What Advanced (C1+) German means
At C1+ German, learners can express complex ideas precisely, understand nuance and adapt their language to different contexts.
Qualify an argument
So überzeugend die Argumentation im Großen und Ganzen auch ist, lässt sie mehrere unbeabsichtigte Folgen außer Acht.
While the argument is broadly convincing, it overlooks several unintended consequences.
Convey nuance
Ich lehne den Vorschlag an sich nicht ab, sondern stelle seine übereilte Umsetzung infrage.
I do not oppose the proposal itself; what I question is the rushed way it is being implemented.
Adapt your register
Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn Sie die Entscheidung angesichts der beigefügten zusätzlichen Informationen überdenken würden.
I would be grateful if you would reconsider the decision in light of the additional information attached.
These are general examples of language use at this level, not a description of any individual course syllabus.
About this course
The course develops German communication through discussion of culture, current affairs and everyday life. Learners work across speaking, listening, reading and writing, while revising and using more complex grammar in oral and written contexts. Teaching centres on spoken interaction, with pair and group work, role plays, games, presentations, hand-outs and audio-visual resources. Topics are varied, with some additional subjects agreed with the tutor. Learners may also work with texts, recordings and films to develop understanding of advanced language.
