Learning German made easy. We offer classes for ages 3-5 years, 6-7 years, 8-9 years and 10-12 years for beginners and children with previous knowledge.

The classes are suitable for pre-school and primary school children who already speak a little German, as well as for beginners. Each child is supported according to their language level. We like to get to know new students with their parents before placing them in the most suitable course.

For beginners and intermediate:
The children develop basic German skills by exploring different topics through lively and stimulating activities such as role play, stories, games, singing and dancing.

The course focuses on the children's oral and written communicative skills.
Children learn to introduce themselves and others, count to twenty, spell in German, name colours, body parts, clothes, days of the week, months of the year and talk about the weather, school, hobbies, family and friends.

For learners with previous knowledge:
Children extend their language skills by exploring different topics through lively and stimulating activities such as role play, stories, games, singing and dancing.

Sessions cover topics related to the calendar, such as seasons, dates, months, days of the week, daily routines and time, cross-cultural celebrations such as Carnival, Halloween, St Martin's Day and Christmas, practical topics such as clothing, weather, road safety, cooking and baking, as well as interesting topics such as favourite foods, films, hobbies, sports, circus, animals and nature.

Depending on their age, and in addition to improving and strengthening the children's communicative skills, the course focuses on either developing or improving the children's reading and writing skills.

Our native-speaking teachers are experienced in working with children and apply the communicative approach to ensure that each child has sufficient opportunity to speak German.
