A tu propio ritmo: Alemán básico para principiantes, impartido por un profesor universitario alemán

This 10-week class is a semester long class, taught by a native speaker and German university professor. It can be counted towards credit for your students. It is based on one of the most advanced university level curricula in the country and incorporates fundamentals in learning German language, vocabulary, grammar and culture. This is a self-paced schedule course that will allow your learner to work on his/her own time while receiving extensive feedback from me.

This is a limited class size course with extensive instructor feedback. Students who take this semester long course will learn all of the vocabulary, grammar and culture covered in both Let’s Learn German Level 1 and Level 2. In addition they will gain advanced practice and confidence in verbal communication through presentations and much interaction with fellow students and instructor. I am a native German professor and will utilize a partial immersion model which is the most natural way of learning language and culture.
