Hi there, Has anyone had their student do German 1 with Oklahoma State online www.germanonline.okstate.edu I would love to hear some feedback on what you loved or did not love about it. Thanks Sherid -
Updated in post #67 with my review of CLRC's German 1 that I ended up signing DD#1 up for. Please post your reviews of German 1/2/3 if you feel comfortable doing so. Bluebonnetgirl is looking for a German 1 class for her ds for next year. ----------------------------------------- I bumped an old thread on the K-8 board with this question, but thought I might get more feedback here, so I'm cross-posting just my post: I'm looking for online German 1 for my dd#1 who wants to add another language. She does well with live classes & loves languages. Finding a good teacher is key for this kid -

My daughter just recently realized that the Words with Friends App now has the ability to play in some foreign languages so she has been challenging her brothers in Spanish and I have played in German against my son who is learning that. Any other ideas of games that can be played in other languages? I know you can get Bananagrams and Scrabble in foreign language editions. -
Hi forum, this is probably a long shot, but are there any homeschooling families in Kansas City area, who are bilingual in German and/or Russian? I am hoping to find like-minded people and give the children the opportunity to speak with someone else then the parent all the time. And also to be able to exchange ideas on bi- or trilingual homeschooling. Hope to find someone :) Christina -
I just did a search for (free) online German resources and thought I would share.

For that very small population that might be interested in this, I thought I'd post... So dd just took the AP German last month and today the SAT II / subject German (and French and Math Level 1) First, she thought doing the 3 SAT II's was a bit too long. Of the three today, she found German the most difficult. Comparing German and French SAT's she said that there was twice as much reading comprehension on the German exam, much more grammmar and in addition, gender questions. On the French SAT, there was a lot more fill in the blank type questions, hardly any grammar and she doesn't reme -
My kids are signed up for it through German school and wondering if anyone has experience with this program. The books they were assigned are lovely though and I was wondering if there is anywhere I can see a book list so that I can borrow them from the local libraries. The program website is this https://www.antolin.de/ -
I am looking for a non-computer based German program for my logic aged son. Logische! was suggested on another forum here, and is looking quite good. I am interested in any more information about it from people who have used it, and any other suggestions before I commit to it! I am thinking of starting with A1 level. My son has done some Duolingo, but we are finding it no longer accessible from our rural dial-up and want to avoid as much computer in any case. Other than that he was loving the Duolingo and had gotten to around level 8 in the lessons about halfway through tier 1 as a transl

This is a fun take on compound word construction in German :) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1395415414033692

Admittedly this isn't for beginner level FL's...but it could be reinforcement for a language or help if you are doing a bilingual school - and it could be good prep for going abroad to study...

I just want to let you know that OSU German Online seems to be working very well. We are in German II. The boys just had their first tutoring session with OSU German Online and did very well. They seemed so grown-up! Anyway, for those of you who wonder about German programs OSU German is a great option.

http://www.education.vic.gov.au/LanguagesOnline/default.htm There are videos and worksheets and worksheets answers for: Chinese French German Indonesian Italian Macedonian Spanish Turkish ETA: These are at beginner's level, mainly vocabulary with some grammar.

DD has been doing Duolingo (wonderful program BTW!) and I'd like to get her some easy to read books to work on also. The vocabulary in picture books is too hard so I was thinking about early readers but I don't know any series to look for on amazon.de. Same with early chapter books - something along the difficulty level of Magic Tree House or Henry and Mduge in German. Danke!

Found these german math worksheets. They use a dot for multiplication and two dots for division. They have for Klasse 1 to 8. http://www.matheaufgaben.net/arbeitsblaetter/ These too for Klasse 1 to 4 and includes word problems http://www.vswest.at/show.aspx?SP=1&url=am4math I put this post in the bilingual board as some might find it fun for their kids to try out math worksheets in another language.

I've looked through many posts re: OSU German... how are those who are taking it this year feeling? From what I have read it seems that if you have a "dud" student/teacher you can request another ... and that you often have to ask for the weekly call-ins to include conversational German as opposed to just worksheet review... What else do we need to know? I have an upcoming 8th grader who wants to start German this coming year. She will also be taking French for the 2nd year... would this be a good choice? If she takes one class per year, she'll need to start this yearto reach the AP

Popping in very briefly as my syllabus still isn't done :0, but I found this video about including the cultural roots of a language into the study of the language and I find it fascinating. Since it wasn't really on my radar - I thought some others might not know and be interested as well... This is the link - but for some reason it won't come up again http://www.learner.o...05/analyze.html So I think you have to go back a page or two to the beginning...look at the boxes on the left and click on "View and analyze the video" http://www.learner.o...05/examine.html Joan

I've had some recent cross-cultural communications which have made me wonder.... I know it is always hard to completely correctly convey ones thoughts in a non maternal tongue language and especially understand subtle communication in that language.... Also regentrude's comment from the Living in a Bilingual Environment thread: So I am wondering if we could talk about presentation of ideas in German composition - but it helps if the person has some idea of English composition and the use of figures of speech and techniques such as using the passive voice in cases where it is b

Is there a German site that teaches letter sounds? Or German DVDs similar to LeapFrog?

Does anyone know of online German grammar quizes that might be keyed to or similar in scope and sequence to German Online? I'm comparing the ability to do grammar/vocab drills in our Lukeion Latin class using Quia games with German Online and wishing that the OSU German course had something similar. My kids have a tendency to fill out the worksheets once, but not really learn/master the grammatical concepts. It seems that they have developed a fill in the blank mentality without realizing that these are paradigms and concepts that they need to understand and apply to new vocabulary.

How is your student finding the workload? Is it about the same as II? Is your student enjoying it? I notice the format changes between II and III? Could you please tell me what some of the differences are? My dd is just finishing up level II and even though I've been happy with her German progression, the time she spends on it is quite a bit (about 45 min per day/5X per week). This year she'd like to concentrate more on some of her other languages without German taking over. I'm thinking of having her at least take a break for a year but then I'd also have to find another way for her -
I'm trying to find a website that has on demand german kids shows online... I've found a lot of news and adult content shows, but have a hard time finding a lot of german kids shows for my kids to watch... Our Cable provider doesn't offer "deutsche Welle" and it seems KIKA online doesn't offer a lot if you're not in Germany... any ideas? I wouldn't mind subscribing to it if it's fairly cheap... Thanks!

Hi, We are looking for a German Textbook at middle school level. Does anyone know of one? We use Rosetta Stone and we are in need of additonal instruction to understand how the grammar works. Susie

I would appreciate resource suggestions for studying German. This is for "self-education" as opposed to a high school course so I'm not worried about credits or how it will look on a transcript. It is for a person who learns languages easily and already knows a bit of German and is primarily interested in picking up reading fluency in a time efficient way. Thanks!

My daughters would like to take German next year for high school and we are having trouble finding a homeschool curriculum. We would like a curriculum to do in the home, not an online or community college course and something that is more traditional, not immersion. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Renae in AZ Homeschooling 4 girls Wanted them to take Spanish but they hated the idea. German it shall be!
