Class Experience
Participants work with their classmates and the instructor during class in an immersion setting towards an advanced listening, speaking, reading, and writing ability; all class activities are conducted in German. The C1-level courses are for those who are looking to learn German in a formal setting. This class covers selected chapters from Vielfalt C1 and is for students working towards C1 proficiency in German in a formal setting.
Those who fully participate in C1 for multiple sessions, typically over the span of 4 - 8 semesters, will ideally be prepared for the C1 Goethe Exam, recognized globally as proof of German language ability.
