Publisher's Synopsis
Textbook for one or two semester courses in Introductory German language.
Deutsch Zusammen provides an emphasis on creative language use and genuine communication in the classroom beginning on day one. This valuable and class-tested resource will help students learn to speak German that is both reasonably fluent, spontaneous and accurate, both grammatically and culturally, and easily understood by a native speaker of German. Each vocabulary section is followed by an interactive activity for meaningful vocabulary practice. The vocabulary is presented around a theme, but also selected for maximum personalized use by students. Each chapter contains at least one listening or reading with pre-, during, and post activities that are done in class with guidance by the professor. Notes on culture, language, political situation and geography are explored throughout the text.
