Anna, this is a GREAT example of little deposits on a regular basis. You’re accomplishing two goals: building a lasting relationship with students AND providing comprehensible input in a new language. This is what makes education meaningful! Keep up the great work.

I feel like I actually get to know my students so much better than with the textbook. Making deposits is an ingrained part of my class through PQA. Today for a warm-up I asked my 3rd years “What makes you happy?/Was macht dich gluecklich?” and I went around and talked with each student briefly about what they answered. Maybe it’s just a small deposit each day but first semester I was deep in the red with that entire class, and now I feel I have a positive balance. I’m sure we can’t be everywhere at once, but attending concerts, sporting events etc also makes a big difference!

Deposits are so very important. Withdrawals WILL happen in spite of our best intentions!!!
