Course details
Guten Tag! In this first course in the series, James Pfrehm—an Associate Professor of German and Linguistics at Ithaca College—introduces you to useful expressions and some of the distinctive sounds of the language. Learn how to turn u into ü (u with an umlaut) and how to transform ch, spoken in the front part of the mouth (as in ich, meaning “I”), into German’s back-of-the-throat ch (as in the composer Bach). Plus, discover why German is worth learning.
