German that holds up in tests
Many children abroad speak fluent German and still lose marks in tests. We practise text types, grammar and vocabulary the way school requires them – using the material from class.
In conversation, it all works. On paper, it doesn't.
When speaking, questions, facial expressions and gestures help. When writing, your child has to express their thoughts with words alone. That is exactly the practice often missing for children who speak a lot of German but write little in it.
How we work
-
The text types
Narrative, report, summary, argument, discursive essay, analysis and interpretation: each text type has its own structure. We practise exactly the one the school is asking for – using the material from class.
-
The language of school
Technical terms, vocabulary, sentence structure and expression. Your child won't pick these up automatically in everyday life. So we practise them specifically – with texts from class.
-
Grammar and spelling
We work with your child's own texts and practise specifically what isn't yet secure in grammar and spelling.
What changes
- Your child knows how a text is structured before starting to write.
- They find the words they need for an idea.
- The grade shows what they know again.
“Assade was recommended to me by a friend, and I am very grateful for that recommendation. My son took German classes there and truly enjoyed the way the language was taught. He made very fast and impressive progress, especially in grammar. I really appreciate…”
