Program Description

The intensive German A2 course is designed for students who already hold a basic knowledge of German and want to immerse themselves in the German language in a short, compact, and intensive period.

The course aims to conclude with the language level A2 by providing a multimodal, communicative, and interactive language course based on standardized methodological and didactic principles. In addition to the course, participants can receive tutoring from the instructor upon request and depending on their needs, as well as the opportunity to strengthen their communication skills through the weekly communication course "German Talks" - a successful format of the Alfaisal German Club.
