This class is designed as a follow-on to Deutsch II, as taught by Lehrerin Jerilyn. New students are welcome, however, they are encouraged to reach out in advance with any questions regarding the level.
This level introduces more advanced writing and speaking exercises. Students should come prepared to engage more heavily in basic conversations with the teacher and each other. We'll continue with grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and conversation study, learning grammar not yet taught in the first two levels. Topics may include verb conjugation in different timeframes and modal verbs; compound sentence structure; declension of nouns and adjective agreement; Dative and Genitive cases, and advanced adjective declension; conversation topics about one's person, such as family, hobbies, and work; German culture and history; and other subjects, depending on the class' interest.

We know the land of German fairy tales: a country of beautiful castles and valiant knights amongst twisted forests inhabited by witches and dwarfs and lost princesses. In this class, we learn the dark and sometimes gruesome origin of the classic Disney Princesses and beyond.
We will read and discuss folk and literary tales, mainly of the brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson, and learn how fairy tales shaped Germany as a country.

Intended for students who have a solid grasp of grammar, but need practice applying it in speech, and want to expand their vocabularies. Class usually consists of some reading and writing homework, with the bulk of the time spent on discussion in a friendly, comfortable environment. Class is taught entirely in German, and students are expected to express themselves as best as possible in German for the duration of the class. Questions in English are permitted, but explanations and answers are usually addressed in German, rather than providing a one-to-one English translation.

Put your budding German conversation skills into practice. Class usually consists of discussing some reading and writing pieces, with the bulk of the time spent on discussion in a friendly, comfortable environment. Homework includes reading and writing assignments, as well as vocabulary lists.
Class is taught entirely in German, and students are expected to express themselves as best as possible in German for the duration of the class. Questions in English are permitted, but explanations and answers are usually addressed in German, rather than providing a one-to-one English translation.
Intended as an opportunity for those who have taken German I and II with Jerilyn to stretch their conversation muscles. Others are of course welcome. If it's been a while since you had a chance to practice speaking German and you'd like to get your feet wet again, awaken your passive vocabulary, speak more fluently in general, or get more in the habit before you take a trip, this is the class for you.

Globalize Yourself
We believe it's fundamentally wrong to only learn a language from a text book, audio CD, or computer program. It's time to get away from the computer, grab a coffee and meet your local Strømmen teacher for a real conversation.
Strømmen has been the highest rated language school in Los Angeles for over 5 years. We are a teacher Co-op which means you get a great price and our teachers are happy. You may have a teacher right next door!
