With this online-training course, you can
practice your German at a time and place to suit you. Whether you
are looking to preserve, refresh or expand your German, our flexible
online-training gives you the chance to achieve your own learning
objectives.
The course was originally conceived for language
students who had already attended courses at the Language Institute
TREFFPUNKT Language Institute in Bamberg. These students frequently
wanted to continue learning after they had returned at home, often
with the same teacher and course material. The course has been such
a success that we now decided to make it more widely available.
When designing your course, we take your
personal and career background, your current knowledge and any
specific wishes you may have into consideration. In our experience,
the key factors are:
Your motivation for learning the language
How much you wish to invest in your course
(We mean time just as much as money)
There is no doubt that for intensive learning
you cannot beat a German
course in Germany or a full time or one-to-one course with a
teacher near you at home. However if this is not practical for you
and you would like to have flexible one-to-one lessons with an
experienced teacher, we can recommend Lessons-by-Skype*, which is about as close to
one-to-one teaching at home as it gets. All you need is a broadband
Internet connection (e.g. ADSL or Cable) and a headset. You can also
add a webcam if you wish, although sometimes it is better not to
have it on to allow you to practice your listening and telephone
skills more intensively. Would you like more details?
What will be the costs of the course and how can I
start?
Because it is a new type of language training
many students decide first for a "starter package" of € 50 . This
includes 2 lessons (2x 45 minutes) online tuition va Skype with a
private teacher.
If you have any further
questions please send us an email
or call us on +49 951 204404
* You can download the Skype program free from
http://www.skype.com/. Of course, if you only wish
to improve your oral skills, then we can also arrange telephone
lessons, and for those who wish to concentrate on their written
language skills, we can offer email-based online learning. Any of
these forms can be combined with each other or with our German courses in
Germany.
About the language institute TREFFPUNKT
TREFFPUNKT Language
Institute was founded by Alexandra von Rohr in Bamberg in 1995. It
quickly developed into a recognized centre of language training for
German as a foreign language.
Our online offer was originally developed for
students at TREFFPUNKT Language
Institute who wished to continue their language training after
returning home, having completed their onsite course, often with the
same teacher and the same course material.
This course met with such universal approval and
success that in June 2008 we decided to make this method of learning
available to everyone.
As a result we now offer new clients the chance to
learn German with us online. Enjoy a new and attractive German
program! Independent of time or location!
