German School Made Easy – Zur Schule gehen leicht gemacht!
Is your child ready for school in Germany? 😊
The Junior Language Club offers weekly German group classes designed specifically for pre-school and school-age children who need support in learning German to help them integrate better at school – both academically and socially.
Our immersive lessons introduce children to the German language and culture through engaging activities.
We group the children according to their school grade or year of enrolment, ensuring each child is placed with peers of a similar age and skill level.
This enables us to use the most suitable teaching materials for each group, guiding them step by step through their learning process.
Children from around the world are placed into groups based on their school grade or the year they start school.
Together, they prepare for the challenges of the German school system (Grundschule),while developing key social,
linguistic, and motor skills, and consolidating essential topics for their academic success.

🔍 Our Groups – a Closer Look
🧸 Pre-Schoolers – School Starting 2027🏫
Our toddlers have their first encounters with the German language through play – in small, age appropriate groups, and always with lots of fun and enjoyment.
Our youngest learners/students learn with all their senses, for example by combining certain words with movement. Through this combination of hearing, seeing and feeling, the learning content is absorbed holistically. The children sing, play, clap, stamp, paint or do handicrafts. These different approaches to the foreign language enable a natural, dynamic division of the lesson. Phases of concentration are followed by phases of relaxation, and movement games are followed by quiet activities. The holistic approach not only focuses on practicing a language, but on the child as a whole. Language is experienced through action, play, movement and perception. For this reason, the children’s feelings, experiences and wishes are also addressed and taken into account in language lessons.
📚 Teaching materials: Hand puppets, audio recordings, play sheets, picture books, music, handicrafts, picture cards, coloring, memo cards, experiments for the senses, games for the senses, movement games.
🎯Our Goal: The children develop a feeling for a new language in a playful way and without pressure to perform. Memory, concentration, oral and fine motor skills and speech rhythm are trained. This supports their openness to communicate with peers as well as adults and to make friends.
📘 Grades 1 – 3 (German Grundschule)🏫
Our groups are separate for the individual grades (1, 2 and 3).
They support the kids in working on school related materials to ensure that the relevant topics are comprehended while still focusing on developing necessary language and social skills.
In addition to sensory perception, the use of writing and the training of self-learning techniques come into play. Typical teaching elements such as grammar, sentence structure, listening comprehension, reading skills, text comprehension, pronunciation.
With the first graders we focus on ensuring a comfortable transition into their school life.
📚 Teaching materials: Worksheets, audio recordings, song lyrics and music, language games, learning posters, short films, writing games, dictionaries, role-playing games.
🎯 Our Goal: The children are introduced to the foreign language in depth; their language skills are gradually expanded, and an independent learning attitude is practiced. In this way, our language trainers teach responsibility for independent learning. Through considering the students’ personalities and interests the openness to speaking increases and language inhibitions are minimized.
🎒Year 0 –School Starting 2026(Vorschule)🏫
Our preschoolers are introduced to the school topics of the first grade in a fun way while also developing their German to be able to socialize at school.
Our young learners awaiting to start school next school year are slowly introduced to typical forms of teaching and communication with teachers and classmates. The kids work on improving the German vocabulary to facilitate open communication and to enable them to follow along at school. The designated material supports the kids in preparing for what will be expected of them in the different subjects. Key skills like teamwork, fine-motor skills, taking initiative and independent learning are practiced.
📚 Teaching materials: Practice books targeted specifically towards children preparing for their first year at school. Materials cover German as a language and general preparation for the first grade. Also songs and music, language games, crafts, short films, sound games and role-playing games.
🎯 Our Goal: The children are familiarized with the necessary language skills to follow along and enjoy lessons at school; socializing skills ensure an inclusion with peers and adults.
📖 Grade 4 (Last Year Grundschule) 🏫
The fourth-graders get an insight into the next step of their school path and are prepared for the “weiterführende Schule.”
Just as our groups for grades 1, 2, and 3, the groups for grade 4 support the kids in working on school related materials to ensure that the relevant topics are comprehended while still focusing on developing necessary language and social skills. The difference lies in the additional preparation for transitioning to the “weiterführende Schule”, as this is an important turning point on the kids’ German school path.
In addition to teaching elements such as grammar, sentence structure, listening comprehension, reading skills, text comprehension, pronunciation, the children are taught to work independently and learn to proactively use their social skills.
With fourth graders we focus on ensuring a comfortable transition into secondary school.
📚 Teaching materials: Worksheets, audio recordings, song lyrics and music, language games, learning posters, short films, writing games, dictionaries, role-playing games.
🎯 Our Goal: The children are introduced to the foreign language in depth; their language skills are gradually expanded, and an independent learning attitude is practiced. Additionally, independent working and related necessary skills like time management are being taught. Through considering the students’ personalities and interests the openness to speaking increases and language inhibitions are minimized. We aim to enable the children to reach a level which they can continuously improve independently.
