Introduction to Public Speaking (THU EVE)

We will look practically at how to prepare, the fear of rejection, patterns of speech and tone and the use of silence. We will consider how we use facial expressions, gestures and body movements, and how we welcome and connect with an audience. This course is practical, hands on and enjoyable.

German Improvers

This course with Michael Struppek is for anyone who has rudimentary German or taken Michael’s Introductory course and wants to improve.

“I prepare my own learning materials and try to individualise lessons as much as possible. Abilities, interests and jobs of students will always find their way into my lessons.

It is never only about grammar but also about the way a language works – and how that influences ways of thinking. German lessons should also deal with the culture of the country – it’s habits, history and idiosyncrasies.” – Michael Struppek
