Language Lessons
Our courses are designed for young adults (14 and up) and adult learners of all ages with no previous or modest knowledge of German. What makes the program unique is that students speak German from the very first day. This allows for an immediate feeling of success, motivates the students and builds confidence from the very beginning.
As students advance they expand their vocabulary and the appropriate use of German structures and phrases. Throughout the program students become acquainted with the German-speaking world’s cultural aspects through readings, artifacts, presentations and documentaries.
How quickly the learning goal and a certain level of fluency and proficiency is reached depends on how long and how much students study. In general, by the end of a program and depending on the proficiency level, students will be able to be understood, and have gained enough knowledge for reading various texts and having meaningful conversations in German.
For homeschoolers, we have direct communication with parents and guardians in regards to setting goals for students’ academic and personal growth. We work closely with parents and guardians to monitor students’ progress.
Total Immersion is a more intense language-learning program designed for total beginners or students with some previous knowledge of German. The goal is to reach a certain level of proficiency within a shorter time period but with a larger workload. The content is the same as in “Language Lessons” but faster paced, in clusters and with more assignments outside the classroom. The frequency of class meetings is determined by individual preferences and availability.
Tutoring
Tutoring is designed to help students of all ages with German classes they are taking in high school, college or graduate school. This includes developing a better understanding of material presented in school as well as becoming comfortable and more independent with assignments. Contact Sabine to discuss your individual needs.
Translations, Research Help and Voice Coaching
This program speaks for itself and can be done in person, via e-mail or online meetings. Contact Sabine to discuss your individual needs.
