B2 German Intensive course

Our B2 German course builds on the B1 intensive course. The B2 intensive course offers a well-founded introduction to important fundamentals of scientific language. You learn such B2 structures as nominalization, verbalization, participles, subjunctive I etc. and practice these intensively in the course. In addition, you will gradually build up your academic and job-related reading and listening skills using texts with a higher level of difficulty. The range of vocabulary is expanded to include study and subject-specific topics.

In our B2 intensive course, you will continuously build up your oral and written communication skills in a study-related context. Summaries, graphic descriptions and the writing of argumentative text productions are practiced.

Your daily B2 lessons with us look like this:

• Training of oral and written communication skills
• intensive vocabulary work
• Training of listening and reading comprehension based on texts with a higher level of difficulty
• Learning and practicing more complex grammar structures
• Presentation and writing training
• Pronunciation training

After successfully completing our B2 intensive course, you will have advanced knowledge of spoken and written German and will be able to use it confidently. You can express yourself independently and specifically in the oral as well as in the written production on a wide range of topics, explain the pros and cons of current problems and represent your own point of view.

After completing the course, you will also be able to communicate effectively at work, have long, complex conversations and be able to correctly write and verbal information.
