Continuing our series about how our American kids are doing in German schools, here's our experience in Grundschule (Elementary School). Our boys started in February of 2021 in the 2nd, 4th, and 5th grades. Besides the obvious language barrier, there have been MANY other cultural differences we were not prepared for! It's all part of the adventure of living in another country.

//ABOUT US//
We are a family of six, with four kids and a cat 😹, who moved from the USA to Germany in February of 2021 to pursue our dreams of adventure, travel, learning another language, and integrating into German life. We hope you enjoy our videos about our journey to integrate - the highs and the lows of being foreigners on the adventure of a lifetime.
