Introduction

This class will utilize a series of materials that I have developed over a number of years for online instruction in German. You can access them at https://hollyforks.com or by scanning this QR-code .

Q-code
The materials are organized in sections which can be followed sequentially, but on many pages there are links to other sections, which enable you to strengthen your knowledge of specific aspects of the language. Thus you will probably end up exploring many alternate paths. And you may wish to jump immediately into the last two sections, which offer a huge treasure of audio and video recordings, and thus deeply immerse you in the language. I encourage you to experiment with the various levels of instruction and exposure to German.

Please introduce yourself to me by taking a picture (selfie) and sending it to me by email. When you click on this link or scan this QR-code, it will open your email program with a message already composed. You should attach your picture to that message and fill in the information requested in the message body. Email introductin
