Course
Overview
A multi-media, game-based approach makes this introductory
German course different from traditional approaches to language
learning. Advanced teaching techniques are used to turn compelling
adventures and activities into rigorous lessons in grammar
and vocabulary. This course provides a solid foundation for
reading, speaking, writing, and understanding German and cultivates
a passion for the language through exposure to culture and
dynamic experiences of real people and real places. This course
also features cutting-edge adaptive learning technology that
lets students select the learning style that’s right
for them.
Take this course and polish your foreign language skills during summer when you have more time. Take it for enrichment or for course credit. You get half credit for a semester course (4 weeks) and
full credit for full year course (8 weeks).
