Learn German A2 For Free in Second Life

Submitted by admin on Thu, 04/22/2010 - 09:58.
So now that I am safely a German A2 student, I was wondering what I was going to do with myself now that I have to leave my Goethe-Institut Berlin Intensiv-8 course. Well, I have been digging through the Goethe.de site for content for an SMNR that we're building and I came upon this awesome resource and a serious motivator for dusting off my Apple lappie and logging in to Second Life, "In the weekly German course on the Goethe Island in Second Life you can improve your written German in a small group led by an experienced German teacher." Are there any restrictions? Well, "Previous knowledge of German to Level A2 is required." Perfect! I am right there!
“Second Life” is a three-dimensional online platform where members of the community communicate with each other using the keyboard or microphone and earphones (see technical requirements). Our package for German learners in Second Life incorporates a weekly German course and a daily get-together for learning German – both are free of charge.

Free weekly German course (Level A2)

In the weekly German course on the Goethe Island in Second Life you can improve your written German in a small group led by an experienced German teacher.

Daily get-together for learning German

// //-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // ]]>The get-together for learning German is a conversation using a microphone and earphones, in which our experienced tutors practise speaking German with participants. Every day there is a new topic that is discussed in a small group.

Language requirements

You should already be able to speak a little German, so that you can hold a conversation about simple everyday themes (at least Level A2). Information about the course levels
