German 304 - Kursbeschreibung

Welcome to Beginning German. It is never easy to learn a foreign language and it is not easy to learn German. We are, however, convinced that the learning of a foreign language--and the learning of German--is a worthwhile and rewarding experience. We believe that the primary goal of language instruction should be the development of communication. Through our approach we hope to achieve a high degree of interaction in the classroom and make your learning of German enjoyable.

We would like to teach you how to communicate meaningfully in German from the very first moment and at the same time to understand better the culture, daily life, and attitudes of the German speaking peoples. We will teach you the language as it is spoken and written in Germany, Austria, and parts of Switzerland. We will give equal emphasis to all five language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and culture.
