Children’s German Lessons

Children are recommended to start learning a foreign language as early as possible. Starting from the natural source of language, its sound, by listening - our native speakers lead them soon to a veritable skill of ドイツ語会話, having lots of fun.
o
3 to 6 years: Children start playing first dialogues with dolls and each other, acting out little plays, playing games, singing little German songs, painting motives and making things out of paper. By that as well as using a lot of additional material they get used to a regular communication  ドイツ語会話.
Using the Workbook Tamtam - Erster Kontakt Deutsch für Kinder (Hueber) or Fabuli  Student's book + Workbook (Klett) we support this process – beginning at the age of 4 to 5 - by introducing German letter by letter with many listening activities, paintings, stories, speaking events and writing exercises.

o
6 to 10 years: Step A1: Planetino 1-3 Student's book + Workbook (Hueber)
Depending on the placement consultation children get instructed in all respects of the German language – listening, speaking, reading, spelling, writing, comprehension of sentence structures and grammar and this is rounded up by games, songs and other activities – in three steps of our basic course German for Young Learners according to the Common European Framework of Reference of Languages:
