We've all travelled abroad with the best of intentions when it comes to speaking the language, only to falter when it comes to the crunch. This quick and constructive course gives you the German you need to talk to the locals - and crucially, the confidence to put it into practice. As well as providing essential vocabulary and phrases, the course also aims to improve your understanding of spoken German, so that you can feel sure of yourself in two-way conversations. Based on the ten situations you are most likely to encounter while abroad, the course builds your knowledge and understanding gradually.
