Playground German

Everything you need for a nice chat in a German playground

Dear Fellow Mom,

do you live in Germany as an expat mom and have a hard time socializing and making friends with other moms because you don't speak German or your German is not good enough?
Do you often go to the playground with your child and would love to chat with other moms and their kids but you just miss the right words and sentences to react naturally? Does it make you feel insecure, frustrated or sometimes even isolated?
Would you like to improve your German but you don't know where to start and how to find the time because you take care of your child the whole day long?

After this mini-course you will feel so much more relaxed and confident on German playgrounds, because you will know exactly how to react in certain very common situations: you will know exactly what to say at the swing, at the slide or in the sandbox and you will easily be able to introduce yourself to other moms and tell basic information about your own child. You will have the basic playground vocabulary and will be able to react to other children approaching you and your child in German. Going to the playground will be so much MORE FUN! Not just for your child but also for you!

With this course you won't learn "the Geraman language" in general, some random vocab or a lot of very complicated and very dry grammar! You'll learn instead exactly what you need: all the words, sentences and dialogues that you can immediately apply and use day by day!
And another good thing is: it is an online course! You don't have to go anywhere! You can work through it at your own pace, whenever you find some time for it! I know very well, how hard it is to find time for anything as a mom!
This course is for you if
- you live in Germany as an expat mom
- you go to the playground regularly and often you experience awkward silence or even feel a little embarrassed, because you don't know what to say, how to react
- you want to improve your German effectively
- you don't want to waste your time with vocabulary and grammar that are not relevant to your life and cannot be applied immediately
- you don't want to put together all the sentences that you actually need and take the risk that it takes ages for you and eventually they sound strange
- you need a flexible concept of learning, because you never know when your child is teething or getting ill
- you want to learn from home at your own pace!

I am Marta Kojnok, the founder of German for Moms. Just like you, I am an expat mother. I come from Hungary. I am a qualified language teacher and trained Language Coach.

Working as a German teacher for years made me realize that the one-size-fits-all solution of the mainstream language teaching industry is often not leading to the results that every language learner wants: speaking confidently... or speaking at all.

It is also too much focused on teaching grammar and vocabulary. And often it doesn't prepare you to interact in everyday situations that are relevant to your life.

That is why I am working today with a language coaching approach that puts YOU into the focus of the learning process and not the language itself.

When I became a mom of two, I spoke already fluent German but I experienced firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate and organize everything related to pregnancy, giving birth and taking care of your child in a foreign country.

I also realized how important it became to me to share my experience with other moms. I knew without a good command of German it is even more challenging.

That is why I decided to start working exclusively with expatriate moms. First, as a teacher, later as a language coach. What I realized then was that there is a big need for learning German in a way that helps us, mothers, to interact in situations that are relevant and important to us. E.g. in the playground, at the doctor, maybe with the German family of our partner etc.

My vision is that with my personal and practical approach I can help a lot of mothers to be able to communicate and connect and enjoy motherhood and life in Germany.

For me, it is not about reaching A1, A2, B1, B2 and so on...

It's about finding your voice and your place in Germany.

We are going through huge transformations as new expat mothers:

  1. relocation: a new country with a new language, new customs, a new social network
  2. motherhood: a new identity, new fears and insecurity, new challenges, new family dynamics, new financial situation

I believe it is crucial to share this experience with other women and to find back to our new selves. And along the way speaking the language of the country better and better helps us a lot.
