This course is for students who have some previous knowledge of German or those who have done the German Beginners Course. It is taught online. You will need a computer, laptop or tablet and an internet connection.

The course is for anyone interested in continuing to learn German for holiday, work or leisure. The terms run consecutively, so if you wish to join the course in the second or third term, some previous knowledge of some of the areas taught in the preceding term/terms would be an advantage. If you are unsure if the course will be suitable for you, please get in touch with the York Learning team and we will put you in contact with the tutor.
