Lessons

Immersion reading.


A group Zoom class for German children living abroad. We read together. The point is to keep the language alive and practiced, with a person in the room who speaks it.

A child who grows up outside a German school can understand a lot at home and then stall when the page gets harder, or when they have to answer out loud. In this class we read a stretch, stop, talk about what happened, and sort out the words that got in the way. Then we read the next stretch. The children hear German used for a whole story, and they use it themselves.

The book depends on who is in the group. Tell me the ages and whether the children still speak German every day, or mostly understand it. I will not drop a young listener into a chapter book the others are already halfway through.

This is a reading class. It is not the whole school week. Families who want German lessons planned into a homeschool, or a co-op that needs a German teacher, should read the homeschool page. Other group classes, including adults, are under group lessons.

The first conversation is free. Use it to tell me about the children. We will see whether a reading group is the right fit.
