Beginner Conversational German This introduction to the German language suits those who might know how to say “Ja” or “Nein,” but little more.

The mix results in a plus for both groups. Lessons will include some, print materials, written notes, and basic grammar. The Internet offers so much to enhance classroom instruction but will not be used more than to “spice up” the basic lessons based on communication.
