What Might A Cleveland German Course Cover?

That being said, modern English and German languages are very different, and they rely on very different underlying structures.

German is a gender-based language, and nouns might be masculine, feminine, or neuter. Inflections are also very important in the German language, and you'll need to memorize and understand how this system works. Inflections change based on case, gender, and number. There are four different cases to memorize: nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive.

German also uses very strict rules for conjugating verbs. Each verb might be conjugated according to one of three classes. These classes are weak, strong, and mixed. There are many other important concepts you'll learn in your German course, including pronunciation, common phrases, vocabulary, and more. You might also encounter letters in the German language which you've never seen before, such as the "ezzet". Also known as the "sharp S," this letter is represented by the "ß" character.
