What the college says
German classes are varied and dynamic, including lots of conversation practice, role plays and grammar exercises to help you become a fluent speaker. You will use a wide range of resources, develop your language skills and broaden your knowledge of German culture. You will have the opportunity to participate in a trip abroad, for example, Berlin or Vienna. There are weekly conversation sessions in small groups or in pairs with the language assistant.
