Big Question: What is the value of expressing ourselves in another language?
This course is designed to build on a Let’s Start German or Meet the Germans course and prepare you for NCEA in 2026.
You will explore the language further and discover more about the culture through a range of activities. By the end of the course you will be able to talk and write in German about a wider range of topics, and to express your opinions. You will also develop your interactive skills to include shopping and arranging to meet friends. You will become more confident using different strategies for language learning, and understand some ways life in Germany is different from your own in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
There will be an opportunity to connect with language learners from another school.
