute for German as a Foreign Language Philology (Institut für Deutsch als Fremdsprache / IDF), Plöck 55, 69117 Heidelberg.
