Relocation date: Moving on August 1, I would like to start lessons right after relocation

Student’s language needs and goals: The Student is 5 years old and needs to understand her nursery teachers and her new "friends" in the new country.

Additional Information: The student attends a Mandarin school on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. She loves it, as the teacher is very sweet. They sing, dance, draw, and do handicrafts in the class. They also get stickers if they do their best. Nothing about learning is her dislike, as she is more of an "invisible" child in the class. But she does not like kids who are too loud. The student loves languages, and she knows all the letters of the German alphabet. She can speak Apple, Banana, Pudding, and count one to ten in English. Her only English song is "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." She has, in general, broad interests like a typical 5-year-old. She is still exploring.
