Deutsch im Alltag

Undergraduate / Graduate

This intermediate-level course is designed to help students bring their German language skills out of the classroom and into the real world. Students will practice navigating everyday situations like finding housing, handling transactions, and using public transportation, while developing the active vocabulary and cultural knowledge to engage with native German-speakers on relevant topics. Authentic materials are used to improve not only reading and listening proficiency, but also cultural literacy. A system of scaffolded writing tasks and regular grammar assignments help students identify and correct errors, improving language acuity. Note: Students may take either this course or GRMN 20100: Deutsche Maerchen as the first course in the second-year German language sequence.
