German\u00a0 seemed the perfect choice for Paige when we discussed languages because our neighbor and mother of her best friend is from Germany. Paige has used Rosetta Stone<\/em> but also receives tutoring from our neighbor, Heike twice a week. Heike’s daughter and another home school friend also take lessons. The girls are 14-15 years old and they have enjoyed a great year of German lessons together. They use the textbook, Deutsch Aktuell<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Paige chose C.P.E. Bach and then performed the piece, Solfeggietto<\/a> on the piano. The other girls played pieces by Beethoven and J.S. Bach. It felt very Jane Austen having the young ladies play the piano for the company.<\/p>\n

Here is Paige with Mark putting the finishing touches on her map of Germany.<\/p>\n
