Berber I

Adjunct Professor of Berber: To be Announced

DC Internationals is proud to offer Berber I- a ten week intensive, non-credit course that’s designed to teach Beginning Berber through immersion, fun and humor.   

Times and location

Berber I- — Meets once per week on Monday from 6:00-7:30 PM

First day of Class: May 31, 2010

Location: 1920 G Street, NW, Washington DC.

No previous foreign language necessary.

Academic Goals

The course will teach the Berber grammar, dialogue and reading, with vocabulary, grammatical explanations, and exercises. Each class will begin by going over the exercises from the previous lesson, thereby reviewing that lesson before proceeding with the next one.  

In addition to the material covered in the lessons, which will be passed out at each class meeting, there will be classroom conversation. The students will be expected to purchase the course materials. Each week, one student will make a presentation to the class, either a website or some other item of his/her own choosing. The class will take a Mid-Term around week six or seven, depending upon our progress.

While augmenting our lexicon all the while, we will be able to read, write and speak basic sentences in present, and past tenses. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a Final on the last class.

By the end of the semester, you can expect to have basic reading, writing, and speaking skills.
