*THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*The #1 SUNDAY TIMES bestselling authors and award-winning podcasters Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle created We Can Do Hard Things the guidebook for being alive — to help fellow travelers find their way through life.When you travel through a new country, you need a guidebook. When you travel through love, heartbreak, joy, parenting, friendship, uncertainty, aging, grief, new beginnings – life – you need a guidebook, too. We Can Do Hard Things is the guidebook for being alive.Every day, Glennon Doyle spirals around the same questions: Why am I like this? How do I figure out what I want? How do I know what to do? Why can’t I be happy? Am I doing this right?The harder life gets, the less likely she is to remember the answers she’s spent her life learning. She wonders: I’m almost fifty years old. I’ve overcome a hell of a lot. Why do I wake up every day having forgotten everything I know?Glennon’s compasses are her sister, Amanda, and her wife, Abby. Recently, in the span of a single year, Glennon was diagnosed with anorexia, Amanda was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Abby’s beloved brother died. For the first time, they were all lost at the same time. So they turned toward the only thing that’s ever helped them find their way: deep, honest conversations with other brave, kind, wise people.They asked each other, their dearest friends, and 118 of the world’s most brilliant wayfinders: As you’ve traveled these roads —marriage, parenting, work, recovery, heartbreak, aging, new beginnings—have you collected any wisdom that might help us find our way? As Glennon, Abby, and Amanda wrote down every life-saving answer, they discovered two things:No matter what road we are walking down, someone else has traveled the same terrain.The wisdom of our fellow travelers will light our way.They put all of that wisdom in one place: We Can Do Hard Things—a place to turn when you feel clueless and alone, when you need clarity in the chaos, or when you want wise company on the path of life.We are all life travelers. We don’t have to travel alone. We Can Do Hard Things is our guidebook.Featuring wisdom from: ALOK • Sara Bareilles • Dr. Yaba Blay • Kate Bowler • adrienne maree brown • Brandi Carlile • Brittney Cooper • Brittany Packnett Cunningham • Kaitlin Curtice • Megan Falley • Jane Fonda • Stephanie Foo • Ashley C.

Wir Spielen Zusammen contains 20 easy-to-play photocopiable games that are a fun way to practise speaking and listening to German. Playing games is an ideal way to learn a foreign language as children become more confident speakers in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. They will practise speaking and listening without realizing it!

Das Ist Deutsch! is the ideal way to introduce German to primary school pupils. The flexible format means it can be used in school or for German clubs. The book is divided into 18 units. Each unit teaches a grammar point and introduces related vocabulary. The teacher pages provide easy-to-use lesson plans with learning objectives, keywords, activities, and extension activities. The pupil sheets provide practice and reinforcement and can be copied. Written by Kathy Williams and Amanda Doyle. Published by Brilliant Publications.Clear links are made to other curriculum areas, in particular literacy, numeracy, and information technology.Das ist Deutsch! is designed for non-specialist teachers of foreign languages. The scheme aims to encourage primary school pupils to enjoy learning German and to communicate in speech and writing through the acquisition of simple grammar and a variety of vocabulary.Each of the 18 units has teachers' notes and photocopiable pupil worksheets. Each unit addresses several learning objectives, allowing for the material to be taught over several lessons or as a whole. Grammar teaching is approached through the context of the unit theme, for example, 'der'/'die'/'das' in the context of household objects and adjectives in the unit about clothes. There is progression through the units, but they can equally be selected for use in a different order, to complement classwork in maths or English, for example.The 'Schlüsselwörter - Key Words' section in the teachers' notes for each unit contains the language that pupils should learn. Frequent references are made to relevant units elsewhere in the book where the same key language also appears. Additional vocabulary may be required to meet pupils' particular interests, and some of the activities require the use of a German-English dictionary.The 'Activities' sections are written as suggested lessons and provide readily accessible teaching plans that can be adapted and altered to suit individual needs.
