Anna Pajak teaches in a way that helps you truly learn a language and is super supportive of learning. She explains concepts clearly and gives helpful feedback without making you feel discouraged. The class is very participation heavy and you must attend almost every class, but I honestly looked forward to this class every day.

I LOVE Anna (and the rest of the German department). She is so sweet and caring. Classes/homework/quizzes are extremely easy. There is homework every day and a quiz every Thursday, but HW takes 15 minutes tops and practice quizzes are provided the day before. If you want to take a language I would highly recommend German with any of the profs.

Anna is such an amazing and fun professor with a big smile. She brings lollipops and sweet treats often. We play games every class and you get to know our classmates. You have a short homework assignment after each class. Can't miss more than 8 classes. NO TESTS She cares more about speaking abilities rather than mastering every grammatical rule.

If you're thinking of taking German, take it with Anna. She was such a great professor and made class every day fun! You'd get homework every day (takes like 20-30 minutes to complete) and a small test every Thursday. Great class!!!

She was the sweetest and most understanding professor. When learning a new language such as Deutsch it could be intimidating but she makes it so easy to learn. This class was a refresher.
