Unit 8 – Studium

In this unit you will learn to talk about university studies and academics in general. You will talk about which subjects you like and do not like, learn how to talk about your major, your course of studies, and your plans for the future after you graduate.

University life is also frequently associated with living in a new place and/or living away from family for the first time. This often involves living in a dorm or apartment, having roommates, and frequently living in a new city or town. This unit will therefore also focus on aspects of living in and interacting in a city.
