When the author of the video was at German A2 level they had to prepare a semester project. They put off doing the project until they came up with the idea of not trying to do something super for learning German, but to do something that would take the pressure off and relax in the process. In this they had spontaneous help from friends, which helped them not only to have a good time but also to memorise the phrases used in the video by acting out contextual scenes from life.
All information and details about the German courses at the Academy can be found on the Academy website.
