Level B2.1 - B2.2
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 Board
Every successful voyage needs a clear route and a realistic timeframe. At Talkademy, our courses are designed to create steady progress through structured learning, regular practice and continuous interaction.
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 route you choose, however, your journey as a Navigator will combine live lessons, practical exercises and active communication to provide your team with the instruments they need to converse freely and naturally in German, both in everyday conversations and at work.
Your Essential Instruments
Your journey as a Navigator wouldn't be possible without a few essential instruments and resources that are usually already familiar to the seasoned Navigator.
Talkademy live sessions take place via Google Meet, allowing you to interact face-to-face, practise your German in real time and stay connected with your crew.
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).
The most important resources of a successful Navigator, however, are curiosity, commitment and the willingness to actively participate in exercises. Studying at Talkademy means to step out of your 'comfort zone' and to challenge yourself to truly master German.
Your Contribution to the Expedition
Talkademy 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.
The Navigator's Pay-Off
After this course you will be able to:
- communicate fluently in demanding business situations
- present ideas and arguments clearly and convincingly
- understand complex conversations and authentic media
- interact confidently with colleagues and clients
- express yourself naturally without constantly translating
