Topic areas:

Main Grammar Points:
· Present tense of verbs, regular and irregular
· The imperative; the negative;
· The definite/indefinite article
· Possessive adjectives; capitalisation.
· The accusative case; modal verbs; separable verbs
· Demonstratives; the indefinite pronoun.
By the end of the course you should be able to communicate with a native German speaker who asked you the following questions:
· Wo wohnen Sie ?
· Sind sie verheiratet ?
· Haben Sie Kinder
· Haben Sie einen Fernseher ?
· Was sind Sie von Beruf ?
· Hören Sie gern Musik ?
In trying to choose the correct level, you may have to balance what you know of the language (grammar, vocabulary etc) with your ability to speak it, since, depending on your personal history of learning the language, you may be stronger in one area than the other.
