Re: school, language

Do you mean that the parents don't speak the language, or that the kids don't speak the language?

Many kids turn up here and don't speak the language. Some parents prepare them for school/kindergarten by sending them to the local playgroup or cresh in the local language.

For school-age children there are DaZ classes (Deutsch als Zweitsprache/German as a second language) - extra classes that help non German speaking kids, learn the language.

The kids always learn quicker than the parents. Then its up to the parents to learn the language so that they can communicate effectively with the teachers.
