German Beginners: Winter And Christmas Time In Germany (Flex)

Hallo und Guten Tag!

My Winter Gift for all my learners! Get $6 off my classes with coupon code MEDRF94N6 until Dec 22, 2023. Look through my classes at https://outschool.com/teachers/Nadine-Jochims and enter the coupon code at checkout.

Komm mit! Come and join me on this immersive German Wintertime Course! In this German Immersion class for beginners, we will learn simple sentences and fun activities around the topic "Winter" in German. PLEASE NOTE: There will also be a video on Christmas and Advent traditions excluding extensive religious reference. I will mainly focus on traditions such as cookie baking and decorating the tree as well as when presents will arrive in Germany, delivered by Santa Claus.
I will mostly speak German in the videos, but I will speak English for giving instructions and feedback. 

This German for Beginners Kindergarten is a FLEX class, so there won’t be any LIVE meetings with the teacher. Nevertheless, learners will engage in the Outschool classroom with the teacher and the other learners. I will also be available to answer your questions and give feedback throughout the 4 weeks of this flex class.

In each lesson, we will cover the four skills 
- listening, 
- speaking, 
- reading, 
- writing.

We will 
- listen to short audio texts, 
- build up new vocabulary,
- prepare short everyday conversations in German,
- practice pronunciation and vocabulary,
- explore authentic situations and activities and train natural, spontaneous interaction. 

My video tutorial and all related materials for that week will be posted each week for you. Learners will be encouraged to share their completed mini-project of each week by uploading a video, a picture, or a PDF to our Outschool classroom. They also participate in polls and games. That way, other learners from your group will be able to interact with you, for example when you send them on a scavenger hunt. 

In this 4-week FLEX class, the children will learn basic German expressions through play, song, and nursery rhymes.

We will cover some of the following topics in the German beginner lessons:
Week 1:
- Winter: Weather, Clothes
Activity: Video
Week 2:
- Winter Activities
Week 3:
- Winter traditions: Advent calendar, Christmas tree
Winter song
Show and tell
Week 4:
- Winter Craft and cookie baking (we are not actually baking together!)
Share your craft and give feedback

Your child is not required to know any German, this is a beginners' class. 

Born and raised in Germany, I am a Native Speaker of the German language with no accent. I have taught Kindergarten (Maternelle) in Canada, and I homeschooled my own Kindergarten son in German and French. Your child will learn German words and expressions quickly through immersion, play and songs. I am so excited to meet your children!

Bis bald (See you soon),
