Basic German A2.2
Everyday Life and Study in Germany
Basic German A2.2 enables participants to use German in more demanding situations in everyday life, at university and at work. They learn, among other things, to make a complaint, describe past events, prepare application documents, summarise information and justify their views. At the same time, they explore current topics such as sustainability, internships and digital communication. The module helps learners express themselves with greater nuance and communicate appropriately in less familiar situations.
