we’ve already secured most of jan’s christmas gifts, mostly from amazon — books, videos and cds, all in german (otherwise we would have placed our orders in the US site).
if you speak german, you can tell that jan has an advanced german vocabulary, diction and sentence construction for his age. we knew, however, that with his strengthening english and introductory mandarin, he’s running the risk of slipping on his german, so we countered this with a rich exposure to german literature at home, particularly books and audiobooks. it seems like it does help; when my FIL was here just recently, he has been positively surprised that jan has kept this, using complex sentences with clauses and almost perfect grammar.
what would we be without amazon?
