Waldsee offers übercool adventures in German for beginning through advanced learners, all in a fun, motivating, virtual setting with master teachers, talented counselors and participants from across the country and around the world.
Waldsee’s Virtual Village began in 2020 and allows villagers to learn German all year round. From one-week sessions in the summer to full academic-year programs, villagers are able to be immersed in the German culture and language from the comfort of their home.
Have fun learning everyday German you can really use with friends and in games, arts, sports, cooking, baking, environmental, historical and cultural activities.
Enhance your language skills with active learning! At a Waldsee Virtual Village session, you may visit a German museum, learn to bake Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (German Black Forest Cake) or go on a scavenger hunt using your German vocabulary.
Activities are based in German culture and utilized to further villagers’ language acquisition.
In order to best take advantage of this interactive experience, you will need the resources necessary for e-learning (reliable internet access, a device per villager with a webcam and microphone) and any individual adaptive devices needed; headphones are recommended but not required. Use of Chromebooks is not recommended as villagers cannot access all the features of the Virtual Village platform. As a program of Concordia College, we are coordinating our efforts with the college so that all virtual platforms will have the necessary and appropriate security features to protect the privacy of users, including compliance with FERPA and COPPA.
