AÜM: Introduction
Alles über mich
Most world language courses, regardless of the target language, begin in the same fashion: a student first learns how to speak about himself or herself, to ask questions of others to get to know them, to describe personal preferences in leisure activities, etc. Thus, this module will prepare you to express yourself in these most common daily speaking situations. In addition, you will learn how to express the time of day and gather some basic information about Germany's geo-political profile.
