In this class, students learn beginning German. Each week students will learn about a different German letter, we will practice writing German words and learn new vocabulary. Students will also learn and practice to read words and sentences in German and understand its meaning. 

Students will receive homework each week in order to practice the learned vocabulary and/or practice reading and writing words. 

In this ongoing class, students will be introduced to different beginner German vocabularies. We will cover a new topic and new letter each week that will fit into our monthly theme, but also practice greetings, counting and colors in most classes.  

Here are our monthly themes: 

September: School
October: Fall and Halloween
November: Food
December: German Christmas
January: Winter
February: Pets and Valentines 
March: Zoo
April: Spring/Farm
May: Body Parts
June: Summer 
July: Bugs 

Each class will have a similar structure: 
1. Hello Song
2. Greetings
4. New Vocabulary 
5. New Letter
6. Reading and Writing Words starting with that letter. 
7. Game to practice learned words. 

I am using fun pictures and tools that keep students engaged. I will also use short youtube videos for some of my songs. This course is great for absolute beginners but also works well for students who are bilingual speakers and need more reinforcement in speaking German. 

*I will speak a mixture of German and English in this class, because my main focus is to motivate students to learn a new language. It often scares students if I use German only and I noticed that they are much more motivated when I use a mixture of both languages.*

I hope to see you in my class!
