In the morning there will be 3 different German classes: for beginners, intermediate and advanced participants.

Each group comprises a maximum of 7 children.

Tuition is from 9 to 12 from Monday to Friday.

There is special emphasis on SPEAKING GERMAN: situational dialogues, everyday German, role play, sketches. Our aim is to motivate the children to use German and to communicate as well as to enjoy trying to converse in a different language.

The children will also be in contact with their Austrian peers: at the swimming pool, when we have activities in the afternoon in the village, when we invite local children.

We are planning to have a small presentation on the last day of the course: some singing, a few sketches, and other displays. In the first week of the course, the parents of the children who participate will get information by e-mail about this event.
