Learn German
Lifelong Learning | FULL (Membership Required)
German is a fun and easy language to learn. It really is! You already know many common basic everyday English words from Germanic roots…about 26% - man, father, mother, son, daughter, house, sun, wind, table, stool, cat, garden just to name a few. Maybe you studied German in high school and we can build on that, or maybe your grandparents spoke some old words that their parents passed on. Or maybe you just want to try a new language.
This class will be a very small class and will run for 10 weeks (skip March 14 and April 18) . It is suggested you secure a copy of “See It and Say It in German” if possible.
