Deutsch-sprachige Familien
in ABQ
Ich habe diese Seite eingerichtet, um andere
Deutsch-sprachige Familien in und um ABQ
herum zu finden. Mir ist es wichtig, dass mein
Sohn wenigstens ein wenig Deutsch sprechen
lernt und das geht am besten, wenn es noch
andere Leute, neben der Mama, gibt, die das
auch tun. Ich plane, sowohl Spielgruppen für
die Kinder zu organisieren, als auch Treffen,
an denen die ganze Familie teilnehmen kann.
