Germany is considered the leader of Europe and one of the continent's most prominent and powerful countries. German is spoken by over 90 million people worldwide, and since Germans are known for being spread out all across the globe, learning German is a useful skill no matter where you are. English is a Germanic language as well, so learning German is a little bit easier for native English speakers, since the languages both come from the same root. It's the second biggest language in the European Union and is chock full of culture and intriguing linguistics, making it a great language to tackle with our information-packed modules. The goal of Level 1 is to leave you with a wide basis of vocabulary, an ability to converse freely in German, and a beginner's knowledge of German grammar, sentence structure, and syntax. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to have conversations in German and will have a strong foundation to continue learning the language and new vocabulary.
