GER 1002 - Beginning German (5 Cr.)
Course description
Herzlich Willkommen! GER 1002 is the second course in the four-semester German language sequence at the University of Minnesota. It is a continuation of GER 1001. 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 Der ganz große Traum. In addition to these texts, we will also work with a travel blog and the children’s book Akim rennt. By the end of the semester, you will be able to communicate with others about a variety of topics including free time activities and sports, important inventions, travel, and migration. We will also tackle the all-important question of “why”!
