Bogard Eva. Speak German Fluently In Less than 4 Months! (04/10)

Udemy.
Format: MP4, PDFWhat is TTLG?
Time to Learn German (TTLG) is Dr. Bogard’s online school for anyone who NEEDS to be fluent in German fast. The only requirement for success is that you absolutely must have a burning desire or serious need to become fluent fast. Not just a wouldn’t it be nice to speak German attitude, because that’s not enough motivation to make you maintain a daily 30 minute practice; either as one chunk or by breaking it down into three 10 minutes sessions each day. High motivation and making a small, daily time commitment are the only prerequisites for purchasing any of the courses at TTLG. It’s also very important that you follow Dr. Bogard’s learning recipe exactly as the instructions say. She can’t make any guarantees of a ‘delicious’ success, if you change or omit the ingredients, and alter the ‘cooking’ directions. If learning to speak could be done in an easier and even quicker way, she would be doing that with you already!What this course is not.
Please keep in mind that this is not a tutoring course, so you can’t turn in your work and have Dr. Bogard correct it for you, or personally tutor you. But she does show you how to get free help online, and there are professional German tutors on Udemy to help you even more.
She’s also available to you in the class discussion board, in case you have questions about the course or the materials.
This course is very specific in it’s purpose: to teach you how to get yourself into German conversations as quickly as possible. However, if you need to pass a specific German language exam, then a different course might be better for you. In Dr. Bogard’s physical classrooms, she prepares students for various exams and the strategies and methods used are particular to each. With your positive support, she might bring these courses to Udemy in the future, but that’s not what this first TTLG course here is. Although you do learn all basic foreign language skills, it’s designed to teach you oral skills as thoroughly and quickly as possible. Of course, if your exam includes a speaking evaluation, then this course will help you do better on that part!What do you get in this course?
Each course is a full semester (4 month) class, but you can do it faster or slower. Dr. Bogard helps you master one spectacular conversation, and along that path, she helps you understand all the basics of German grammar, and helps you learn to read and write in German with the help of native speakers. She also includes cultural lessons and social skills development- like telling a joke in German. The final capstone project is you speaking with real native Germans! This is an exhilarating, challenging, and unforgettable experience that will make you feel GREAT! Dr. Bogard walks you through every step of this entire process with short and simple videos, quick quizzes to make sure you are following the lessons exactly, and specific exercises that she saw polyglots use successfully.
When you finish the first course, you can move on to the next course in this series (planned for release in August 2015) that revolves around a new conversation, a grammar review to deepen your understanding of the structure of the German language, and new cultural topics. You will easily move faster in subsequent TTLG courses, because you will already be familiar with the steps in the Faster Fluency method you learn here.
Dr. Bogard’s aim is to help you build your fluency one conversation at a time, as a huge chunk, instead of using lots of phrases from many different topics at the same time, which is overwhelming for beginners, and doesn’t result in a finished product.
