THIS COURSE IS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE AT AN INTERMEDIATE LEVEL 

In this course we will be focusing on strengthening our German foundational language skills. We will be reviewing Grammar rules, practicing grammar, discussing chapters from the book, answering comprehension questions and working on our writing skills.
