Synopsis

Willkommen! 2 Intermediate course is a brand new multimedia German adult learning programme for classroom and home use. The course includes a coursebook, activity book, CD and DVD set.

Created in consultation with teachers and learners, it's the perfect follow-up to the Willkommen! Beginner's course or any beginner German course. It can also be used as a starting point for study to review and build on existing knowledge.

This series comprises 10 units, each with a short educational video that provides an engaging and current overview of German culture and language. Shot on location in Frankfurt, the videos are closely related in topic to each unit in the book, and feature carefully curated interviews (a Green Party councilor with Turkish heritage; two generations of a family running a marble quarry and furniture business; a class of foreign-language students and their teacher; a local couple who hosts travelers from all over the world; an advertising executive who works on the 'Made in Germany' brand for clients such as Lufthansa). Frankfurt's beautiful riverside and historic centre provide the backdrop to the videos. You will visit the GoetheHaus, tour the university campus and sample the delights of the local market. Through the videos, you will be able to enter family homes, cafes and offices, to get a sense of how Germans live and speak today.
