What is the easiest Language/Culture course Wloo has to offer? 10 points, 19 comments
u/skylar44: “GER 100 or GER 101, both were easy but GER 101 was sort of demanding considering it was 4x a week at 8:30 and the grammar got pretty complicated past the midterm. GER 100 was awesome, we listened to Rammstein!”

u/skylar44: “… GER 100 was interesting and had a whole lesson on Rammstein!”
