Generalist German pt. 1

 This course is for all students at SDU who wish to improve their ability to speak and understand German. Do you dream of a career in a German-speaking country or with an international company/organisation with links to the German market? In this course you will be introduced to and taught oral German as well as cultural and social issues. 

Practical information about the course

In the course, you will get a broad introduction to German culture and society, and above all, you will have the opportunity to work with the language and further develop your language skills. You will work with topics in German culture, society, politics and history. Along the way, you will practice practical skills such as pronunciation, vocabulary, listening comprehension and free conversation. At the same time, the course is flexible in its content, so participants have the opportunity to make their own mark on the topics we work with.

The course lasts one semester and begins with a start-up seminar on Saturday, February 3 from 10-16 in Odense. After that, there will be ongoing classes once a week until week 17 (however, there will be no classes in week 7 and 13). A two-day excursion to Flensburg will be organized as part of the course. The excursion is scheduled to take place on 6-7 April, 2024. You will receive more information about this during the course.
