German 1

German 1 (GER1) was a CTY course focusing on the Western European language of German. This course was offered at Carlisle.

Course Description

From the CTY Course Catalog (1997):

This course covers an extensive amount of material comparable to the first year of a traditional high school German course or in the first semester of beginning college German. By using German as the primary means of communication from the first hour, students make rapid progress in acquiring basic language skills and speaking with a natural accent. Role-playing and dialogues supplement written and oral drills and exercises. Instruction is conducted in German as often as possible, but prior knowledge of German is not required or assumed. Students are expected to memorize a large amount material in a short time. CTY strongly recommends that students who enroll in German 1 for the first session continue immediately into German 2, either in the second session at CTY or in the 1997-98 academic year.
