This course is the first part of a thorough introduction to the rudiments of German grammar.  We will concentrate on beginning to develop proficiency in writing, speaking, listening, and reading German.  Our study will include cultural introductions to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.  After a successful semester, one should be able to compose and understand simple sentence structures (even though frequent mistakes will still occur) about oneself and one's family, one's interests and daily activities in both the present and the past tense.

This course will seek to help the student understand the significant developments of the major visual arts and music in Western culture, and their relationships to the communities in which they were created. The course will also seek to develop in the student a comprehension of the significant interrelation of the arts in general. Participatory exercises in the major and lesser arts will help broaden the student’s perspective of the significance of the arts in other cultures.
