German 1a
Open
In this course, you will learn German through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. You will be introduced to various common situations that require communication, which is why we learn language. You will learn how to exchange names and greetings, describe people based on physical and personality traits, and talk about family members and aspects of their social life. You will learn how to ask for food, talk about family members, describe your town and urban transportation, discuss various seasons and associated weather conditions, and talk about food, clothing, and activities. You will also explore various art forms, such as plays, concerts, and movies. Additionally, you will discuss health and well-being, as well as travel and tourism.
You will have the opportunity to learn about different regions of the German-speaking world visited by the central characters in each module. This will provide you with cultural insights and context related to the language you are learning. And it’s so fun to learn about other cultures!
