Brochure: Why German?
Why should children and young people learn German today and why is it beneficial to start early? There are many arguments in favor of this: The promotional brochures and films of the "Ideenkoffer" present this in a vivid way. Our PowerPoint presentation with a series of arguments is ideal for information events to show parents, school administrators, and young people that learning German is worthwhile.

Lessons
The idea that German is difficult to learn is widespread among young people. The three lesson units prepared for secondary school are intended to counteract this impression. The sample lessons on "Numbers", "Geography" and "German after English" are suitable as a first lesson. They can show teenagers that they can quickly learn some German words and that learning German is not that difficult.

You will find all the lessons in print form and on the enclosed USB card.
The "Ideenkoffer" is supplemented with interesting additional materials: easy-to-understand A1 reading texts, posters, badges and stickers motivate to dive into the German language.

Let's go.
