This course in beginning German is designed to introduce students to a different cultural world through the use of language, spoken and written.
Language is the key to understanding cultures.
I am blue means one thing in English. The supposedly equivalent words in German mean something quite different. You will be given the opportunity and skills that enable you to contact German-speaking natives in daily activities, or through travel or professional relationships. 15 minutes of each class will involve communicative use of German derived from a variety of materials. This is an opportunity for students to USE the language to communicate with each other, to express opinions, presentations of self, interests and concerns.
