Would you like to learn German in the company of others? Learning the language with others is great fun and in addition to the teacher, you are also learning from each other. We deliberately keep German classes small (up to 12 students), so you get the chance to get to know each other.
All German classes can be joined at any time, please get in touch to confirm your level.
We currently offer face-to-face classes in Whitley Bay and online German classes, please click the link below for more information.
ALL ONLINE and IN-PERSON CLASSES use Willkommen! German 1 by Paul Coggle & Heiner Schenke as the course book and activity book apart from the Intermediate/Advanced Group which uses Willkommen! German 2 by Paul Coggle & Heiner Schenke as their course and activity book. These are excellent books for adult learners, comprehensive but easy to follow, emphasizing German culture.
The following content applies to ALL classes
- Teaching and practice of German phonics (German sounds and pronunciation)
- Explanation and frequent revision of grammar
- Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing opportunities
- Use of audio recordings, authentic German video material, teacher-made resources, and games
- Information on German customs, traditions, and festivals
You are never too old to learn a language and as a pensioner with Austrian roots who never learned the language as a child I started having lessons with the German Teacher recently. And what a teacher! I have learned really quickly and we have such fun discussing the details of life in Germany and Austria. Susanne even makes the grammar clear and manageable.
All my lessons are online and Susanne is expert at using the technology so if anyone is hesitating about tackling German in this way I can highly recommend!Lalage
