For those seeking to expand their understanding of the German language, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a Boulder German course that suits your needs. Whether you're a high school student at Fairview High school or a German major at the University of Colorado - Boulder, online courses are a useful supplement to traditional classroom learning that can help students of all skill levels reach their learning goals. All courses are taught by knowledgeable, qualified instructors, and students can benefit from both collaborative learning and personalized instruction.
German is spoken by over 90 million people worldwide. Therefore, knowing the language can connect you with people from many different countries and cultures across Europe. In addition to being the official language of Germany and Austria, German is also one of three national languages spoken in Switzerland. It belongs to the same language family as English, Dutch, and Frisian, so German shares many characteristics with these tongues, as well. This means that learning German may be more accessible to English speakers. It also means that learning German can set up a foundation to learn similar languages more easily in the future, especially for those who are interested in traveling, working, or living in Europe.
Students with an interest in international relations, business, or education stand to benefit from learning the German language. Furthermore, if your high school or university requires you take a foreign language, German is often offered as an option. Varsity Tutors can enroll you in an online course that can help you succeed at learning German.
What concepts are covered in a Boulder German class?
In a Boulder German class, your instructor may cover basic concepts such as vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and pronunciation. In conjunction, students can learn about noun inflections. German uses a system of inflections to assign meaning to nouns in a sentence. The proper translation of the inflection is crucial to understanding the definition of a phrase or sentence in German. German inflections have three components: case, gender, and number (singular or plural).
Cases can be nominative, accusative, genitive, or dative. Often, nouns are given the nominative case if they are the subject of a sentence, and the accusative if they are the object. This is one way that inflections determine the meaning of a sentence, as it helps a speaker understand how certain nouns connect to each other and to the verb of a sentence - that is, who is doing what to whom. In addition to cases, nouns are also assigned a gender, which impacts how the ending of a word is spelled and conjugated. German noun genders are either masculine, feminine, or neuter. Some examples of nouns that students may learn in a Boulder German course include "der Mann" (masculine), meaning "the man", "die Frau" (feminine), meaning "the woman", or "das Kind" (neuter), meaning "the kid."

To ensure that all instructors are qualified, they complete a rigorous interview process that tests their teaching and communication skills. All courses are taught by German experts who are excited to help students learn. Students are also able to schedule individual meetings with their instructor to more closely review questions, concerns, and concepts from the course. Personalized and collaborative instruction are both essential components of these German courses.
