A resilient concept that is as strong as Bruno himself.

For children aged from around six to eight years of age (grades 1 to 3) who are learning German as their first foreign language.

With the new GFL textbook, Bruno und ich, children between the ages of six and eight (grades 1 to 3) learn German holistically and in an engaging way as their first foreign language. In three volumes, the series of textbooks teach them the essential linguistic structures for level A1.

A colourful layout which has plenty of pictures, appealing topics, engaging tasks and a smooth linguistic progression – with Bruno und ich, learning and teaching is great fun. Rhymes, songs, poems and games allow children to learn the linguistic structures as well as the correct pronunciation of words. They also allow children to practice their listening comprehension. The small bear, Bruno, guides them along the way and takes away their fear of the new language.
