German

Teachers - (click on a name to go to teacher's webpage) Perry 

This is a trimester-long class.

We begin with the alphabet and basic German commands, and eventually learn how to conjugate different verbs with the different pronouns, learn the vocabulary for different subjects (classroom items, clothing, colors), and anything to do with numbers (counting, age, time, etc.). By the end of the class students are able to write interesting paragraphs about their families, including kinship terms, ages, where they live, what they like to do, etc, all without dictionaries!

General Course Expectations:

Students need a spiral notebook dedicated just to German for them to keep notes and exercises in. A pocket in the front of the notebook to keep returned worksheets and quizzes is recommended but not required.

  • Here is an interesting site for those of you who want to convert measurement units (like feet, inches, meters, etc) to other units. The site is in the German language -- you should see how their words for things compare to our words for those things! Just remember, in Germany, they use commas instead of decimal points, and vice versa, so "3 thousand" would be 3.000 and "Four dollars fifty cents" would be $4,50 Check it out! http://www.heret.de/mathe/meilen.shtml
