Reading tip: Your child speaks little or no German, and you wonder how they can still make friends? In our blog post Learn German for Kids: The 6 Most Important Questions Parents Ask we answer exactly this and more.
From what age can my child attend a German course at your language institute in Frankfurt?
Children can start our German courses from the age of 6. If your child is younger, simply book an appointment with us. This allows us to get to know your child and advise you individually.
Can children without any German knowledge join?
Yes. We offer German courses for children both with and without prior knowledge. Our one-on-one lessons are ideal for both beginners and advanced learners, as we always start exactly at the current language level without creating pressure. This way, your child feels safe from the very beginning and makes steady progress step by step.
How quickly will my child make progress in your German course?
Children learn at their own pace, so it’s impossible to give one general answer. In many cases, first successes become visible after just 8 to 12 hours of lessons.
How is progress in German checked or documented?
There are no formal tests or grades. This would take away the naturalness of learning and turn German into a competition: needing to be “good” instead of enjoying the process.
Instead, each lesson is tailored to your child’s needs and interests. Progress is quickly noticeable to both children and parents.
My child is shy – how will they still learn to speak German confidently?
We use a variety of playful methods that activate visual and emotional perception and make children want to speak. Most importantly, we always work with topics that genuinely interest your child. In most cases, it only takes a few hours until a child gains trust, feels less shy, and responds more spontaneously in German.
Will there be homework or exercises at home?
This depends on the child and the situation. Depending on the age, homework may involve reading, writing, drawing a picture related to certain words, or playing a simple game in German with parents or siblings. Sometimes, no homework is given at all if the school day is already very full. Extra tasks should never make German learning feel heavy or stressful.
What happens if my child feels unmotivated?
Just like adults, children have good and bad days. Our teachers are well prepared for this and use different methods to re-engage your child, ensuring the lessons remain fun and effective.
How is your course different from regular school lessons?
Our German courses are not mandatory classes. Children quickly notice that they are doing many fun activities, which makes them realize: “Wow, I’m getting better in German!” There are no tests, no grades, and no vocabulary drills in the classic sense. Instead, children enjoy a wide variety of activities where learning happens almost naturally – sometimes without them even noticing.
How can I be sure the course really works?
You really don’t have to worry, because:
- We have over 20 years of experience teaching German to children and use a large variety of materials that we adapt to each child. This way, we meet your child exactly where they are linguistically.
- Parents regularly tell us how much more confident and natural their child has become in speaking German.
- We only offer German courses for children as one-on-one lessons. This ensures your child gets full attention, can speak without pressure, and makes much faster progress.
- In addition, we provide regular feedback to parents, so you can clearly see the development at every step.
How big are the groups in the course?
German classes for children are offered exclusively as one-on-one lessons. If your child has a sibling or a friend at the same language level, they can join together in a small “Team2Learn” setting with one teacher.
What does a German class for children cost? Do you offer packages or flexible bookings?
We offer a package of 20 lessons (20 x 45 minutes). The cost is €54 per lesson, totaling €1,080, all learning materials are included. If 45 minutes is too long, lessons can be shortened to 30 minutes – in this case, there will be more than 20 appointments.
Do you offer a placement test?
Yes. Before enrolling, we arrange a personal meeting with you and your child. If your child already knows some German, we’ll spend some time talking in German to understand their level. If not, the meeting helps us get to know your child and design lessons that match their needs.
How can I register my child?
Registration is very simple: either directly after a personal consultation at our school or conveniently via email. Together, we will decide how the lessons should be structured and which schedule works best. We’ll then send you all the information by email and arrange the first lesson – making the start as smooth as possible for you and your child.
Where exactly do the German classes for children take place in Frankfurt?
Our children’s German courses take place in person at our school:
📍 Schäfergasse 50 – 60313 Frankfurt
If you prefer, lessons can also be held online.
