This set of German tutorials are less specific and more targeted for those who want to get a range of different things from learning German. Even though all novice students will cover survival German: as well as German to visit somewhere abroad to make solid contacts with the locals, what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefited from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in German culture and those who just want to pass a specific examination in German.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business German
These German lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn German to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Once you have become more proficient, then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with imports and exports, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even in our most rudimentary lesson for beginnners, students can expect to finish with decent telephone and e-mail German, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country where the language is spoken.

Top Tips For…
german Entertainment
Criminal- Netflix Series
Binge-watching German series is actually educational! Listening to people speaking in German in real-life contexts is crucial to develop your listening skills, so why not watch a series of German origin, such as Criminal, a series of stand-alone episodes in which each one consists of a gripping-police investigation to solve a crime. Watching Criminal in its original language can be challenging even for advanced learners, but try not to use the dubbed version of the series. Instead, turn on the English subtitles and start training your ear. Learn more about Criminal here!german Entertainment

Are you in the mood for a comedy? Enjoy Goodbye, Lenin! while improving your German proficiency! The film follows the story of Alex, a boy whose mother suffers a heart attack and falls into a coma.

When the woman recovers, the doctor warns Alex that shock could result in another (this time fatal) heart attack, so the movie is full of absurd and hilarious situations where Alex tries to shield his mother from the changing landscape in Berlin.
