In this collaborative and immersive environment, we welcome high school students and adult learners alike. Come and join us if you attend a local high school such as Alexander Hamilton Senior High School or John Marshall Senior High School. If you attend a local college such as the University of Southern California, you can also benefit from a Los Angeles German course. There are many reasons why you may want to join a German course. Perhaps you're getting ready for a trip to Germany or you want to prepare for a college course. Taking a German course is a great way to get ahead and build your knowledge of the German language.
German is an exciting and vibrant language that is spoken natively by more than 90 million people. Although it is spoken in a variety of dialects, including High German and Low German, written German is considered to be relatively uniform. Low German is spoken in the lowlands of Germany. High German is found in the highlands of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. It is associated with mass media and higher learning. Enrolling in a German course can open up an array of professional and personal opportunities for you. In addition, it can introduce you to an exciting new culture and expand your understanding of the world.
What topics might I learn about in a Los Angeles German course?
Learning a language is a laborious process that requires an enormous amount of effort and patience. When you study German, some concepts your instructor may go over with you include vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Let's have a brief look at each of these.
German vocabulary may strike some beginners as strange since it uses gender. This means that words can be masculine, feminine, or neuter. Although this can be a tough concept when you start out, your instructor can give you some insight into it and provide you with ways of remembering it. You will find that as you progress in your studies, it will become a bit easier to understand gender.
Grammar is the most important topic in any language because it allows you to piece words together. In a German course, you may discuss conjugation of verbs in many different tenses. Learning conjugations can be a rigorous process, but your instructor can help you out if you get stuck.
Pronunciation can sometimes be difficult for beginners, but in these courses, your instructor can give you assistance on any words that you may be struggling to pronounce. This is another area that is likely to become easier with practice.
How can a Los Angeles German course help me?
One helpful feature of courses is that they make use of collaborative learning. You can speak with other students and help each other with any difficulties. This method of learning has been shown to increase understanding of the material. Your instructor can step in and help resolve any issues that may arise. Let's say you're struggling with a certain grammatical structure. Your instructor can go over the issue and may be able to provide some useful study tips. In addition, you can schedule one-on-one time with your instructor to discuss topics that you need extra help with.
It's important to us that classes be as convenient as possible. Since classes take place entirely within an online environment, you don't have to worry about burning gas to get to a school. All you need to do is fire up your computer, connect it to the internet, and you are all set. Additionally, there are several sections that start monthly, so you can choose the class that best fits into your schedule. You can pick between a four-week class and a two-week class.
