Guten Morgen!

This Thursday late morning class from 11 - 12.30 CDT is an A1 German class for Germanophiles, Swissophiles, Austrophiles, book lovers, (over)thinkers, word collectors, geeks, knowledge seekers, and (recovering) perfectionists.

Who is this A1 class right for?

The Schedule:

This class runs in trimesters on Thursday mornings from 11 am to 12.30 pm Central time. (That's 7 am in Hawaii, 9 am in California, 10 am in Wyoming, 11 am in Chicago, 12 noon in New York, 5 pm in London, and 6 pm in Berlin.)

For this trimester we'll meet on (subject to small changes):

• 18. September
• 25. September
• 2. Oktober
• 9. Oktober
• 16. Oktober
• 23. Oktober
• (Am 30. Oktober haben wir eine Pause.)
• 6. November
• 13. November
• 20. November
• (Am 27. November haben wir eine Pause.)
• 4. Dezember
• 11. Dezember

Der Adventskalender 2025 ist im Unterricht enthalten. ~  The 2025 Advent Calendar is included in your tuition.

When you register for this term, you will automatically receive electronic calendar events via email. Future trimester dates will be made available as we progress through the year. Your tuition carries over until the beginning of the next trimester, so you have continuous access to all the online video courses.

What to Expect:

Live, online classes with Frau Warner via Brave Talk (video meeting software you can use in your browser). We interact and converse, and we use our highly interactive whiteboard. Each week, you can download and keep the whiteboards and they will also be stored in the Klassenbuch (Class Log) so you can refer back to them at any time. New clients are able to access all whiteboards from previous terms (that's all of the A1 class sessions prior to this one!).

We work through 1-2 chapters per trimester, so it's enough to be a good challenge without overwhelming you. We speak as much German as possible in-class, and dialect is welcome.

The core video courses are included in your tuition and are available to you as soon as your tuition payment has been made. You can take the "German Vocabulary Masterclass" and excel at learning vocabulary, "Lernen lernen," which will help you deconstruct your perfectionism in terms of learning German, and "How to Pronounce German."

Who else is in this class?

Your fellow German learners are Germanophiles, Austrophiles, and Swissophiles, perfectionists, geeks, bookworms, and thinkers from different careers and walks of life. Some learn German as a hobby, while others travel in, live in, or want to work in a German-speaking country. Everyone is interested in the same thing: speaking German.

We work through 1-2 chapters per trimester, so it's enough to be a good challenge without overwhelming you. We speak as much German as possible in-class, and we do bring in some dialects.

Which materials will we use?

We will use a combination of these:

1. Really German Books: We use German language learning books from Germany. (Books are not included in your tuition.)
   1. studio 21 A1 Kurs- und Übungsbuch mit DVD-ROM ISBN 9783065205269
   2. studio 21 A1 Intensivtraining mit Hörtexten ISBN 9783065205702
   3. studio 21 A1 Glossary German - English ISBN 9783065205597
2. Materials made by Frau Warner.
3. Real-life materials from German-language websites, brochures, and advertisements, too.
4. There are NO grades, no tests (except for proficiency test prep), and no finals. (I promise.)

How much homework will I have each week?

You'll find out real quick that you have a somewhat flexible amount of homework each week. Some of it is required and some of it is optional--think "low, medium, high." That way you can adjust when life gets stressful, as well as when things are calm.

So who are you, Frau Warner?

Hallo, ich heiße Warner, Nicole Warner!

I first learned German when I was in my early 20’s. I had tried taking German in college and it was a DISASTER. I was constantly worried about the grade, the book we used was ridiculously confusing, and my teacher just couldn’t explain the concepts clearly.

Then in 2003 I moved to Germany and took a different kind of German course, one without a final grade, with books for learning German (not textbooks). I learned to speak German so well that when I speak German with native speakers, they think that I'm German. I'm not, although I do love a good bike commute. I now speak German at a near-native level and I've received the Zertifikat C2, the highest level of German speaking certification available. I’ve been teaching German in-person and online since 2010. I’m also certified to teach German as a Foreign Language and I teach it the way I was taught to speak it.
