Beginner Level
"Play is one of the most important ways in which young children gain essential knowledge and skills." ~UNICEF, 2018 This class sets children up for a lifetime love of learning German. Through fun activities such as songs, rhymes, games, coloring, and drawing, learners will begin to enjoy the sights and sounds of German. I'll start your child on the same joyful journey of learning German that I began as a child with my German mother and continued through college and beyond. I earned a B.A. in German, achieved professional fluency, and went on to serve for a year in the German Bundestag, a position of 100% language immersion. I will set your child on this same path to fluency. My goal is for the kids to be having so much fun, they won't even realize how much German they're learning! Each meeting of this class combines a recorded lesson with a worksheet of fun activities for you to complete independently. My Part - The Recorded Lesson: ✔️ WARM-UP SONG ✔️ RHYME ✔️ PRACTICE ✔️ GAME ✔️ WORKSHEET Your Part - The Worksheet: ✔️ COLOR - Color in the word and picture ✔️ DRAW - Draw a picture using the day's color ✔️ SCAVENGER HUNT - Find something that is the day's color and announce it to your grownup, pet, or favorite stuffy Topics: → Lesson 1 - White → Lesson 2 - Brown → Lesson 3 - Black → Lesson 4 - Red → Lesson 5 - Orange → Lesson 6 - Yellow → Lesson 7 - Green → Lesson 8 - Blue → Lesson 9 - Purple → Lesson 10 - Pink → Lesson 11 - Review! TEACHING METHOD My teaching style is soft, warm, and soothing; I think of it as 70% Mister Rogers and 30% Bob Ross. You'll notice I keep the class video focused on my face, voice, and physical visual aids. Studies show kids in their formative years learn best through face-to-face interaction, so I don't rely on slides or virtual graphics that minimize me, the teacher. Learning in my class is deliberately-paced and human-centered, which creates a deeper, more permanent learning experience—even in an asynchronous class. Come give it a try!

My native language is English—I learned German from my German mother and took German in school all the way through to earning my B.A. in German. I even worked for a year as an intern in the German Bundestag, in an environment of total language immersion. I have a deep respect and appreciation for the German language, which I will pass on to your learner in my class!
