Course Summary

Continue to develop German language skills by exploring a range of topics, such as education, planning for the future, diversity, feelings and value systems, historical and economic influences, and cultural expressions. Students build language competency by delving into a variety of topics including school systems, careers, identities, workplace behaviors, artists, values, cultural diversity, emotions, advertising, pets and their care, and much more. In this course, students participate in technology-assisted interactive sessions throughout the term, engaging in spontaneous discussions in German alongside prompt instructor support and feedback.

This class is taught almost entirely in German.
