From beginner ...
You will learn about different word types, sentence elements and structures (e.g. cases) and how to put them all together to formulate coherent sentences in German as well as questions and answers in dialogue.
... to advanced.
Your writing and speaking abilities will be expanded by using more complex structures and elements that add to the precision of your statements. This will also add more nuance to your language.
Exercises
At the end of most lectures, there will be an opportunity to practice what you have learned. This is to make sure that you have understood the principles of the structures taught, and that you can use them in context.
