Monika

We want to send a big thank you to Mrs. Monika, the girls' German tutor for the two years before our move to Germany. It's a funny story how Thomas found her, a former German teacher for the Goethe Institute...He was at a golf tourney hosted by the German-American Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta. They exchanged contact info and shortly thereafter, our girls spent Sunday afternoons at Mrs. Monika's learning German songs, doing experiments, conjugating verbs (ugh....) baking bread, reading, and the list goes on and on. She not only taught them the language, but told them about German traditions, geography, HORSES, etc... If not for her, the transition to German school would have definitely been more difficult for the girls. She is an amazing teacher with a huge heart and wonderful ideas. We sure do miss her, Amelie and Wotan! Alles Liebe...... xoxoxoxoxo
