Why German Language for adults?
Challenge yourself
Start at any skill level
Connect with others
Explore interesting topics
Our adult courses at CGLSS are a great way to challenge yourself in learning something new, connect with others and become a part of a special community of adult learners. We have classes for those lifelong learners just starting, those refreshing their language skills and those who are advanced learners that enjoy speaking German with others and sharing experiences. Students can enjoy learning the language through conversations about topics, the use of a textbook, videos, short stories, games about idiomatic expressions, proverbs, cultural topics and the explanation of relevant grammar. We invite you to join us in person or online and check out our exciting adult programs taught by experienced German teachers.
