Many German words are so similar to English that most students find German easy to learn. Language classes are 5 units and meet twice a week for 2 hours and 20 minutes each session. There are no make-up tests or early finals. These courses are planned for success but you must do your part. Needless to say, attendance is of the utmost importance.
Most colleges require a minimum of two ongoing semesters of a foreign language.
I encourage you to select German as your foreign language. Let me tell you why. Learning German is very helpful for further studies, such as, philosophy, music, history, medicine and psychology. As you learn more about a foreign culture, you enhance your global understanding, a necessary skill in the 21st Century. German speakers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozar t, Ludwig van Beethoven , Albert Einstein , Sigmund Freud and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe have great stature in world history, and, more recently, Arnold Schwarzenegger .
