German II Part 2 provides a comprehensive review of German grammar, including adjectives, pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions. Adjectives will be discussed with special focus on their use. All types of pronouns will be extensively examined, with special attention paid to problematic areas. This course will further elaborate upon the use of prepositions and conjunctions. Finally, the course will provide a deep understanding of subordinating clauses, one of the most challenging concepts in German grammar. A large amount of new vocabulary and idioms dealing with traveling, feelings, and German tradition will be acquired and practiced through a close study of situational dialogues in every lesson. Part 2 focuses on developing a better understanding of the German language and strengthening students' speaking skills. Written skills are developed as students are required to write various dialogues, descriptions, and paragraphs. Many presentations, interactive exercises, and games will help students expand their knowledge.
It is recommended that students successfully complete German II Part 1 or equivalent course work before enrolling in this course.
