German for You A2/B1: Grammar, Elementary to Intermediate
What you'll learn
- All the important German grammar points on an A2/B1 level in detail with additional tips & information
- Reflexive verbs, prepositional phrases, passive voice, word order, subjunctive, Genitiv and many more interesting topics
- Core structures and grammar that will take your German to the next level
- Structures that will help you understand and express and describe more complex thoughts and situations
Requirements
- This is an A2 and B1 course, so before taking it you should have covered the grammar points of the level A1.
- The exact topics that are fundamental for this course are listed in the lecture overview of my course 'German for You A1: Grammar for Beginners'.
- I will give in-course translations for the example sentences except the very basics, so you should also know some basic German vocabulary.
Description
If you are studying German anywhere from the beginning of A2 until the end of B1, this course is for you!
We will start off with an entry level test to make sure your A1-level is solid and can be built upon, as this course follows my A1 grammar course. In all answers you will be provided with a grammar explanation, which is a great refresher for what you've already learned.
You will then learn all the important German grammar points and more on an elementary to intermediate level (A2 to B1).
I will illustrate the grammar points with many real-life examples that are translated in-course, so you will be able to pick up quite a bit of vocabulary as well, and provide you with exercises at the end of each topic to practice what you learned.
For each lecture, I added a pdf-sheet with the complete lecture content. There is also a pdf-worksheet attached to almost all lectures with additional written exercises, and some of them also contain additional information.
The German language levels concerning grammar (A1-B1) don't have a clear-cut curriculum. Some topics are typically taught on certain levels but depending on the course they might come up sooner or later. To give you a better orientation, I added the levels to my course lectures in which the topic typically appears first.
Lecture (A2): usually comes up in level A2
Lecture (B1): usually comes up in level B1
Lecture (Plus): Not always covered in the common level-oriented curriculum
In my experience, the A2 topics are also of interest to intermediate learners because in common textbooks they are often brought up but not worked out in detail. Many learners go into the B1 level with a lot of A2-questions unanswered. That's why I included them - in detail, with hopefully all questions answered. And if you still have any questions, there's a Q&A, where you can find many answers or simply ask your individual questions.
I hope your learning experience will be splendid! And now let's get started - Los geht's!
Who this course is for:
- A2, B1 and B2 students - from advanced beginner up to higher intermediate.
- Higher intermediate and advanced learners who want to brush up on their grammar.
- Students who prefer to study in a structured manner.
- People who study German for work or university and need clear and precise information.
