You will acquire the language skills for the respective planning and execution phases of a construction project, and also learn the differences to the German HOAI phases. We will also cover topics relating to urban planning, technical building equipment, sustainability and construction in existing buildings.

How about efficiently increasing your verb vocabulary and fluency in English? In this seminar, we'll harness the power of prepositions to enhance your language knowledge. Through targeted practice, we'll explore phrasal verbs like "look at", "look out", "look for",  "look after", "look up", "look up to", helping you to improve your conversation skills with more confidence.

Collocations such as "pass an exam" or "fully aware" make your language sound natural because collocations are a natural combination of words that are closely related. By mastering collocations, you will be able to communicate your ideas more clearly as well as speak more fluently, because you remember words in phrases.

This course is for anyone who wishes to (re-)activate their English speaking skills through discussion, conversation, and language games. You are invited to bring in your own ideas and topics if you wish.
