Let's Make Believe in German!

Join us to tell a story about a different character every week in German! We will create an identity for the character and tell a story about what they do by describing our own actions with German verbs.

Description

Class Experience

This class will be taught exclusively in German using the immersion method. There will be no explanations in English.

Each week, the teacher will present learners with a new character. This might be an animal, a person in a funny outfit, or an inanimate object. This will be our character for the story. We will give it a name. We might talk about the character's personality or other things in its life. Then we will talk about what the character does. The teacher will guide the discussion with...

This class is taught in German.

- Have fun speaking German
- Learn new German vocabulary
- Practice speaking and understanding German
- Gain confidence speaking German

25 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Tips for a Successful Class:
1. Teach your child to mute and unmute (if possible). This way, they can participate independently.
2. Supervise your child, especially if they can't seem to stay in front of the screen. There is nothing I can do to bring them back!!
3. Keep the surroundings quiet and free of side conversations. If the child's surroundings are quiet, you can leave them unmuted. If there is disruptive background noise, I may be forced to mute them.
4. Allow them to bring a toy (if it won't be unreasonably distracting). Talking about the toy in German can be a great icebreaker!
