German

This course provides students with the opportunity to explore Austrian culture and German language through learning activities both inside and outside the classroom. Students learn to understand, speak, read and write simple, idiomatic German, being introduced to sounds, word forms, sentence structures and basic vocabulary of German. Using intensive grammar and vocabulary learning coupled with hands-on practical application through projects, field trips, and conversation groups, students are exposed to everyday cultural situations, but also more complex topics such as Austrian history and politics. This course is designed for students with little or no prior exposure to the German language (A1/A2). No prerequisites. Open to students of all years. Taught on location as part of the Travel Study program Vienna.
