EP Berlin General German Classic

Course overview

The General German programme at EP Berlin is designed to help you develop your German language and communication skills, giving you the confidence and ability to function in everyday situations. You will practise your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills through a communicative approach with the help of our experienced and qualified teachers. You will have multiple opportunities to learn and practise your German language skills in a variety of 'real-life' situations around campus and through our social programme. You will also be able to improve your pronunciation and develop your grammar and vocabulary range.

At EP Berlin, we offer six levels of General German Courses from Beginner to Advanced. 

• Our Beginner level class accepts students with very little exposure to French but requires a certain level of literacy.
• Lower-level students may also choose to increase their progress by taking an additional 1-1 classes. 
• Our Advanced General German class is for students with high-level communicative skills. 
• Some students may consider a 'Semi-intensive 25' course to accelerate their learning or go on to study an examination preparation course.  
• For those students who would like more time to explore the city in which they're studying, we recommend the 'Classic 20' or 'Semi-intensive 25' course. 

After you take a General German Classic at EP Berlin, you should:

• have improved your listening, reading and writing skills 
• be able to speak German with more confidence and fluency 
• have developed your German vocabulary knowledge  
• have a better understanding of German grammatical structures  
• have a greater knowledge of useful functional language needed in everyday real-life situations 

To get the most out of your learning experience, we recommend that you attend at least 85% of classes, complete all homework given, and do self-study as directed by your teacher.
