There are very few learning materials on the internet with German subtitles. That’s very helpful. I sometimes watch movies for deaf-mutes :). But the short videos are much better for beginners than long movies. One more thing, I’m always curious what you’ve prepared for us. :-)

I work as a freelance foreign language trainer and coach in Hungary, in a fairly large city. As a language coach, I am always looking for new ways to motivate my coachees; I am always on the lookout for new materials. The keywords in this review are always authenticity, effectiveness, and fun. All this I find in your project, which pleases not only me, but also my students. They always look forward to the new sequels of your „soap opera“ (in the good sense of the word) and to the new useful expressions that they can use in everyday life as well as in the office.

As a language coach, I usually do private lessons, and we just watch the videos every hour. The subtitles are very useful, especially at level A1 / A2.

Your films are always a nice break for my daily routine and I think about my time in Germany – I studied in Wroclaw, but also in Bielefeld and Heidelberg. It is also always nice to hear your German, because you speak so nice German. My children also enjoy watching the films and are happy to meet their German colleague (Maynard) in their age in the film.

I’ve never been to Germany, so I can only imagine what it all looks like in Germany. With the „family“ I felt the real atmosphere, saw with my own eyes, how a German family lives. Of course new words are always very interesting to me. Many videos we have already looked at together with the students.

Both the students and I are extremely excited !!!

We watch your videos with the kids together, and they always ask a lot of questions. I think it’s very good that they find out in this way that there are people (except me) who speak German. Unfortunately, we do not have any personal contact with German speakers. Although I am a DaF teacher, I am out of practice since I am at home with the children, I personally benefit a lot from the videos: as far as the language is concerned, especially the everyday language, which you can learn hard in your own country and The customs of how your family lives their everyday life, to see it, to experience it, is also something special. Whenever I look at your videos, a bit of Germany comes to us. :) And I always long to Germany.

My name is Solvor Sundsbø and I’m from Norway. I teach German at a school near Oslo. My students are between 12 and 16 years old.

I have shown many of your videos to my students, so that they get an insight into the everyday life of a German family and learn something about the culture in Germany. Cultural studies is an important part of the lesson. I am looking forward to new family videos from you!

My name is Donatella and I’m from Italy, Northern Italy.

I’m 50 and I’m a housewife. I am also grandma !! I learn German only for fun.

I can speak German only a bit and find the language very difficult, but it is also important to learn at least one foreign language in life.

I found this site by accident. I find them very interesting and funny even if I understand very little.

Unfortunately I have to search the most words in the dictionary …. but I like your blog and try this month to see it ..

I like their videos because I can hear and also read the text … I can also see how a German family lives and learn new words.

The German host family means a lot to me, thanks to you I have not only new ideas for my lessons in the integration courses (just great materials from everyday life, which you get in this form nowhere), the membership has for me also a personal reference, in terms my migration background. I can learn a lot from you, although I have been living in Germany for 14 years. The special thing about this project is not the project itself, but the atmosphere and the people behind it, so dear Birte and Peter. You are unique ;-)

Thanks to the very likeable videos, you have become kind of like a distant family.

In the next course I want to show via notebook again and again one of your videos, because I call the volunteer course anyway not German course, but „Germany Course – Life and Speech in Germany“. That’s exactly the topic of your family stories!

I am very happy about my membership in the family! First, I learn a lot myself. And for my students it is a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the life of a German family, to hear authentic German, to get to know German realities in such an attractive and exciting way. Doubleless increases the motivation to learn German and gives an impulse to learn even more about the German language, culture and traditions. My students greet you, dear family members!

Thank you very much for your videos, which not only bring me a lot of fun and instruction (not only in the German language, but also in cooking, baking, crafts, etc.), but also my students who learn German as a second foreign language ,

We all like to watch your videos and we really learn a lot of new stuff.

You are a nice family and I am very grateful to you for doing such a great thing!

Hi! I am Carri, Judith’s husband. I am in A2 level. I know a lot of internet resources for learning german. I have lots of videos, books… And really guys: this is a must have! The best I found since the „ichlingorismus“ who also changed my studies. Listenint to a child, real conversations with him, this is unique. I love your recipes also (zucchini uummmh) and I remember the vocabulary while we are cooking or singing.

So thank you very much!
