  • Nachrichten für uns!

    Nachrichten und Gespräche, die für uns „im Süden“ relevant sind. Und dazu interessant für mich als Linguist zu sehen, wie man zwischen den Sprachen code-switcht. Höre ich immer gern zu.

  • Committed to the neutering of Germany

    This podcast seeks to exploit and disgrace Germany. It does not celebrate the great history behind the German people and nation. Another typical, fearful, self loathing podcast. Cowardly and sad.

  • It's not the best option

    The sounds are often not from a native speaker and some of the topics are weird and sound unnatural.

Learning Through Play – The Fröbel Approach and the Future of Early Childhood Education - Spielend lernen – das Fröbel-Konzept und die Zukunft des Kindergartens
Q: Why is play not opposed to learning in Fröbel's approach?
Play is the vehicle through which children explore, collaborate, and problem-solve; when guided by attentive educators, play naturally leads to cognitive and linguistic development rather than distracting from learning.
