This course is a semester long and will be offered in both semester 1 and 2.
Big question: How do we widen our view of the world with language?
This course is designed as an introduction to the German language and culture. You will discover the fun of communicating in another language, and learn how the German language is organised, and used in daily life.
By the end of the course you will be able to use German to communicate about yourself and others, know a range of strategies for learning another language, and understand some ways life in Germany is different from your own in New Zealand.
