What are „Online Live Classes“? What will I be doing there?

In short: Our online live lessons are like "normal" lessons, they only do not take place in a physical classroom, but in an online classroom via Zoom. As in normal classes, lessons are carried out by a professional and exam-certified teachers. You are going to use a course book and a workbook and learn together with other German learners. You will be working in various social forms: in plenary, individually, in a group etc. You train all skills, do your homework and receive feedback on your learning progress from the teacher. To make the most out of your Online Live Classes, please follow the recommendations below: A computer is the best option! For the best experience, we highly recommend you use a computer – Desktop or Laptop – to attend our online classes. Using a tablet is also possible. However, the screen is quite small and typing on it is not convenient. The faster, the better. Always connect your device to high-speed internet with at least 10 Mbps. I deally use a headset with a microphone. Any brand and model will do. You can also use a headset of your smartphone. So, you can hear everyone clearly and vice versa. In many cases, sound from a speaker is not as good as from a headset. Be always ready to turn on your webcam. Check its position before class and sit in a well-lit place. It helps you look better. Find a quiet place. Noise from your surroundings will disturb you and your classmates. Eliminate any possible disturbance. Set your mobile phone to silent and attend the class alone. It helps you concentrate on the lesson much better. Place everything you need by your side. Be it course book, workbook, notebook and stationery, so that you will not have to be away during class and miss anything.

Do I have to be very familiar with computers or smartphones?

No, it is enough if you can use your computer, tablet or smartphone normally, e.g. open documents, type words on the keyboard or click icons. We take care of the technology in the background so you can fully concentrate on learning German. And should you ever have technical problems, please contact us. We are happy to help!

What technology do I need to have?

All you need is a modern browser: we recommend Google Chrome for Windows and Android devices and Safari for Apple devices. We use Zoom for our classes because it best supports our diverse teaching methods while ensuring your privacy. Before the course begins, you will receive a link from us that you can simply click or copy to your browser. For the best experience we recommend a headset with a microphone and a webcam.

Can I take part in the course with a smartphone or tablet?

Yes, you can participate normally in class with a tablet or a smartphone, communicate with your fellow students, use the whiteboard, upload assignments, do your homework and more. However we recommend using a laptop or PC since the screen is larger and typing on a keyboard is easier.

Where can I buy the coursebook and workbook?

You can purchase your books e.g. in the book store "Buchladen". Please order your books in good time so that you have it at the beginning of the course. Tel.: 02-679-7520, 02-679-7661 Line ID: Der_Buchladen_Bkk SMS: 098-8264484 E-mail: sales@buchladenbkk.com
