Description
Welcome to my course! The focus of this course is being able to understand German and express yourself in German on a beginner to elementary level. We will work with very simple sentences straight away, and then you will learn the German grammar along these simple sentences. Use the section 'Describing things' to get used to the sound of the language. The section after that is about the pronunciation rules.The lectures are mostly bite-sized and supported with visuals to help you remember all the new things you learn. Don't feel pressured if you have no knowledge of German. Try to do what you can - everything will be explained eventually. When you review the lectures with the German sentences later, it will already seem a lot easier. For each topic there are lectures that solely contain examples. Use the pauses in between to repeat the sentences. You can also adjust the speed setting on the Udemy video player (bottom left: 1x) if you feel that things are going too fast (or too slow).The practice video lectures have been designed for on the go situations as well as for home studying: fully digitalized or with pen and paper. The two test versions to choose from will be available after we have covered some basics.There are also quizzes, exercises (e.g. translations, sentence building) and some additional downloadable material, which you can find by clicking on the 'Resources' buttons in the lectures overview on the right side of the video player. (This course does not contain direct preparation for standardized language tests.)I hope this course will greatly support you in taking your first steps in German. All the best, Esther, Course Instructor
