Course Description:
The German Course will be at an Intro Level, teaching it as a second language. Class will be for 30-45 minutes weekly. It will be for anyone who is able to write. All ages will benefit from this. There will be homework assigned.
We will use a variety of tools: Deutch im Blick textbook, Learn German Smarter mnemonics, fact study, videos, maps, word searches, etc. to explore German language and culture. We will possibly be making German food, and some crafts and projects.
You will learn: Articles (der, die, das – it´s really not that difficult, once you know HOW it works!), Irregular verbs (learn vowel gradations (Ablaute) with a very smart trick!), Verbs with Prepositional (which verbs use which preposition? And which case goes with it? Most students get really confused about this.), Adjective endings/ adjective declensions, Prepositions (Which case follows which preposition?) and the tenses of German grammar.
Freut mich, Sie kennenzulernen,
Marlene
