Course Description:
Our A1.1 Beginner class is perfect for absolute beginners who are eager to kick off their journey to proficiency in German. Learn in a fun environment that focuses on communication and teaches important language skills for everyday life and contemporary professional aspects.
If you have completed a German class before, please take a placement test.
Course Objectives:
At the end of A 1.1, students will be able to introduce themselves and others, and offer basic information about themselves and ask others for the same. They will have received an introduction to the sound system in German and talk about and ask for things in their immediate environment. They will also be able to count until one million (really!) and conjugate common verbs in the present tense and use possessive pronouns and prepositions.
