語彙トレーナー #1: ドイツ語の推測力 (10 ～ 12 歳)

Guten Tag! In this class, you'll learn how to make good educated guesses when you see a new German word.

You’ll get…
+ 3 videos that teach you to become an expert educated guesser
+ slides that guide you through 20 mini practice sessions
+ a handy reference sheet
+ the opportunity to ask me any questions that come up as you do the work

Read below for more details. I’d love for you to complete the training!

--Dr. Jennifer

P.S. There are two Vocabulary Trainer classes. You can take one or both, in any order.

---------

There are so many interesting similar words in German and English. 

Some are pretty obvious, like…
die Hand, hand
die Pflanze, plant
die Laterne, lantern

But some are a bit more hidden, like…
das Girokonto, checking account
der Ellenbogen, elbow
sich fürchten, to be afraid

In this class, you’ll learn to undercover hidden similarities quickly. You’ll become an excellent educator guesser! We will discuss and practice things like…
1)	dividing up the word 
2)	looking at consonants
3)	considering other similar sounds

THE SELF-PACED FORMAT
This is a self-paced class, which means there are no live meetings on Zoom. Instead, you work your way through the pre-recorded, pre-written learning materials posted in the classroom (videos + slide presentation + reference sheet).

You can go through the class at whatever pace works best for you.
- If you finish early, great—you can move on to your next German class!
- If you need more time, no problem. Just let me know.

If you have questions as you are working on the material, you can message me at any time.

The class will probably take you around 45 minutes to complete.

LEARNING MATERIALS
Here’s what you’ll do in the class:
