Summer Tips: Engage with German!
Summer holidays are here, bringing with them a time for relaxation and fun for our children. While it’s essential for them to enjoy their free time and engage in activities they don’t usually have time for during the school year, it’s also great if they can stay in touch with the German language over the summer. Here are a few tips for fun and educational videos your children can watch when they get bored. These programs are also favorites during our German classes.
