Then, in Week 2, you'll learn how to talk about television programmes and statistics. The course will give you opportunity to practise expressing preferences, asking for and giving permission and apologising. You'll also learn how to use separable verbs.This OpenLearn course is an extract from the beginning of the Open Centre for Languages and Cultures short course, LGXG003 Beginners German 3: richtig so! After completing this free course, you may wish to register for the full course to continue your learning!
