Course levels

Beginners should enrol in Level 1A. Each subsequent semester you may then select the next level, i.e. 1A - 1B - 2A - 2B - 3A - 3B - Conversation. The following descriptions should help you find the course level that is right for you.

•  
  • Levels 1A and 1B - The focus is on learning spoken and written language for everyday use. Aspects of target language culture and etiquette are covered. Level 1A has no prerequisite; for Level 1B you need to have 30 hours of previous language study.
  • Levels 2A and 2B - Level 2A courses are for people who have at least 60 hours of previous language study. You will further develop your ability to communicate in the target language and increase your knowledge of culture and etiquette. Level 2B offers the continuation of these courses; 90 hours of previous language study are required.
  • Levels 3A and 3B - Level 3A courses are for people who have at least 120 hours of previous language study. They will help you develop fluency and accuracy in the target language. You will revise and increase your knowledge of grammar as well as gaining greater confidence in using the language. Level 3B offers the continuation of these courses.
  • Conversation - The courses are designed for people with good command of the target language who are willing to participate in discussions held entirely in that language. Courses will offer a supportive environment for maintaining, renewing and extending target language knowledge.
