    Hello everyone :pac:
    I am going into first year and all this modules and electives stuff is so confusing...
    Anyway I have a question: can I take German as an elective if I never studied German before? Not proper studies anyway I learned myself a little but I don't know if that's enough...

    Thanks!! that helped me a lot :)

    But still, what about the normal german module, not from applied, it says it's for students who did german for leaving cert... Now... Is it really like that??? And there's no chance I can figure it out along the way??

    The ALC, offers courses for every level, from never done it to HA1 in the LC. From my understanding, non ALC lanuage courses, tend to be about the writen rather than the spoken word...

    German Gen Purp 1 is for those who have never learned German. I'm doing it, I did French in school, never done German :).

    If you like history,might I recommend German Political Culture (GER10050).It's easy,informative and features the pure ledge that is Dr.Simone Schroth.I was happy with the A- I got and honestly you'd feel that the two hour seminar fly by most days.:D
