Ask a language school about a course
A1 · Email · Formal · 10 min · 45–60 words
Practise a simple formal email asking for basic information about a German course.
You found a German school online and want information about an A1 evening course.
Write a short formal email in German.
- say why you are writing
- ask when the course starts
- ask on which days it takes place
- ask how much it costs
This is one good possible response. Your answer can be different and still be correct.
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, ich interessiere mich für Ihren A1-Deutschkurs am Abend. Ich bin Anfänger und habe noch keine Deutschkenntnisse. Können Sie mir bitte sagen, wann der nächste Kurs beginnt und an welchen Tagen er stattfindet? Wie viel kostet der Kurs? Vielen Dank im Voraus. Mit freundlichen Grüßen David Miller
