This course will have no more than 5 students at a time, so that I can give proper attention and practice to each individual in the group. We'll cover the whole A1 syllabus in 30 hours. We can have upto 10 extra hours, if the students feel that their needs haven't been fully met. We'll cover all 4 aspects : Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. I'll work with the students on these aspects enabling them to practice all 4 and get feedback/corrections on their mistakes and how to avoid them. We'll do a lot of exercises which will give the student comfort with understanding and to an extent clearly communicating in German.

Main topics:

• Introduce yourself/countries/occupations

• The alphabet & the numbers
