The Downtown campus is easily accessible by BART or MUNI. Register early, classes fill up quickly! For further information, please call the Foreign Language Department at (415) 239-3223.  Also, students who are returning to learning German after a break, consider taking a German placement advisory test in order to be placed in a level-appropriate class.
