I am an American who lived in Germany and I speak good German. My husband's family if from India and he is first generation american. However his family did not teach him their native language and it is something he really wishes they had done. I still have my german family, whom I visit every other year. So to make a long story short. We decided that we really wanted our son to be exposed to a second language and the easiest for us is German.
I am now hunting for resources and experiences similar to what we are trying to do. My German is strong enough that I could speak only in German to him but it takes more effort from me. Needless to say I am not hitting that mark. I have gotten some basic materials like "teach me german" and some books but I could use some more ideas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We listen to the Deutshewelle in the morning and sings songs....oh I wish I could find a german play group but at this time I just need some creative ideas.
Here is another site I found
I am also in the process of trying unsuccessfully I might add to update my blog, please excuse the construction phase. My connection is very slow here.
