German

Have you ever heard of BMW, Audi, SAP, Siemens, and Mercedes? Germany is the fifth largest trading partner with the USA, and a close political ally in Central Europe. Many German companies have branches in the US, providing for a large job market here and abroad. Of course there are also the philosophers, writers, and artists who came from German speaking countries and shaped Western thought and expression, not to speak of Germany’s tumultuous history making it the infamous center of 20^th century global conflicts. Whether you are interested in business, natural sciences, computer technology, politics, social sciences, the arts, or the humanities, a knowledge of the German language and culture will broaden your understanding and give you an edge in any future career.

Our instructors are dedicated to teaching German Language and Culture in a meaningful and relevant context that helps students to progress quickly in the four areas of language acquisition (listening, speaking, reading, writing), while preparing them to interact competently with German speaking peoples and cultures. The use of Internet technologies aids us in achieving this goal by making language learning more effective, interesting, and enjoyable.
