Academic German; how to express yourself well in writing
Students with German as a mother tongue who feel insecure when writing German texts can review and deepen their knowledge of German capitalisation, punctuation, and grammar. Correct use of indirect speech as well as learning how to use the Duden as a tool are also part of the course.
Our aim is that, after passing the course, you will be able to write confidently and correctly in German irrespective of the context.
