Level A2.1 - A2.2
The Talkademy Learning Commitment
At Talkademy, progress comes from active participation. Our courses are built around interaction, practice and real communication — not passive listening. You will be expected to complete assignments, take part in role plays and actively use German from day one. Your commitment is the key to turning knowledge into confidence.
Your Time on Deck
No Seafarer sets sail without knowing the charted route and a realistic timeframe for the voyage. At Talkademy, you have the choice between an accelerated and more intensive journey and a steady voyage at average speed.
Choose the pace that best fits your crew'a goals:
Regular Course: 12 weeks of guided training, giving you enough time to build confidence, practise new skills and integrate German into your and your course-mates daily life.
The Regular Course consists of two 90 minute sessions per week (four 45-minute units) and 3-4 hours of homework /week.
Intensive Course: 8 weeks of focused learning for those who want to accelerate their progress and reach their goals faster.
The Intensive Course consists of three 90-minute sessions per week (six 45-minute units) and 4-6 hours of homework/week.
Whichever course you choose, however, your Seafarer journey will combine live lessons, practical exercises and active communication, helping you move from understanding basic German to using everyday German with growing confidence and command of essential German vocabulary and grammar.
Your Essentials for the Voyage
As with any well-prepared sea voyage, you’ll need a few essential tools and resources.
Our live sessions take place via Google Meet, allowing you to interact face-to-face, practise your German in real time and join your crew from the comfort of your home or office.
Your Course Toolkit:
- A reliable internet connection for our live lessons via Google Meet
- A computer, laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone for active participation
- WhatsApp for quick communication, updates and course coordination, (a WhatsApp group will be set up at the start of the course)
- Google Classroom as your digital learning hub for materials, assignments and additional exercises, (crew members receive the link and course code at the start of the course)
- Your course books — carefully selected resources that support and complement your learning journey, (crew-members purchase their own copies).
But most importantly, bring your curiosity, commitment and willingness to actively participate. At Talkademy, you are not a passenger; you are an essential member of the crew.
Your Deposit for a Rewarding Haul
Our Crew Courses are designed as small, high-impact programmes.
The size of your crew directly shapes the learning dynamic as well as the extent of your investment.
Smaller crews allow for more speaking time, more direct feedback, and faster individual progress.
Larger crews create more interaction, perspective, and shared momentum.
To give you flexibility, the investment adjusts depending on the final group size.
- All crews have a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 participants.
- All crews will enjoy a clearly structured programme with measurable progress.
- All crews will benefit from the same high standard — regardless of crew size.
