Perfect preparation for a season in Austria

The German course was the perfect preparation for my season in Austria. It really helped me a lot during the course and especially during my season! Thanks to the German course I was way more secure about talking the language. The German course had the perfect length, every lesson was interesting and fun!
I would recommend the German course to everyone who wants to develop their German and get the perfect preparation for their season! :)

A Lifesaver! So helpful!

Prior to doing this course, I had very little ability in speaking or understanding German. Doing this course in the months leading up to the 5 week Austrian course was a life saver! Especially for an English person who only speaks English! It prepared me with all the useful ski and snowboard phrases as well as teaching phrases, and also helped prepare me well for working and living in Austria for the season! I’m even going to use my notes from last year to refresh my skills for this year!

I got an amazing help by using this…

I got an amazing help by using this German online course. It helps you understand the ski and snowboard terms that you will be meeting at the course in Austria. It makes you feel more ready and prepared to start speaking and understand German! BIG BIG help. After this online course you can understand and say more in German then you thought you could, especially if you are really new to the German/Austrian language

It was a really good way to learn

It was a really good way to learn, I learned different kind of word that i didnt know before and still got the chance to recap on some old words i may have forgot. The only thing that wasnt so good was the germanbuddy we got by Snowminds, it didnt work so good for me. But else it was really good. I learned alot and know that others will have good use of it too.

Explore the German language with Snowlingo

If you want to explore the German language, do it with help from Snowlingo. Not only do you get a great chance of providing your linguistic skills - you also get the chance of learning the language as fast (or slow) as you prefer. Not being able to have a conversation in German before take off to a six-months stay in Austria, Snowlingo for sure had my back. Now I am more than able to have just a conversation - I almost speak German fluently. Thank you, Snowlingo!

Do you want to learn German?

Do you want to learn German that you can use as a skiinstructor? Take the course Snowlingo. This course will help you to learn basic sentences and words you need to know if you want to teach in German. I took the course through Snowminds and was able to teach children and adults.

Have the best season using snowlingo :D

Because of the snowlingo, I had a season where I didn't have to worry that much about the german. Before I started I was able to have a 'low level' conversation in german, but by taking this course, you learn all the good skiing terms/sentences, and also a bit austrian, which makes it useful for everyone. I highly recommend everyone going to austria to use this course! It made me feel well prepared for the Anwärter-exams, and it will also get you in skiing mood!

The perfect German course!

I had never been taught German before, neither in primary nor secondary school, so I felt rather lost prior to departing for a 6-month stay in Austria. Snowlingo made me feel well-prepared before departure, as the course modules are very educational, well-organised and relevant to the skiing world. I warmly recommend this course!

Brilliant course, to get the best season.

I took my German course before I started my ski teacher education through Snowminds. Without this course I would be lost from the first day under the Anwärter. Before I started this course I didn't practice German for 4 years. It was perfect to refresh all basics, and then learn everything you need to get a great season and do well under your exams during the Anwärter and Landes 1. The course is focused on speaking a lot, and that's exactly what you need to the exam, and during a ski lesson as teacher.

I recommend this course to everyone who are going on a season in Austria! It is great, but remember to pay attention, and speak out loud it really helps. And best of all gets you in skiing mood ❄️❄️

Very relevant!

I took the German course in connection with my ski instructor education through Snowminds. It worked super for me. Especially because I had Spanish instead of German during my school years. The course prepared me not only for my season but most important for the german test called "Lehrauftritt". I couldn't have been without this german course. A big thanks to Maria, who has been by my side during the whole course and who has built up the course.

An excellent course!

I learned more German during this course, than i did throughout 3 years of elementary school.
I started out knowing only a few basics of the German language. The first pair of courses takes you through the very basics, and from then the difficulty rises. Albeit the start was a bit slow and required dedication, I found myself understanding more and more of the introductory videos. The German words take time to learn, but hearing the language spoken out loud in every course helped me a lot!
I do recommend that you dedicate yourself a bit though. Practice the words and sentences in your head or out loud, or at least write them down. It helps a lot!
