The A2 level German for beginners with prior knowledge can be completed at our school in an eight-week standard course or a four-week intensive course.
The Fast Track to Level A2
The prerequisite is that you have successfully completed level A1 and bring the prior knowledge from the A1 German course.
We also start immediately in the A2 course with speaking exercises, small dialogues, role plays, and conversations using simple language tools. In addition, you will learn more important elements of the German language, especially the perfect tense (the past tense used in speaking), the dative case, special verbs, and verb-end position in subordinate clauses.
At the end of the A2 course, you will be able to handle simple situations in everyday life, e.g., talking about yourself and your hobbies and interests, recounting past experiences, ordering in a restaurant, making an appointment, organizing a celebration and inviting others, congratulating, and expressing thanks.
