Language training Augsburg

When we embark on creating a language training for a group, we cooperate closely with our partners in order to make their travel wishes and ideas a reality. We take requests of destinations, learning material, course length and preferred free time activities into consideration and do everything to integrate them in the final itinerary.

One of the many language trainings we had the pleasure of running led the group to Augsburg. From their travel itinerary you may draw inspiration for your own language travel programme. We are happy to assist.

Language course

The participants of this particular language training were curious about European politics and culture. Therefore, ASTUR arranged an itinerary - in close cooperation with the responsible teachers - with the following language classes:

Week 1:

  • Preparation - language placement test
  • Lesson 1 - Grammar & current events in Germany
  • Lesson 2 - Tenses & EU institutions
  • Lesson 3 - EU history & current events
  • Lesson 4 - Modal verbs & syntax
  • Lesson 5 - German idioms & German press

Week 2:

  • Progress evaluation - language placement test
  • Lesson 6 - Current events in Germany & Europe
  • Lesson 7 - Current debates in German and EU parliaments
  • Lesson 8 - Listening comprehension & politic speeches
  • Lesson 9 - Text production & translation
  • Lesson 10 - writing speeches, final test

In class you are encouraged to just talk and not be afraid of your mistakes. Seize this opportunity as speaking the language freely will boost your learning success and motivate you to continue mastering the language in the future.

 

Free time activities & excursions

After the language course had been held for the day, this group headed into the city or the surrounding area for free time activities. The itinerary comprised at tour of the world's oldest social housing project called Fuggerei as well as a tour of an Augsburg hotel. Furthermore, the group visit Augsburg zoo, MAN Museum and the Museum of Jewish Culture. When booking language trainings of 2 weeks or more, one day trip is included in the itinerary by default, taking place on the weekend.
