Course objectives
The course is for full-time students who did not study German at secondary school, did not come across with German at all or just marginally. It is also suitable for the so-called „false beginners“. The aim of this course is to get students acquainted with basic phenomena of German grammar and spelling, provide them with essential vocabulary focussed on communication and thus create conditions for future active and passive knowledge of German and possibility of working with a newspaper text. Because of this, students are going to be gradually introduced to issues and German terminology of mass media.
