Elementary German 1 & 2

This course is tailored for elementary school-aged children, focusing on foundational German language skills in a fun, play-based setting. It capitalizes on the linguistic absorptive capacity of young learners, particularly in grasping the sounds and rhythms of a new language. Each class session introduces basic vocabulary thematically, which seamlessly builds towards future middle school and beginner (A1) level classes. Learning involves imitation of a native speaker for pronunciation, accentuation, and simple sentence formation. Interactive games, writing exercises, and speaking activities help reinforce grammar concepts. Additionally, the course exposes students to German culture and typical holidays through songs, children's books, and other engaging materials.
