German Language School of the North Bay

This class is for elementary school students with intermediate (or higher) German language skills who are able to fluently read and write in English (about grades 3-4) Students should know “classroom language” in German so they can follow a class primarily taught in German. They should be able to express themselves in spoken German in simple sentences, should know the German alphabet and sounds and be able to read German sight words and simple sentences.

In this level, children will reinforce and build on vocabulary learned in lower grades. They will expand their conversational skills, develop their reading and writing skills, and gain first insights into German grammar. Culture and holiday tradition in German speaking countries is explored through songs, poems and crafts.

Learning materials for this class include a textbook and supplemental material from other sources. 

This class is taught in-person at our Novato campus on Saturdays from 9:30-noon. Download our school calendar to see which days we are in session. This class uses a book! After registering, please follow the link in your confirmation email to purchase the book on our book ordering site.
