Hello everyone,
I have only very recently found out about the FSI courses. On this website there is a German 'basic' course which has two volumes. Did FSI ever create an 'advanced course' for this language and if so, is it available anywhere on the internet.
Many Thanks,
Languageman93

As far as I know they didn't, but I think FSI German I and II should leave you at the B2 level, if you study them properly and you get some practice with native speakers on a regular basis.
After B2, it is up to you to try to improve your language skills to a C1 or C2 level. There are some German books that can help you with that. Send me a message and I can give you a couple of titles of books for C1 and C2 levels. Edited by PolyglotNZ - 13 January 2008 at 1:35pm |

Hi,
You can find the descriptions of these levels here:
Just scroll down a bit until you see, "CEF - Common European Framework of Reference of Languages".
The German name is, "GER: Gemeinsamer europäischer Referenzrahmen für Sprachen".
Good Luck,
Jackie

Sorry Languageman93, I didn't see your reply until today. Nyperi13 has given you a link where you can check language level according to the Common European Framework.
In a nutshell, Beginners are divided into A1 and A2. Intermediate into B1 and B2 and Advanced into C1 and C2. Each level is then divided into skills for listening, speaking, reading and writing plus the different things you should be able to do if you reach that level of proficiency in the language |
