Year 10 German

Over one hundred Nobel Prizes have gone to brilliant Germans for accomplishments in physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and other areas. So if you are looking to add a Nobel Prize to your resume, learning German might not be a bad place to start. Perhaps you have slightly lower goals and would like to start by revising how to introduce yourself and your family, and to talk about your daily life, school, and your town? Then this is the right course for you! In year 10 German, we will also go on a virtual trip to Germany’s capital city Berlin; cover how to talk about hobbies and spare time activities; eating and drinking; and German music and film. 

With German as a basis, you’ll find it easier to learn other Germanic languages. Dutch and even Afrikaans can be derived from German.

As you learn how to understand, speak, read and write more German, you will also develop your intercultural skills, which make us better adapted to living in a diverse society, more internationally minded and better at resolving cross-cultural conflict.

In this course we will explore our immediate environment and focus on areas of personal interest. You will learn how to understand and construct simple texts using your knowledge of German to describe aspects of your own background and immediate environment. 

You will connect with German native speakers and also have the exciting opportunity to go on a German movie trip.
