I know German school from both sides.
I'm Maria: a public-school teacher, a mother, and someone who learned German from scratch. I see how children can speak confidently and still struggle with the language school expects.
Everyday German is not always the German that school expects. That's why I created AYKEN—to help international parents recognise what is missing and help their children build the German they need.
