Starting school in Germany can feel like a maze — especially for multilingual families. In this first episode, I talk with Gökçen, a math teacher and father of three in Berlin, about what parents should really know before their kids start school. We discuss how confidence, language, and communication shape a child’s first classroom experiences — and why a calm, curious approach matters more than perfection.
