Intermediate mid levels (IM)

Intermediate Mid 1

Students in this class have taken the Intermediate Low 2 course with LALIA or have reached a comparable level of speaking by other methods. Some of them have completed courses in the B1 levels of the CEFR. Speakers at this level can successfully handle a variety of uncomplicated communicative tasks in straightforward social situations. Conversation is generally limited to personal information, interests and personal preferences, as well as physical and social needs. Intermediate Mid speakers tend to function reactively, but they can also obtain simple information to satisfy basic needs, such as directions, prices and services. In spite of the limitations in their vocabulary and/or pronunciation and/or grammar and/or syntax, Intermediate Mid speakers are generally understood by sympathetic interlocutors accustomed to dealing with non-native speakers. This is an online course.

Intermediate Mid 2

This is the second month in the level of Intermediate Mid (See above: Intermediate Mid 1). In this course, learners will gain confidence and competence in their interactions during realistic German language encounters by increasing their word-power, and acquiring new or revising grammatical patterns. Learners in this class have been exposed to most high-frequency structural patterns in German with LALIA or by other methods, for example courses at the B2 level. This is an online course.

Intermediate Mid 3

The Intermediate level sometimes feels like a plateau, and in this third month you will gradually be pulling yourself out of there.

This is an online course.
