Everything will take place in the SPEAK GERMAN WITH EASE AND CONFIDENCE Facebook Group. AND for those who do not use Facebook there is a WhatsApp group which will have the same communication.

All the training will be stored in the GUIDES and all the calls will take place via Zoom and streamed LIVE into the group.

Interaction on the posts in the group will allow you to get actively involved and your comments corrected if needed.

The WORD OF THE DAY will be dropped into the group each morning with sample sentences. There will be one word for the beginner levels and another word for intermediate and advanced levels.

The online speaking groups will take place via Zoom and will be either streamed or uploaded into the Facebook group. Anyone will be able to join a group at their own ability.

Each month will concentrate on a certain part of grammar for different levels of German which will be broken down into weekly learning and you will have the chance to participate through commenting.

WHY ME?

Hi, I’m Claudia Dickson and I am a native German tutor and language specialist. I have been helping professionals for the past 32 years to perfect their German and to speak German with ease and confidence.

My passion is all about helping people to speak German like a native effortlessly to build stronger relationships with their German contacts and to make sure that their language skills can help them to better their careers.

I have been working online for quite a few years and have developed a system of how to help people best with their German and to progress successfully. Many of my clients have moved to Germany and have taken up careers there, whereas others are working closely with their German partners.

Being able to control a conversation is often the key to business success and that's why I created what is called Speaker's Corner - my online speaking groups - for the past 5 years now I have been successfully giving people support to gain confidence in their German speaking.

With my teaching experience, I believe I have an edge that I can pass on to anyone. And I love seeing people succeed in German by overcoming their objections and struggles. I created this membership to give people a good foundation in German so that we can then build on it together.

In my membership I will help you learn to speak German with ease and confidence.

How do I cancel my account?

Just send us an email and we will stop the next payment coming out of your account, but we do not refund previous months. You need to give us 48 hours’ notice to carry out this admin task.

When does Speaker's Corner take place?

Speaker’s Corner will take place on a Saturday either at 12 pm or at 2 pm and on Tuesdays either at 9 am or 7 pm. There is a set timetable in the group for each speaking opportunity and each Speaker’s Corner will take 60 minutes. I am open to more time suggestions.

What happens if I can’t make a training call?

All training calls will be live-streamed into the Facebook group or recorded and uploaded to it. If you can’t make a call you can watch the replay very easily and hopefully you can make the next one.

Will Speaker's Corner be recorded?

Speaker's Corner will not be recorded as not everyone feels comfortable about that. As I don't like to interrupt the flow of speaking, corrections and suggestions are written in the chat and later posted in the group and on WhatsApp.

When do we receive the training?

Training will take place once a month on a Monday morning. The training is going to be streamed into the group and stored in Guides in the group. This allows you to access them anytime and as often as you would like.

What if I have a question?

You can ask a question anytime in the group. If there is a quick answer I will get to it as soon as possible. If the answer needs to be more in depth then I will include it in a training session as there will be more people who may have the same question. There is a pinned post in the group to put your questions in.

Will the group be only in German?

As everyone is learning German and may not be at the level of understanding explanations, I will be giving the training in German and English to allow for a wider audience an to  help you learn German in the process.

The posts in the group are written in German though there is a translation at the bottom of most of them.

The words of the day are given in German with German example sentences but with an English translation.

You can always use the built-in translation feature on Facebook too if you require a different language.

For which level of German is this group?

This group is for ALL levels of German from A1-C2 which is reflected in monthly topics, daily posts, vocabulary and weekly training.

The topics per month will be for all levels and include material for the beginner levels A1/A2, the intermediate levels A1/B2 and the advanced levels C1/C2 of German.

As all the material is saved and organised in the group you will be able to access all the material as you are moving through the levels of German.
