Last semester this course covered basic German greetings, vocabulary and word order. We have had dialogues and vocabulary for food and drink, restaurants, shopping, and jobs. We have learned to tell time and learned some adjectives, prepositions and adverbs. We have focused on the nominative case and started the accusative case. We expect to cover the dative case and the past tense. We use German whenever possible practicing grammar and vocabulary, and we use English when learning new grammar.

Last semester we spent quite a lot of time reviewing grammar and practicing it in dialogue or in texts. Basic grammar has been covered, including all of the cases: nominative, accusative, dative, genitive. The winter curriculum will include additional reading of texts. As much as possible, German is spoken throughout, except for grammar explanations.
