Are you an independent language learner? Yes? Me too! But sometimes, you’d love to use your newly acquired German skills more actively, wouldn’t you?
Language lessons are not an option because they are too expensive, you don’t want a long-term commitment or you don’t want to have another appointment on your full calendar?
I have an irresistible offer for you! Join me for this 4-week program and improve your German by reading and discussing four short stories with me and other students.
How does this work?
During 4 weeks, you will read and listen to 4 unique short stories. Every story comes with vocabulary German – English and audio. You will get one speaking and one writing task per week.
How much time do I need to invest?
You will need about 30 minutes a day to complete the program successfully. At the end of the program, you will have mastered new language bits, both vocabulary and grammar, and will be able to use them actively.
What level do I need to complete the program successfully?
The program is most suitable for advanced beginners and students who just got started with B1. If you’re a beginner (A1.2), you may still participate but will need more than 30 minutes and must be willing to make an extra effort. If your level is B1+ or higher, you may benefit if feel that your active skills (speaking and writing) are much lower than your passive skills (reading and listening)
Here are the Details
- 4 short stories (text & audios)
- Max 12 participants
- Cosy Telegram group where you can ask questions and communicate with the other participants.
- Each week ends with a “bigger” speaking task. In week 1+3, you will record yourself, send me the file via Telegram and will get detailed and personal feedback. In week 2+4, you will have a voice chat conversation with me (also asynchronously, total length about 20 minutes).
- Each participant will have their own Google Doc for the writing tasks (one task per week)
- Materials and assignments will be sent to you each Monday for the complete week.
- All materials can be downloaded and are for you to keep.
- Continuous support and guidance, you will study independently but not alone.
Some Words about me
I’m Daniela and I started to write short stories and graded readers for beginner and intermediate students of German in 2021. Being an enthusiastic language learner myself, I love to create materials that I would like to use myself, a mix of interesting content and grammar in context. I also believe in a combination of independent learning and feedback from a teacher plus interaction with other. This is what I’m offering you.
