Overview of class

In the third quarter of the German 102 sequence, we will continue to use Intermatik as our base for grammar. Students will continue to increase their proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing German. Students will also have the opportunity to continue conversing with native German speakers via TalkAbroad. This quarter we will read Nora Krug's Heimat (2018), an award-winning graphic novel about the struggle of Germans to come to terms with their nation's past.
