How To Get Started?
Learning German begins with basic and intermediate language and culture study. The beginning and intermediate sequence consists of four semesters: German 101, 102, 103, and 204. Students beginning at Carleton take a placement test to determine the appropriate level German course for them.
How can you get help with German?
The best way to get help with learning German is to visit your professor’s office hours. Check your course syllabus, website profiles, or Moodle page to find office hours times.
Our Language Associate also offers drop-in office hours. The hours each term are posted here.
Come to the German Mittagstisch every Tuesday and Thursday in the LDC or other German events to practice speaking and meet other German learners.
Check out the Carleton Language Center, particularly their Language Schedule!
Your professor likely has other helpful resources for learning and practicing German posted on Moodle.
Be sure to take advantage of other resources offered by the Academic Support Center.
