Steph and Mia have been immersing themselves, not so much into the language but with paint. Every Wednesday they attend a painting and drawing school conducted in an old coal mine.... with heavy black machinery hanging from the ceiling in their studio. It's parent-free, so serves as gentle practice for the inevitable full-immersion at school, which is creeping up gradually on the 31st August! Interestingly the teacher feeds the students a bowl of carrots during break-time ...
Our Deutsch also progresses. Stephanie converses with all children in every playground - most are disappointed they don't get to learn more English. Mia is choosing to immerse herself in her 'land of unicorns'... pure escapism! I've sampled InLingua which was AWFUL (1st lesson: read an article about the Love Parade in Duisburg - understood 20%; 2nd lesson: watched the DVD Christine F (R rated and minimal conversation) - understood 80%. Quit. Now attending 2 private lessons/week. Fingers crossed.
