Description

A German language course that follows on from GRMN 151, based on the communicative approach.

GRMN152 is a second half year course in the German language that builds on elementary knowledge gained in GRMN151; at the same time it is an ideal starting point for other students who have already had a year or two of instruction in high school, or who had some German many years ago. The course is run in two different streams which meet 4 times each week and which emphasize practical self-expression and communication in everyday settings.  By the end of the course most students will be equipped to describe and participate in a large number of ordinary activities; the grammatical structures learned along the way are moreover the most important and frequently used ones in the German language. GRMN152 is thus a logical step for anyone seeking a good basic comprehension of German, and an absolutely necessary one for those who wish to go on to more advanced study.

This course leads on to GRMN251 Intermediate German Language A.
