Getting Around
 
Imagine your classroom as a restaurant, a train station, a marketplace.

Your desk becomes a table in the restaurant, a ticket counter in the train station,  a stand in the marketplace.

Grammar discovered on the menu,  on the schedule, on the cabbage cart.

The focus: German-learning environments for the student with a deadline. 

Bring along a three-ring binder and a set of divider tabs.  There are a great many handouts, and this allows you quick reference to previous topics.  By April you will have amassed a textbook.  

The dictionary:
German-English Bilingual Visual Dictionary

Classes run from September 17, 2011 to April 21, 2012

Next Class: 17 March 2012
