About

Welkommen! Welcome to Introductory German! Have you ever wanted to learn German? Did you know English and German share many of the same words? Are you looking for something new to learn over winter break? Well now is your chance! This series will focus on the basics to upper beginner lessons starting with the alphabet and eventually writing paragraphs and having dialogues about a variety of topics such as medical appointments, ordering food, and talking about what you do in your free time. We will utilize games, authentic German media like short films and articles, and more to help us truly discover the German speaking world.  In addition to writing, speaking, listening, and reading, we will also learn culture, geography, and customs to help you get the true idea of German life.
