If you are behind on your university degree credit requirements, a summer course is a great way to get caught up. Summer courses are held between spring and fall semesters, and the course material is condensed accordingly to fit the schedule.

What is a summer course in intensive German? Intensive German often requires a greater time commitment and yields faster language proficiency. In intensive German courses, students learn the German language in larger and more intensive increments (as the name suggests). Many students find this to be more conducive to the diligent practice and immersion that is required in learning a language. Students taking an intensive German course may be studying German reading, writing and grammar conventions. They may also be studying pronunciation, usage and the nuances of contemporary German.

The skills obtained in taking a course in German include improved cognitive function and adaptability to various linguistic circumstances. Students may also be able to expand their range of expression and obtain marketable bilingual (or multilingual) skills that are so valuable to a range of employers.

Costs for an intensive German course vary depending on the country and the universities themselves. Students should speak with a school advisor for an accurate representation of costs at their desired schools.

Careers that would benefit from a knowledge of German language include translation and even government services (with further study and training). There is also an array of academic careers for German speakers, including German Literature studies or German language instruction at either the high school or college levels. Additionally, any companies that work with German customers or partners can benefit from having an employee who speaks German.
