THIS COURSE IS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE AT A LATE INTERMEDIATE LEVEL - THIS COURSE IS HELD IN GERMAN

In this course we will be focusing on strengthening our German foundational language skills. We will be reviewing Grammar rules, practicing grammar, discussing chapters from the book, answering comprehension questions and working on our writing skills.
Everyone will be interacting with the teacher and the other students via Zoom meeting. We will be using the “Grammatik aktiv” workbook  by Cornelsen and the chapter book "Der Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien (the hobbit) .
This course includes a lot of interaction, practice and fun. Homework is a necessary part of learning a language! I will be sending homework home weekly.
