Beginning German aims to give the student a solid foundation in the German language, with vocabulary useful to a traveler. The textbook will be supplemented with materials designed to supply copious oral practice. For each chapter there will be a packet containing oral and written exercises that the student will need to print.
Beginning German is designed to run for a full year. Following completion of “Beginning”, students may register for “Beginning, Continued” in the winter/spring term and then continue with the “Intermediate” classes.
Required textbook: Learn German the Fast and Fun Way by Paul Graves, published by Barron’s. (any edition that is red or reddish is recent)
* The German Beginning class is held in the Fall term. The sequel, German, Beginning Continued, is held in the Winter/Spring term.
