Investigating and reflecting on language and language use: Through action-oriented exercises, students learn from the very beginning about the syllabic structure of written German, which enables a solid mastery of the standard German vocabulary, particularly regarding the phenomena of ie- and lengthening-h spelling, as well as the spelling of double consonants - including ck and tz. Students examine grammatical phenomena and systematically expand their language awareness. The language book with workbook can be used as an alternative to the language workbook. The language book with workbook and the language workbook are identical in content and methodology.
