German Level 7

Course Description

Level 7 Classes: This course will suit people who have recently completed Level 6, or have similar experience.    In this class, current events are discussed regularly, and you will have the opportunity to give a voluntary presentation on a topic of your choice in front of the class. This is not compulsory. 

The aim in Level 7 is that you gain confidence in communicating more independently about a variety of topics while making use of grammar points outlined below. 

In Level 7, we work at the B1 level of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages*).
