Brochure: Why German?
Why should children and teenagers learn German today and why is it beneficial to start early? There are many arguments in favor of this: The promotional brochures and films of the "Ideenkoffer" present this in a vivid way. Our PowerPoint presentation with a series of arguments is ideal for information events to show parents, school administrators, and teenagers that learning German is worthwhile.

The collection of ideas presents interesting websites, exercises and exciting projects and competitions for the classroom. It also contains a list of institutions that can be helpful for lesson planning.

Lessons
The idea that German is difficult to learn is widespread among young people. The three lesson units prepared for vocational school students are intended to counteract this impression. The sample lessons on "Numbers", "Geography" and "German after English" can be used  as a first lesson. They should show young people that they can quickly learn some German words and that learning German is not that difficult.

You will find all the lessons in print form and on the enclosed USB card.
The "Ideenkoffer" is complemented with interesting additional materials: easy-to-understand A1 readings, posters, badges and stickers that motivate to dive into the German language.

Let's go.
