This class will continue to teach the basics of German introduction. How to meet friends, ask for names, ages, addresses, phone numbers and directions, understand easy conversational questions and how to see the difference in formal and informal introduction. We will learn with pictures, games and stories. It will be a fun conversational learning experience. Students must be able to read english. How to read German, including the Umlauts ä, ö, ü and ß, and the Artikel Der/ Die/ Das, will be part of the class. 3 new German words will be learned every week to grow the vocabulary. Week 1: Repetition of the basic Introduction and addition of family member names ( Bruder, Schwester etc. ) It will include learning about the German Artikel Der/ Die/ Das Week 2: Adding the numbers 11-20 and learn how to say a street address and phone numbers in order to ask for help and directions. Week 3: Learn how to get around by knowing directions such as links, rechts etc. Game time!! Map Game: "Find home" Week 4: Recap of complete section. Who am I? Who are you? This is where I live and how can I get back there? No real names or addresses will be used to assure everybody's privacy! Students will get the chance to talk with each other in German and practice their German skills right away. I was born and raised in Germany for 28 years before coming to the States. Since the right pronunciation of German words is key to being understood my background will help to prepare my students. After those four weeks students should be able to introduce themselves to a German native and ask for directions and make more friends internationally. Language is what can unite us and make the world a friendlier place. Ich freu mich auf Euch!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love to teach my mother tongue, German, and as many arts as possible. I grew up in Germany as a daughter of a Civil Engineer and a Teacher and moved to the US in 2003 to further my dancing career and knowledge of Life in general. Dance has been in my Life forever. I started to dance at a young age and tried out most every genre. Ballet, Jazz, Ballroom, Tap and Hip Hop just to name a few. I went to the Sport College in Cologne/ Germany and to School for Ballroom dancing in Bonn/ Germany where I became a Teacher for Ballroom Dance. I also studied Textile Arts and like to work with my sewing machine. I love movement and I love music! And I believe that with every new language and every new skill you try in Life you become a more complete person.
