Roland Dollinger

German Studies at Sarah Lawrence College

Beginning German

Yearlong

This course concentrates on the study of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation in order to secure the basic tools of the German language. Through grammar exercises in class, dialogues, and short compositions students will learn the fundamental skills to speak, read and write in German.

This class will meet four times every week: three times with Mr. Dollinger and once with Ms. Mizelle who will also meet with students individually or in small groups every week for an extra conference.

Course materials include the textbook Neue Horizonte, a workbook, and a Graded German Reader that will allow students to start reading in German after the first week.

We will cover at least twelve chapters from our textbook: all of the basic grammar and vocabulary you will need to know in order to advance to the next level. The only requirement for this course is a strong commitment to doing homework consistently.
