Florence is the perfect professor for Beginning German. Her enthusiasm is unmatched, and she has a clear love for teaching, making it a much more enjoyable experience as a student. She has a talent for pronunciation and will give you a million different strategies to work on tricky sounds. Although class meets every day, you almost never get bored of it because Florence keeps the classes interesting and engaging. If you are interested in starting German, I would highly recommend taking a class with Florence.

Prof Huang is very kind and very engaging with her students. The class as a whole requires you to be alert because she loves to cold call, but it is never a big deal if you get it wrong or don't know the answer. She is very helpful in teaching the complexities of the german language and I would highly recommend her as a prof. There is a significant amount of homework every night in the form of practice problems on connect, but is otherwise a great class

Viola is one of the best professors I had in Middlebury. She is really nice and always happy to help, and she is also very accommodating to students' needs. She explains concepts very clearly and she is just a sweet person. I love the German dpt.

Viola is super enthusiastic about teaching German. She does talk a bit fast so sometimes it's hard to keep up but also helps you learn faster. The grading is pretty straightforward except for the pronunciation exam which was a little bit harsher.
