And here it comes, my new time-table for German adult classes. I'm offering both structured Beginners/Refreshers classes and more informal conversation sessions for learners with previous knowledge of German, where we explore a whole range of interesting topics while mainly focusing on your speaking skills. For my English learners, keep your eyes peeled, English for adults is coming too!

One of our lovely clients this morning reminded me that on international polar bear day, the picture book character Lars, the little polar bear, created by Dutch author Hans de Beer, deserves a special mention. These are beautifully illustrated books, translated into many languages. If you have a small child that you would like to familiarise with German, why not read to them from the German version "Kleiner Eisbär". They are wonderful stories about courage, adventure and friendship.

Wusstest du schon? Heute ist Welteisbärentag. It's international polar bear day today. Let's celebrate these beautiful animals and do our best to protect them.
