In the spring of 2008, Austrian, Swiss and German families in the Columbus, Ohio area came together with two common goals: First, they wanted to provide instruction in the German language -- reading, writing, grammar, and speaking --for children who, although their parents speak German, are growing up in America and speak mostly English.

German is the main native language of the European Union.
It is spoken by about 105 million people throughout Germany, Austria, northern Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and in portions of many other countries.
Unlike English, German has hundreds of regional dialects, but 'high' German (standard written and spoken German) is recognized in all German-speaking countries.
