German A Level & AS Level Courses
German the most widely spoken native language in Europe and is the language of some of the greatest musicians, poets, philosophers and scientists. The German language is also very closely related to English, with both languages sharing the same Germanic root. Our students continue to develop their knowledge and understanding of the German language, broadening their vocabulary range, grammatical competence and oral fluency, and also explore the rich culture and political history of German-speaking countries.
