Advanced Conversation: Ingrid Thomas
The class offers an opportunity to increase your knowledge of the German language and culture by improving your ability to understand spoken and written German and learning to speak in German. We use current articles, short stories, student reports, and some grammar review to practice these skills as we learn about the various aspects of German culture and everyday life. As an advanced class, sessions are conducted mostly in German and taught by a native German speaker.
Deutsch Heute for Native Germans/Advanced Speakers: Wolfgang Wachter
This is a current events-oriented class for native German-speakers and advanced students with near fluency in German. All conversation is conducted in German. As stimulus for our discussions, we select subjects from German publications, blogs, and podcasts and discuss current events and documentaries from Deutsche Welle TV and leading German television networks.
Class participants receive a weekly e-mail message with a reading selection to be discussed in class. Active student participation makes class interesting and lively. Student suggestions and contributions are encouraged and always welcome.
