GER 211 - Intermediate German I

This course is designed to enhance students’ skills in reading, writing, and speaking German. Along with a systematic grammar review, we explore literary, historical, and cultural topics, drawing on a variety of texts, including short stories, films, paintings, and newspaper articles. One hour per week is spent in small conversation workshops, and students regularly complete listening comprehension exercises online.
