Our ever-popular instructor Rose Stephenson teaches Beginning
1 through Beginning 3. Rose earned her MA in German from
the renowned language-teaching program at Middlebury College and
also lived in Germany for many years. Her experience includes more
than ten years of teaching evening German courses at UW-Madison.
Our Intermediate course, offered in fall
and spring, is designed so experienced speakers of German may take
the course multiple times to continually improve their speaking
and listening skills and expand their knowledge of German culture.
Instructor Karen Jankowsky has a PhD in German literature, has studied in Tubingen, Berlin, and Paris, and has extensive teaching experience.
All of our courses are oriented toward
improving conversational skills to prepare you for real situations
such as travel in Germany. The entire program uses the textbook
set Themen neu, which is available for preview and purchase on campus
in the University Bookstore's lower level, in the "Outreach" section. The classes Beginning
1 through Beginning 3 take you through Volume 1, and the Intermediate
course draws from Volume 2. You can also visit the textbook publisher's Web site, although it is entirely in German.

What students have said about our Madison area German courses:
“Rose is a wonderful teacher for adult German classes.
This is my third class with her. She is very cheerful, enthusiastic and
supportive of students regardless of their abilities.”
“This course has been a great way to have exposure
to the language without the pressures of a credit class.”
“It is the most interesting and engaging German
course I have had. A very positive class. Class participation is very
good.”
