Spaß in der Mittelstufe (B1+/B2) - Wed AM

Course Description:

This class will read the first book,  "Milchgeld",  of the Kommissar Kluftinger series. This smart, loveable and socially awkward detective, at home in the Allgäu region of Bavaria, will introduce us to traditions and customs of his hometown Altusried, as well as to his beloved Kääspatz'n. We will also dive into the cultural context of the series, as Kluftinger is trying to find the path towards a resolution, past many a situation in which his social competences are needed as much as his criminal ones.  Learn in a fun environment that focuses on communication and teaches important language skills for everyday life.
