RESIDENTIAL GERMAN LANGUAGE COURSES

German books buy online

A week's course takes place over 6 days, leaving the intervening Sundays for arrival and departure. Transport can be arranged from Blaenau Ffestiniog for anyone arriving by train. Beginners only are accepted at present. No group courses are currently arranged. If, however, two or three people who know they are at the same level [beginners] wish to come together, then group prices will apply.

Individual courses may be arranged to suit you for any week or longer that is not previously booked.

 All full courses consist of 24 hours intensive tuition [one to one in the case of individual courses] over 6 days. Tuition is usually in the morning. Written work to back up the morning's lesson is set for the afternoon, but I recommend taking time off as well, as the brain can become numb otherwise. This is very beautiful country for walking or just for looking and talking to the ducks etc. Cassettes and players are available for individual use, and there will be German films on video [with subtitles!] on some evenings. Weekend courses will be arranged in 2005 if there is any demand.

With crash courses it is essential to carry on with at least a small amount of the language every day for some time after you finish. Otherwise one can lose a large part almost as quickly as you acquired it. I know German courses may not be available everywhere, but you may carry on by post if you wish. The important thing is to stay tuned in to the language.
