- introduces children at an early age to another language and culture,
- gives Middle School and High School students practice in a foreign language before they start
college or take a trip abroad,
- provides adults a chance to learn German or,if they already have learned some German in college or while staying in a German-speaking country, a chance to improve their knowledge of it, .. and lets all participants experience some Lernvergnuegen - the pleasure of learning something new and exciting. Classes with limited enrollment are offered
- for Preschool- and Kindergarten-age children,
- for Primary and Middle School students who already speak German and for those who want to learn it from the ground up,
- for High School students and adults at basic, intermediate and advanced levels. Some of the courses are also offered during the week in Tallahassee and, through Skype, elsewhere. Individual instruction is available for students whose language skills may be above or below those needed for participation in any of the above classes. At the end of each semester, High School- and College students can take exams on the basis of which German Language Diplomas at three different levels are awarded by the Federal Government of Germany.
