Our Philosophy
Those who learn with personal interest and motivation, tend to learn easier. Easier learning usually results in better overall language proficiency
All our educational material place a lot of emphasis on the fun of learning German. A playful experience motivates learning and makes children delight in German, improves their feel of the language, and stimulates their senses. As a result, a stress-free approach is enabled. Our educational media are adjusted to the psychological level of the development of the children. Every age is accompanied by certain methods that are implemented in the books.
The topics are inspired by the children's experiences of everyday life, encourage the development of their personality, promote a critical way of thinking, foster the sense of community and activate a positive attitude towards life. As there is no second chance for the formation of first impressions, most of the units start with a song that suits the unit's topic.
Music is highly motivating, is the perfect medium for the introduction of topics, and appeals to the emotional self of the students and therefore allows a long-ranging embedding of knowledge. Furthermore, music helps to overcome the fear towards something new, and the lyrics of the songs help to foster oral fluency and boost correct pronunciation.
