Hi there! I’m a non-native speaker of German raising my two boys to be bilingual.
Froggy was born in 2009 and is now in 8th grade. Hippo was born in 2012 and is in 5rd grade.
My husband PER is from the Netherlands, but he doesn’t speak Dutch with the kids. Although he used to read books in Dutch to them when they were younger.
From 2014 – 2020, we had au pairs from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
I’m often creating materials for the boys, and I wanted a way to share them with other German-speaking families. In 2015 I began teaching German at our Montessori school and eventually moved on to teaching all the students in our school, from pre-K through 8th! I often use a method called Story Listening.
The boys are at a new school now, so I am not teaching any classes at the moment. I am, however, tutoring one fabulous beginner German student!
You can download all of the materials I post for FREE!
