GER1001

Herzlich Willkommen! GER 1001 is the first course in the four-semester German language sequence at the University of Minnesota. It is designed for beginners in German who have little to no prior experience with the German language. This course focuses on your development of interpersonal speaking and listening skills, interpretive reading and listening skills, and presentational speaking and writing skills while working on an introduction to the cultures of the German-speaking world. The textbook, Augenblicke: German through Film, Media and Texts, is accompanied by online exercises in Canvas. The book makes use of authentic German-language materials, including excerpts from novels, short stories, YouTube videos, and film clips from Bella Martha. By the end of the semester, you will be able to communicate with others about a variety of topics including yourself, your family, university life, your interests and future goals, as well as your eating and shopping habits.
