Annotation -
In this course, practical exercises will be conducted that address various morphological and lexical phenomena related to fundamental topics of German grammar. Each unit begins with a brief theoretical introduction by the course instructor, followed by presentations from the students. The theoretical knowledge is then applied and reinforced through exercises. The focus is on non-verbal parts of speech. The course schedule is flexible and can be adjusted according to the needs of the group.

Aim of the course -

The subject aims to unify the practical language skills of newly admitted applicants, which are very different. At the same time, it enables first-year students to meet regularly and systematically practice practically oriented German, thus creating a transition between the purely competence-oriented teaching of German at secondary school and between philological German taught at university.
