„Leben mit Tieren & Stadtportrait: Frankfurt am Main"

(Life with Animals & City Portrait: Frankfurt am Main)

Whether you have a pet, enjoy going to the zoo, or just like being in nature, animals are all around! Through this course, we will use animals as a vehicle to learn and practice German. In the second half of the course, we will take a closer look at Frankfurt am Main. This modern German metropolis will be a jumping off point to discuss global and regional cultures. 

You'll learn to:

  • Describe things using superlatives, and adjectives with the dative case

  • Ask indirect questions about people, places, and things

  • Talk about a city or region you have visited

  • Report the regional dishes and specialties of a city

  • Expand sentences using relative clauses effectively

 

Note - For this course the following is required:

  • Basic German knowledge — if you’re not sure if you’re at the right level, feel free to get in touch or sign up for a free get-to-know-you-meeting. You can always join the first meeting for free to see if it's a good fit for you. Please contact me.

  • The textbook Das Leben A2. You can order the book here. You can read more about the textbook here.

Every Tuesday between 10:45am and 11:30am, we hold open office hours — this is a special time we’ve set aside just for students in the group courses! It’s a chance for you to drop in and get personalized support. Whether you have questions about course materials, need help with a homework exercise, are facing any challenges in the course, or simply want to say "Hallo," you’re welcome to stop by. Office hours are open for all students in the group courses, and it's a great opportunity to receive additional guidance in a relaxed, informal setting. Feel free to join at any time during these hours — no appointment necessary!
