Baby steps

Learning a new language can be a daunting task. It’s fun to watch Emily take her first steps toward learning German. She’s taking several good actions, such as going to German church to be immersed in the sound of the language.

She recently bought a children’s story book. It’s a good place to start! We enjoyed reading about Frederick der Maus. Once we were done with cute mice telling stories about summer days, we moved on to German history. Actually, I moved on while Emily continued to look at the pictures in the Frederick book.

Keep it up, Emily – one day you’ll understand the stuff in my book (even if I read it in an Alemannisch accent)!
