Geburtstag! Our learners learnt the lesson – “Alles gute
zum Geburtstag” which focuses on the topics of date,
months and years in German. Our learners obtained
knowledge of trennbare verbs (separable verbs) - einladen

Hence, they act as, or they are the torch-bearers of our life.
Without their Guidance, we all would be lost. The lesson
emphasizes a short story, where the Grandparents teach
their Grandchildren the value of various things. The story
revolves around health. We have all heard that health is
wealth. And one must cherish it as a treasure. To cherish it,
