There are so many interesting correspondences between 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 correspondences quickly. You’ll become an excellent educator guesser! We will discuss and practice skills such as these:
1)	splitting the word into parts
2)	concentrating on the consonants
3)	working with consonant pairs such as t/d, p/b, k/g
4)	working with other sound correspondences

I’m really excited to share these skills with you!

Note: This class is offered in Outschool’s self-paced format. There are no live class meetings on Zoom. Instead, you’ll download a video and a slide presentation that you can work on at your own pace.

The class offers approximately 45 minutes of learning material.
