Learn the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in German. Our German courses examine various aspects of verbal and written communication - including vocabulary, sound patterns, and sentence structures - thus building basic conversational skills in German for everyday situations. Students will explore German culture and social conventions and participate in interactive, practical lessons designed to advance personal and professional development.
Note: Students may not use German as a course credit towards a diploma or certificate if German is her/his first language. Seneca Polytechnic reserves the right to remove students from courses if the student possesses German language abilities above the level of enrolment.
Students with prior knowledge of German must register in LGE001 for a placement assessment. The Program Assistant will contact the students via email to arrange a free assessment for accurate placement.
Part-time Studies courses are being offered in either of the following four formats: Online, Flexible, In-person, Hybrid. Click Availability below to see current offerings.
This course is designed to develop the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing contemporary German within a cultural framework. People today require more than one language to meet the needs of a changing world. Modern communications, increased world travel, the economic interdependence of nations, and immigration trends are all contributing factors. This course will emphasize functional fluency and provide opportunities for development of language skills. Topics and practical situations dealt with are of particular interest to those who need to get along in a German-speaking country (travelling, visiting acquaintances, conducting business, etc.)
Please note: Students with prior knowledge of German must register in LGE001 for a placement assessment. The Program Assistant will contact students via email to arrange a free assessment for accurate placement.

A continuation of LGE131, this course will maintain and improve German language acquisition in the four skills- listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The introduction of more complex structures and interactive classroom activities based on everyday situations will solidify both oral and written skills. Cultural awareness will also be expanded by investigating the unique characteristics of various German-speaking regions of the world.
