Course Description
This course for beginners with little exposure to foreign languages is geared for younger minds, still especially receptive to language learning through contextual interpretation and imitation. Highly visual and amusing stories and activities are geared for these developing students, encouraging them to begin telling stories themselves. This course is not just a set of language lessons, but an appealing adventure for young minds, rich with all new graphics, games and engaging interactive activities. An integrated, game-based reward system keeps learners motivated and eager to progress.

Communication expressions include greetings, introductions, ja and nein, danke and
bitte and other familiar phrases, songs, simple storytelling, and description activities.
Vocabulary starts with animals, body parts, numbers, shapes, small objects, and colors, before moving on to food, farm-related words, useful "around town" expressions, and household terminology. Grammar starts with simple nouns, first-, second-, and thirdperson present-tense verbs, direct and indirect articles, the conjunction und, the pluralization of nouns, third-person plural present-tense verbs, third-person past-tense verbs, simple prepositions, and expressions conveying "there is", "there are", "isn't", and "will be".

Cultural topics introduce the geographies and customs of German-speaking
