Why learn Deutsch (German) ?
- German is the most widely spoken
language in Europe.
- In the United States, 1 in 6
people claim German ancestry.
- Atlanta has over 250 German
companies here doing business (Mercedes, Siemens, Porsche, etc.) with many
more state-wide (Atlanta Magazine).
- German is “the economic
powerhouse in Europe.”
- Germany ranks first among foreign
countries with facilities in Georgia (Atlanta Business Chronicle).
- A background in German can be
particularly helpful for a career in engineering, science, medicine,
and the arts.
Join me for a fun
journey learning the German language with a native speaker, I’ll also love to
share my German culture with you!
Homework will be done mostly online, using the
interactive part of the textbook and workbook as well as quizlet for vocabulary.
Students should allow around 45 minutes, 4 days a week for assignments.
This class will give you a full year's worth of
high school credit plus prepare you to take the optional, but highly
recommended, National German Exam in January. (In the last years my students
have received gold and silver medals!!) You could also take the A1 German test
(offered at the Goethe Institute in Atlanta).
I will place a group order for the printed text
and workbooks and supply you with the online access codes when classes begin.
For each class please bring something to write
(notebook and pen, plus some colored pencils and sharpener), as well as the
printed materials and a folder.
Feel free to email me with questions , I'll be
happy to help you!
