German 1 B
Course Description:
Learning a new language is a multi-faceted experience in which you are introduced to a whole new set of words and ways of expressing yourself with words, along with new cultures formed by people who have been speaking that language for centuries. TheGerman-speaking world spans Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, andLiechtenstein in Europe, as well as many other parts of the world.In German 1B, you'll be introduced to several common situations in which people describe how to earn, save, and manage money, modes of urban transportation, various seasons and the associated weather conditions, food, clothes, and activities.Youíll also describe various art forms, plays, concerts, and movies. Youíll discuss health and well-being, and travel and tourism. You'll build on what you learned in the German 1A course to communicate by listening, speaking, reading, and writing in German asyou internalize new vocabulary and grammar. You'll also learn about some regions of the German-speaking world that the central characters of each unit are visiting. You will build on this semester's work as you advance in your German studies: everything thatyou learn about a language and the cultures in which it is spoken will serve as a foundation for further learning.
