German 2

This course provides a review and continuation of the middle school German program and the Passport to German course. The second-year course continues the emphasis on understanding and speaking German, and adds more emphasis on reading and writing than the first year. The goals of the program are to (1) master a basic vocabulary through further acquisition of reading skills, (2) continue aural-oral practice, (3) introduce German culture through conversations and readings and (4) expand the grammar control for formally analyzing familiar structures.
