Course details

Start with another satisfying Zungenbrecher. In this second course in the series, James Pfrehm—an Associate Professor of German and Linguistics at Ithaca College—acquaints you with the different ways of asking questions, both open-ended and close-ended questions. Survey the interrogative pronouns, focusing on the special uses of wo, wohin, and woher, which all mean “where”, but with distinct implications regarding motion and place. Finally, learn to count to a billion! (Without saying every single number on the way.)
