The German language, Deutsch, is a West Germanic language mainly spoken in Central Europe. It is the most widely spoken and official or co-official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the Italian province of South Tyrol. It is also a co-official language of Luxembourg, Belgium and parts of southwestern Poland, as well as a national language in Namibia. German is the second most widely spoken Germanic language after English. The language has been influential in the fields of science and technology, where it is the second most commonly used scientific language and among the most widely used languages on websites. The majority of its vocabulary derives from the ancient Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family, while a smaller share is partly derived from Latin and Greek, along with fewer words borrowed from French and Modern English.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is an international standard for describing language ability. It describes language ability on a six-point scale, from A1 for beginners, up to C2 for those who have mastered a language. This allows anyone involved in language teaching and testing, such as teachers or students, to quickly determine the level of various qualifications. It also means that employers and educational institutions will be able to easily compare our credentials to those of other exams in their country.

1.Greetings & other Useful phrases 

That will help you speak with a German speaker, whether you’re speaking with someone face-to-face, through Skype, or over the phone, greetings are an essential part of getting your German conversation started. It will also teach you the nitty-gritty of the local language. As an example, German speakers don’t always say “hello” and “how are you?”. You will be educated on many other German greetings expressions, also called useful phrases, to say slightly different things. You can use such expressions to sound more natural, and express yourself more clearly and precisely, even at the beginner English level. Learners will be able to hold a “Small talk”- a polite exchange used to pass the time, share non-essential information, or learn more about the other person. It’s also a great form of German conversation practice, that would incorporate communication that can span a wide range of topics, from weather to sleep habits. Common phrases you will learn with Multibhashi.

2. Vocabulary

Multibhashi would also help you build your vocabulary by directing attention to commonly used verbs, nouns, adjectives, synonyms, antonyms and more. This empowers a learner to be able to frame simple intelligible, understandable sentences that can convey thoughts and emotions. Multibhashi believes that building vocabulary is key to fluency. Thus, you will be guided to select accurate, specific verbs to get your ideas across. The more verbs you know, the more ideas you can communicate.

3. As a learner, Multibhashi would introduce  you to a few basic but critical concepts of German grammar to frame better such as:

Basic nouns – It’s important to know the nouns and adjectives to be able to describe and identify things. Thus Multibhashi will help you see the words in context that will significantly improve your learning. You will be introduced to grammar rules, gender, plurals, case system and declining property of nouns.  

Basic adjectives – You will be taught rules such as, German adjectives come before the noun, are generally inflected, and take an ending that depends on the gender and case of the noun phrase and many more rules to get proficient in German. You would start with basic nouns and adjectives that describe things you encounter regularly such as objects, pets, stationery, vehicles, food items etc. 

Verbs, Verb conjugations, Tenses and Tense conjugations- Multibhashi students stand to gain apt knowledge of German verbs of both verb systems: the weaker verbs, with a dental consonant inflection, and the strong verbs, showing a vowel gradation (ablaut). You will read that while most textbooks classify all strong verbs as irregular, the only completely irregular verb in the language is sein (to be)! You would learn rules, verb conjugations and conjugations in the context of past tense. You would study the citation form of the German verbs as the infinitive form, which generally consists of the bare form of the verb with -(e)n added to the end. 

Eventually, you will be able to put together simple sentences and speak– a dream each learner has when they start learning! Simpler sentences encourage and motivate a learner to build their first conversation. As a learner you will take a cue to make simple sentences using the gathered vocabulary, previously learnt sessions, teachers’ guidance, and present tense conjugations. The sentences may not be perfect, to begin with, but it’s a great step towards fluency. Multibhashi would also offer you a Course Completion Certification after successful completion of the program.  

Multibhashi uses an approach that will help you grasp the language quickly and be able to use it in your day-to-day situations in just a few days after you start taking the sessions. At the end of the course, Multibhashi will provide you with a checklist and you can evaluate yourself on all the parameters and see where you stand. Multibhashi will also provide you with a course completion certificate. Multibhashi offers one on one and group classes to interested students of the German language.
