Course overview
Communication Workshop is an optional add-on to your General German course, and it's one you'll want to choose. It gives you the language and skills to handle real, everyday situations in German with confidence. You'll develop your social communication skills and also learn how to manage more formal conversations. Intercultural communication is at the heart of the course, so you'll learn to talk confidently with people from many different backgrounds.
The course is organised around practical weekly themes. Each week is modular, and Friday lessons give you the chance to show what you've learned across the week. As well as communication skills, you'll develop study strategies that will help you keep improving your German after your time with English Path.
Example lessons: Socialising & making connections / Making plans / Navigating problems / Making appointments / Discussing interests / Talking about hobbies / Designing travel plans
