German I
„Die Grenzen meiner Sprache sind die Grenzen meiner Welt" - Ludwig Wittgenstein
"The limits of my language are the limits of my world."
​
This introductory level German class is designed for students who do not speak German and have not previously taken a class ​in German. While it is a high school level course, it is also open to highly motivated and mature middle school students. This is a graded course that can be added to college application transcripts - even if your student is in middle school. As such, students should expect to spend 3-5 hours outside of class time each week working on vocabulary and doing assignments for class.
