Reviews summary

Professional german for workplace

According to learners, this course is a highly practical and relevant follow-up to Post-Beginners 1, particularly for those aiming to use German in a professional or corporate environment. Many found the vocabulary on economics, jobs, and career development to be incredibly useful and directly applicable, helping them feel more confident in business conversations. However, some students noted that the course assumes a significant level of prior German knowledge, finding the pace too fast and grammar explanations insufficient. A few also wished for more interactive elements and speaking practice opportunities to internalize the material effectively.

Seamlessly continues from Post-Beginners 1.

"A solid follow-up to Post-Beginners 1."

Highly practical for business German use.

"Excellent course! The content is highly practical and directly applicable to professional settings. I appreciated the structured approach to vocabulary related to the German economy and career development."

"I found the focus on specific industry terms and nuances of workplace communication in German to be a major plus."

Needs more interactive elements for language application.

"I felt it lacked sufficient speaking practice opportunities. While the vocabulary is good for 'Deutsch am Arbeitsplatz', I struggled to internalize it without more interactive elements."

"The course is okay, but I expected more interaction or opportunities to practice speaking. It's very much a read-and-listen format."

"I wished for more diverse learning activities to complement the vocabulary."

May be too advanced for some 'post-beginners'.

"I was a bit disappointed. While the topics are relevant, the course assumes a very specific level of German that might not align with all 'post-beginners'."

"This course was not for me. The pace was too fast and the grammar explanations were almost non-existent. It seems to cater to those who already have a strong intermediate grasp of German..."

"I found myself constantly needing external resources to understand some of the grammar or more complex sentences."
