German Courses
Due to current government regulations, we have moved all our courses online for the entire semester. These courses follow the usual format with a teacher and classmates, but you will access your classroom via Zoom instead of meeting in person.Maybe this gives you the opportunity to take part in a course you otherwise wouldn't, because London is just too far away?
