English for German Speakers

Are you a German speaker struggling with common English mistakes? This course is designed for you!

Do you often find yourself saying things like "My actual chef works by my company"? The similarities between German and English can be deceptive, leading to frequent errors. This course will help you sound more natural and correct persistent mistakes that trip up German learners.

It’s natural to rely on familiar patterns when learning a new language. However, this can be problematic because words can look or sound alike but have completely different meanings in English. These "false friends" are a common source of confusion. Often, we don't even realize we're making a mistake because it "sounds right" in our native tongue. But repeated errors can become ingrained, making them difficult to correct.

This course aims to identify and help you correct these common pitfalls before they become permanent habits.

Here's what you'll learn:

• False Friends: Master the art of identifying words that look or sound similar in German and English but have different meanings. Avoid embarrassing miscommunications!
• Letter Writing: Analyze and correct a sample letter, focusing on typical vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation errors common among German speakers.
• Grammar: Understand how to correctly form questions in English and grasp the crucial differences between the simple past and present perfect tenses.
• Common Mistakes & Explanations: Uncover other frequent errors and the underlying reasons behind them, empowering you to avoid them in the future.
• Knowledge Checks: Reinforce your learning with quizzes covering all topics.
