German A0: All the German You Already Know

$397

with Michael Deas

Calendar Current session started Jun 2, 2026 at 9 am, runs for 10 weeks

COURSE DESCRIPTION

From the Instructor: The Alps, the Black Forest, the sausage links, and the beer are calling to you. Germany has that special something to offer ...but learning German looks about as fun as eating out of a concrete mixer. Relax! You know more of the Teutonic Tongue than you may realize. During this 10-week exposure course, you'll become familiar and comfortable with words, phrases, and concepts that right now look puzzling. German and English share common linguistic roots, similar grammatical structures, and even soundalike intonations. You'll be surprised to find out how much you already know—and how easy it is to learn more.
