Courses

GER200Y0-Intermediate German 1

GER200Y0 Intermediate German 1

This course continues the work done in GER100Y1 / GER101H1. It further expands on basic grammar and vocabulary, practice in comprehension, composition, and conversation.

Prerequisite: GER100Y1/ GER101H1 or German placement test, Senior high school German or equivalent. (NB: Students must have reached the A2 language proficiency level to qualify for this course).

If you have taken a German language course at the 100-level (GER100Y0 or its equivalent), you are eligible for the GER200Y0 course. 

Each university has different ways of organizing their courses. At U of T, our German language courses are all a year long. Some universities instead of offering a full-year course, they split the 1 full-year language course into 2 half courses with different course codes. As long as by the end of the winter semester (April) you will have the equivalent of a full-year language course, then you are all set.

1 half course + 1 half course= 1 full year course

If you are not sure whether or not you have the correct prerequisites, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
