Hans Hase the Hare draws on the kids' curiosity. They learn a new language just like their mother tongue. Through a variety of activities such as story-telling, rhyming, singing and dancing, playing games and doing handicrafts, children immerse themselves into German. Hans Hase is always on their side, making sure they enjoy learning. Children build up confidence and experience learning a new language in a fun way. Topics include my house, my friends, my toys, and my clothes. Kids learn words, songs, rhymes and simple sentences in subject areas that are relevant for them. They can respond to simple questions non-verbally or verbally with simple means.
