Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Beginner Level
The “German for High Schoolers” curriculum transforms your young person into a CONFIDENT COMMUNICATOR and prepares them to meet COLLEGE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.

If your student is 13 or older, they are ready to begin. This little Trial Class lets your young person check it out! Here’s what we will work on in the Trial Class:
• learn (or review) clothing words in German
• do an exercise from the textbook (Kontakte: A Communicative Approach)
• discuss the reasons that German & English are so similar
• practice deciphering fun German words like “der Wasserfall,” “der Schneesturm,” and “das Unterseeboot.”

+ ENROLL YOUR STUDENT in the Trial Class today!
+ MESSAGE ME with any questions. I’d love to send you a PDF on the World Language College Entrance Requirement and a link to a Meet & Greet session.

If your student can’t make any of the scheduled Trial Class times, just let me know. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can add a day/time that works for you.
