"Der Frühstücksclub"

This weekly course is aimed at adults who already has a very Basic knowledge German and would now like to practise and improve in an exclusive and friendly setting. Perhaps you did a few years at school some time ago, perhaps you completed a German course and would now like to practise, perhaps you have lived here for some time and have been meaning to join a German group... now’s the time to do it!
Set in a villa in Bad Homburg, ILSF offer a wonderful platform to learn German in a fun, friendly and practical way while getting to know other like-minded participants joining you on your journey to speaking German. Tuition is given primarily through German although English may be used while discussing cross-cultural topics.

What can I expect?

This course will focus on practical German for everyday living. The main focus in not on complex grammatical theory or syntax, as highlighted humorously in Mark Twain’s “The Awful German Language”, but rather on practical phrases, vocabulary and useful structures so you can make yourself heard in a range of everyday situations.

Topics

In the course we will target areas such as

Meeting and greeting – Guten Tag und Auf Wiedersehen
Out and about – shopping, at the bank, at the doctor’s, at school
On the road – all about transport – trains, planes and automobiles
Wining and dining – ordering in a restaurant, paying the bill, talking about food and drink
Bureaucracy - paying bills, everyday post
Neighbour networking – small talk phrases to help you interact
Problems - when things don’t go according to plan!
Cross-cultural communication – idiosyncrasies of German culture through English (including book recommendation)

Method

This course is very hands on and focuses primarily on getting you to speak German using set phrases for a variety of situations. Through a series of role-plays, you practise the language that has been learnt in simulated scenarios with Trainer feedback.

Naturally basic grammar will be taught and practised, new vocabulary will be introduced and you will be requested to review what has been covered in class so we can progress the following week.
