COURSES IN THE LANGUAGE SEQUENCE
We are offering all our regular German language courses from German 101 (Beginning German 1) to German 202 (Intermediate German 2) this fall. Note: GER 102 will now be offered Online during Fall Semesters.
If you are not sure, which one you should take, check out our placement guide here: https://www.german.pitt.edu/curriculum/language-placement.
In all our courses, we are working with the new textbook series Impuls Deutsch, as well as authentic sources from music, websites, and videos. In GER 202, you will also read a short book, Inge Scholl’s Die weiße Rose, about a resistance group in the Third Reich, to prepare you for more extensive readings in the upper-level courses.
Of course there will also be a project again! In the past, project themes have included political parties in Germany, regions of the German-speaking world, the situation of refugees in Germany and the US, and adaptations of well-known German fairy tales.
