Under the "Regular" category, we offer four levels German language courses: A1, A2, B1, B2. The content of all our regular German language courses are in accordance with the standardized guideline of The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Below, you will get an overview of subjects covered by the above mentioned levels respectively.

A1

In A1 level of German language, learners are introduced to the basics of the language and learn to communicate in simple everyday situations. The focus is on developing basic skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in German. The following are some of the topics covered in A1 level German:
