grimms tales Book Club

Willkommen to our German Spring Classes 2026!

Class Description

Willkommen zu Online Book Club: Grimms Märchen! Step into the world of German language and storytelling through the timeless tales of the Brothers Grimm. In this beginner-friendly, 5-week-long book club, we will read select fairy tales in German and discuss these in German and English, exploring vocabulary, key phrases, and cultural context along the way. In their original form, Grimms Märchen often feature a variety of character elements and plot events not present in modern day renditions of the same tales. These stories lend us a glimpse into the past and provide an interesting contrast to the stories we know and love.

Each session will combine guided reading, group discussion, and light grammar practice to build confidence in both comprehension and speaking. No prior experience with literature in German is required—just curiosity and a love of stories!

Note: This course is continuation of our previous Grimms Märchen online class held Fall Semester of 2025 and will feature a variety of all new fairy tales not covered throughout the last book club.
