Take your German to the next level in our conversation course for advanced learners (B1 level or higher). Expand your vocabulary and refine your oral grammar and syntax through dynamic discussions on a wide range of topics—from everyday situations to thought-provoking philosophical questions. This course offers a supportive and stimulating environment to boost your fluency and confidence in speaking and is perfect for those who want to fine-tune their language skills in real-life contexts.

Each lesson begins with a resource provided by the tutor, such as a text, quote, or video, which we will explore together. This serves as the foundation for the session. We start with a simple conversation about the material at hand, allowing students to engage with the content in a practical, accessible way. As the lesson progresses, we gradually move towards more abstract questions and deeper discussions that challenge students to think critically and engage in high-order thinking.
