This Week . Intensive Elementary Course. This is an intensive introductory course equivalent to the first two terms of college German and intended for students who have not previously studied German. Few things are more fun and exciting than learning a new language for the first time, and we hope students will approach the course in this spirit. This means focussing on material that will engage learners' interest, creativity, and sense of humor, as well as on the development of effective language learning strategies.
Regular attendance is imperative.
By the end of the term, students will have been exposed to all the essentials of German grammar, which will then be reviewed and extended in the third and fourth terms. Students will be able to cope with a variety of conversational situations and written texts. No credit granted to those who have completed or are enrolled in 100 or 103. German 102 is the continuation of German 101. This means focussing on material that will engage learners interest, creativity, and sense of humor, as well as on the development of effective language learning strategies.
