thanks. I understood about half of that! :-) I don't really want to be better at speaking it just reading it (of course I know one would help the other)

  The Goethe Institut definitely believes in "whole language" and they consciously practice reading, writing, speaking, listening, and grammar and vocabulary study during every single class. If you don't want that, it's indeed probably not your best best. (Also, there's kind of this subtext about language skills for living in Germany, because a lot of the class activities are about roleplaying stuff like trying to rent an apartment, visit a doctor, order food in a restaurant, or go clothing shopping in Germany.)
