We understand that moving to a new country and starting school in a new language can be difficult at first. This Padlet is here to help you – and your children – find your way more easily.

You can use this Padlet at school and at home to:

• Support your child in learning the most important German words and concepts for school and everyday life

• Learn more about the German school system

• Find useful addresses and links for German courses, integration help, and other support services in and around Weiden

Every column includes:

1. 🎵 A German children's song related to the topic – to help your child learn words through music and fun

2. 📽️ A short explanation video about the topic – so you and your child can see and hear the words in action

3. 🗣️ A picture dictionary with real photos – each word is recorded in German and can be played again and again, so your child can hear and repeat the words
