Description
This course will provide the students with a sound basis for learning spoken and written German. Every effort will be made to present students with interesting opportunities for self-expression. Just as important as skills acquisition will be an exposure to contemporary life and culture in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, centering around themes such as university life, shopping, geography, the German attitude toward privacy, theater, labor unions, the social position of women, and German folk music. Meets the Humanities requirement.
