B1.3 (in person ~Thurs. AM)

Structurally: B1.3 continues the Intermediate German sequence. Students will reinforce and practice their basic German skills and continue to study more complex constructions, such as relative clauses. Students will also expand their knowledge of subjunctive forms to express hypothetical situations.

Functionally: Students will start to move away from immediate needs and talk about professional applications. They start to discuss topics of common interest such as the environment.  They will learn to understand longer non-fiction texts to speak about hypothetical situations and to offer predictions for the future.  

Objectives: At the end of B1.3 students will be able to understand and analyze some fictional texts as well as longer newspaper articles. They will be able to understand German advertising and TV and radio features. They will also be able to discuss problems, opinions, and plans.
