LAN130 – 9-12th grade course – Yearlong – No prerequisite – Year 1 of World Language Graduation Requirement

German is the language of poets and thinkers, of inventors and innovators; more than 100 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to Germans. It is the second-most commonly used scientific language in the world, and a vast array of German companies contribute to the country’s role as an economic global market leader. Because German and English share a common linguistic root, German is a fairly easy language to learn. The study of German begins by emphasizing similarities with English, including the many common words such as wanderlust and gesundheit. In the first year, you will learn to speak about yourself and your immediate world, including family, school, and hobbies. Beyond this emphasis on communication, projects, like one about famous people from the German-speaking world, focus on the breadth of German culture as part of our world heritage. In all levels of German, you will enjoy preparing and eating authentic German food.
