Dependency Chain
Choose a Room
Complex Articles & Reports
Read long German feature articles and institutional reports: find the thesis, follow one argument across the whole text, and work out unknown words from their parts.
Argument Structure & Author Position
Find the author's own position inside an argumentative text, take the argument apart move by move, and build one of your own.
Implicit Meaning & Register
Hear what German writers mean but never say — particles, understatement, irony — then repair a text that stands on the wrong rung of the register ladder.
Workplace & Public Information Texts
Circulars, posted notices, tenant information and official decisions — and the complaints, requests and proposals you write back.
Digital & Media Texts
Recognise the German text types you meet online, read past the framing to what a report actually claims, and write the email that matches your reader's register.
Comparative Sources, Reports & Summaries
Read two German sources on the same question side by side, combine several accounts into one accurate synthesis, and write it up as a Zusammenfassung or a Bericht.
Critical Reading & Cohesive Writing
Read a persuasive German text against the grain, then write one whose paragraphs and connectors carry the argument.
B2 Reading & Writing Mastery
The room where reading and writing become one task: read a source once, plan in five minutes, and finish inside the clock.
