Description:
German handwriting is troublesome with seven forms of the letter s, h’s that look like f’s, e’s that look like n’s, p’s that look like nothing ever seen before, and r’s that are just plain upside down. Students will learn to read Gothic Script and Fraktur Typeface and have fun in the process. This course will include German genealogical vocabulary and Latin terms. By the end of the course, students will have the tools needed to read basic German genealogical records.
