According to psychologists, children under 3-5 years old won’t absorb educational material in traditional formats like textbooks or uniform resources. Alternative methods are needed. For children under 3, it’s recommended to introduce a foreign language through songs, cartoons, simple words, and phrases. Later, this exposure should become more varied, shifting to a playful format with everyday dialogues. When a child starts school, parents should begin systematic learning to build foundational knowledge, while maintaining engagement through the child’s interests and motivations.

Yes, we offer courses for children starting German from zero. However, learning varies by age, so parents should be prepared that it may take longer in some cases. We’ve accounted for this in our age-adapted programs. For students with no prior knowledge, we’ve developed a special program with a similar concept for children’s learning. Its essence is a gradual increase in workload, from introductory and Ukrainian-adapted texts to discussing complex topics and reading the Brothers Grimm in the original.

Children’s programs are designed to spark interest and fully engage them in learning German, so topics are covered interactively. Specifically: learning words in a smart dictionary and with 3D models, plus cartoons with relevant vocabulary. Theoretical lessons work this way, while practical ones involve quests on online platforms, games requiring German expressions, and varied examples to check rule comprehension. Lessons can be individual or in groups, depending on the request.

You can buy books if you need additional learning resources, but all necessary course materials are provided electronically. We’ve found no need for textbooks. Since our learning format works effectively with interactive methods, using printed materials is impractical. Our approach draws on traditional school foundations, but the delivery style and methodologies are entirely different and more relevant today.

Yes, AP Education offers a free trial German lesson for children. It’s held to let our most ambitious students decide if the learning format, lesson style, and our humble center meet their aspirations, as well as to allow the teacher to assess their level. It also helps parents guide their children toward the right choice.

Yes, AP Education offers individual German lessons for children. These are useful when students miss key points in group lessons and need to review and reinforce difficult material one-on-one with a teacher. The entire course can also be taken individually. This format provides a more personalized approach with a flexible schedule chosen with parents, allowing faster progress and a more comfortable learning environment.
