Textbooks: Berliner Platz Neu 1, Intensivtrainer 1, Deutsch Grammatik leicht A1
This class is for beginning German students and no prior knowledge of German is assumed. We will cover the first two to three chapters. Chapter 1 (Hallo!) will teach us the alphabet and how to introduce ourselves to others and chapter 2 (How are you?) will teach us numbers and polite small talk about how we are and how to order drinks. In chapter 1 we will have a special focus on how Germans greet each other in different parts of the county and in chapter 2 we will look at the coffee house culture of Vienna. In chapter 3 (What does that cost?) we will visit a flea market and bargain with the stall owners. Our special activity will be an “on Zoom” flea market where we will each bring things to “sell” to each other. Be prepared for some hard bargaining!
