Annotation

The course is conducted in the form of exercises, during which various morphological and lexical phenomena are practiced with a brief introductory explanation of the theory. The topics are set so that they can be followed up by a more theoretical explanation in the course Grammar of Contemporary German I, which takes place in 1/LS.

In this course, attention is paid mainly to non-verbal parts of speech. The course syllabus is flexible and can be slightly modified based on the needs of the group.

The focus of this course is not only isolated morphological and lexical phenomena, but also their anchoring in communication and the practice of these phenomena in practical language.
