Instructor(s): Kristine Von Ruffer
This instructor's philosophy for language learning is complete immersion. By hearing and speaking German within the classroom - through every day conversation- you will learn it the natural way. You will TALK and THINK in German and learn to develop sentences in a very short time frame. You will achieve this by: 1. Using tangible items (i.e. plate, phone, shirt, etc) as visual aids to teach you the vocabulary. 2. Learning abstract words by connecting ideas and concepts. 3. Learning grammar "intuitively", achieve a balance between accuracy and fluency. The goal is active and lively learning through lots of dialogue and interaction between the native speaking instructor and other students in the course - which will allow you to communicate in your new language quickly and without inhibitions. This is part one for brand new students!
