German Classes and Tutoring

Text Box: The course is designed to introduce students, with no or little previous language exposure, to language skills such as comprehension, listening, speaking, reading and writing and to prepare students to become conversationally proficient. Students will ultimately build language competency by producing and by linking learned material. Students will be able to converse on familiar topics and write simple sentences on the topics presented in the text. Written exercises are geared to reinforce the oral exercises. In addition, the course will increase awareness of cultural and social differences and characteristics within the US and Germany. Examples from the world of business German could also be included.
