English for holidays/vacations

We all know how helpful it can be when travelling to know some of the basics of the English language. Often just speaking a few words helps to break the ice and connect with people. At the hotel, we might want to ask for more "bath towels / serviettes de bain" ... but if we don't know the word for towels, it could lead to misunderstandings. In this course we will discuss some of the authentic things that might happen when travelling abroad; we learn the most important vocabulary; we do a little role play to practise what we have learned; and all this in a relaxed atmosphere. "Excuse me, I need some new bath towels."

English - Let's Talk: Refresher course with focus on oral communication

You already have some knowledge of the English language ... but haven't used it for such a long time. Do you feel like you've forgotten a lot? In this course, we want to go back to the basics and to brush up your knowledge. We will concentrate mainly on speaking, listening and understanding. Depending on how much you value perfectionism (the written language and grammar) we will also take this into account. (Of course we can also speak a little German to help you on your journey). In a relaxed and slow way, let's also talk, talk, talk ... until we feel confident enough to move on to other (more important) things. We will have a lot of fun looking at the essentials of what it takes to speak and understand English.
This is really 'learning by doing'!

English and the importance of Small Talk

Learning to engage in conversation with someone - in a relaxed, sincere and friendly way - or small-talking is crucial when learning English.
This course offers you the opportunity to "brush up" on your English communication skills. What is the importance of small talk in business and private life? Which topics are appropriate and which are not? Why you should strive to ask "open questions", etc. How do I show sincere interest in my conversational partner?
Small talk is important and should not be neglected due to a lack of language skills or linguistic insecurity.
